1/ This thread will be built with the top suggestion of Threadhelper. I'll riff on the suggestion.
2/ This thread of threads is the first suggestion. I guess that's a good introduction to this account
3/ Threads are a great way to see what people are interested in. Drafts could become articles or events or side hustles or full on businesses.
4/ This practice is also my equivalent of a pianist doing her scales. Communication is key to what I want to do in life.
5/ Thinking out loud via Twitter has worked so well that I've resolved to do the same for my spiritual life. I've created a alt account, but have yet to post. It's hard. @RoamanPilgrim
6/ Threadhelper just explained the tweet above
7/ Another reason for tweeting: letting people know your challenges makes it more likely that someone qualified will solve it.
8/ Increase the probability of success by increasing the chances of serendipity, and increase serendipity by telling as many people as possible what you are passionate about.
9/ Also, if you keep an idea in your head, it has a higher chance of just dying.
10/ This is getting weird. Another reason: by tweeting profusely, you might just become a conduit for ideas to reach their right partners in this world
11/ Sharing ideas in threads is part of a system that molds me into the person I think I should be
12/ It also allows me to understand and retain ideas of others better. Plus it might help others out there.
13/ Just posting questions in twitter is also a great way to find answers that you don't know you don't know. Here's an example:
14/ If you want to be good at something, you have to practice. If you want to be humble, you need to experience little humiliations. Thinking out loud exposes and documents my ignorance. I feel that embarrassment. It's just practice.
15/ Serendipity wants me to remind you to do morning pages, daily if you are a professional creative, or when you need it, if you are a normal human being
16/ Morning pages was originally paired with Artist Dates. I call it Serendipity Walks. In the past week, I experimented with [[The Discipline]] and this is my substitute for Play Day.
17/ This is a reminder for you to go out there and explore your city.
18/ And like your physical body is meant to go to the outdoors and through city streets, your ideas are meant to roam free
19/ Roam is for letting your ideas talk to each other. Twitter is for letting ideas across minds talk to each other. I thought the thread ends here since the recommendation seemed the same. Turns out it was just me repeating myself.
20/ I guess this means I need to emphasize this point. Ideas are meant to be communicated. Threadhelper helps your past selves communicate to your present and future selves.
21/ Any great achievement requires collaboration between your past, present and future selves.

This thread ends here, because the next recommendation is the same as the previous one.

1/ WHAT IS @RoamResearch?

I. Why is Roam so hard to explain? (The key)
II. Using computing power to aid biological thinking
III. Roam features as components of software-assisted thinking
- Atomizing
- Relating
- Retrieving
- Focusing
IV. Examples of using Roam Image
I. Isn't it intriguing how hard it is to explain Roam to your friends and family? What makes it hard? When is software easy to explain, and when is it hard?

Who do you see in #roamcult? I see academics, people of The Book, productivity nerds, inner-work people & mushroom folk.
What do we have in common? We have all have made the journey with the mind, and we have sought tools to aid in this journey: Zettelkasten, BASB, journaling, memex, SRS, mind palaces, psilocybin. Roam made sense to us because we knew the problem and cared enough to seek solutions.

1/ USING @ROAMRESEARCH FOR SLOW-BURN EVIDENCE-BASED ENTREPRENEURSHIP (THE NERDIEST WAY TO EARN YOUR FREEDOM)
Here's how I check whether I'm free: I could say Yes to ideas who have approached me and are asking me to bring them to reality.

The only reason for a No should be ongoing commitment to other ideas, not because I have sold my time to someone else.
Another way to check whether I'm free is to flaneur a la maestro @nntaleb

My freedom is not yet at the level where I can take a sabbatical every 4 years, but I already see the pathway.

1/ HOW DO YOU USE @ROAMRESEARCH FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH?

Sections:
I. Wait a minute: #roamcult was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. What the hell is this!?

II. My current usage
Section I. How could a piece of software help you grow spiritually?

1. Using computing to assist thought is new.
2. Previous tech helped make people saints.
3. Roam helped in other areas. Why not in the spiritual life?
Here's an attempt to explain Roam to a friend. I compare it to traveling.

Biking is an upgrade to traveling with just your legs. Writing is an upgrade to thinking with just your first brain.

#roamcult who's got a template for grappling with journal articles? Let's exchange notes!

Here's a first draft based on this resource from @JoelChan86

1. Skim (focus on focus on title, abstract, figures, and conclusion)

2. List related pages in Roam

1/
3. Prioritization:
🔹probability of usefulness
🔹impact on my work
🔹score (I create a hashtag of the product of p and i, eg #readscore9)

4. Read now, assign to future self (page ref a date), or archive

2/
5. Reading
🔹Create the top level structure for nested blocks
🔹Skim and write questions
🔹Find the answers
🔹Copy important sections and tag
Idea tags #claim #conclusion #proof #application
PM tags #cost #integration #scope #risk etc
(example screenshots)

1/23 WHY I USE @ROAMRESEARCH FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT
🔹Fabricating serendipity towards ikigai
🔹Zettelkasten for entrepreneurs, artists & civic leaders

Here's the video version: loom.com/share/6dc066d9…

Thread version below
2/ I started using Roam because of Zettelkasten. I wanted to improve my writing process.
3/ It has been 6 months since I've opened a Roam account. And I've only written one long-form article 🤷🏽‍♂️ roambrain.com/i-tried-to-bui… @RoamBrain And this was just an elaboration of a Twitter thread.
