As a @RoamResearch [[true believer]] (philosophically since March, financially for a month), I obviously admire the work and the approach of @Conaw and his team. I get amazing personal value from Roam. But it's the Roam community that blows me away even more. 1/
The community around Roam is welcoming and non-toxic. Roamans agree with passion and disagree with grace—the opposite (or worse) is often the case in other corners of the web. While the name #roamcult is understandably offputting to some, the nature of Roamans is wholesome. 2/
If "ye shall know them by their fruits" is true (and I think it is), the @RoamResearch community demonstrates the deep worth of Roam itself. 3/
I'm just so glad I was able to buy in to a platform that enables my own growth and simultaneously fosters such a vibrant, healthy community. Thanks @Conaw and the @RoamResearch team for leading the way! 5/

If you log your meetings in @RoamResearch, you'll always have the right info at your fingertips. You'll bring greater value to clients and colleagues—and to yourself! It's like the "interactions" section in your CRM, only WAY better. Here's how I log interactions in Roam. 1/
First, the fundamentals involved. This method relies on Daily Notes, [[pages]] as tags, smart indenting, Linked References, and filters. I mention this because it's critical to recognize how Roam's features interact to facilitate your workflow. 2/
In my work, I wear many hats. I coach entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals. I teach actors to sing. I write music. I conduct a church choir. So I have a variety of meeting types that I track in Roam. 3/
The case for building your CRM in @RoamResearch. Here are three reasons, with examples, for why I moved my CRM from Notion to Roam. 1/
First, the bi-directional links in @RoamResearch are IDEAL for focusing on relationships. This is the killer feature: if I type, e.g., "Talked to [[Tom Smith]] about a [[collaboration with Roam Research]]," that will show up on Tom's page. 2/
Wherever I am, I can make a note (or a to-do, or whatever) that develops my relationship with Tom. When I need that information, it's in the [[Tom Smith]] linked references, and it's easy to filter to the info I need. 3/
The case for GTD-style task management using @RoamResearch 1/
I've used Todoist, happily, for almost 6 years. 46,662 completed tasks later, I moved my task management into a custom-built system in @RoamResearch (complete with #@next, #@waiting, and all the requisite GTD labels). 2/
Why would I do that? Todoist is structured for tasks. Roam isn't, other than a general [[TODO]] page where every unfinished task is referenced. What benefits made this long-time Todoist user build a system in Roam from scratch? Other than my general nerdy-ness, that is... 3/
