Long time no tweet.

I’ve been concealing myself from this echo chamber to explore Roam and what feels good and natural for me without referring to someone else’s workflow.

I’ll try to write every lesson in this thread.

👇🏼
1/ I replaced every permanent note from page to block.

It felt more natural to have it as a block without the structure of page. This way, I utilize ctrl+shift+9 to ‘surf’ my notes more frequently than [[.
2/ Remembering @syncretizm ‘s tweet about delta feature’s tie to Today, the more I use it. Sending blocks to tomorrow is amazing.

I ditched read-later app because of this. Save everything you want to read, send yourself a reading list for tomorrow.
3/ @roamhacker Delta smartblocks to review every other day also get its portion in my workflow. I made a #Purpose statement, crafted in a day and I send it to review every 7 days and increment by 7 days.

A good way to keep your goal in sight and adjust accordingly.
4/ I found to-do-list losing its appeal.

I don’t know how it came to be, perhaps because every time I write something which I want to send to my future self, the answer is either delta feature or nest them under the date where I want to work them on.
5/ Method is confining.

I don’t subscribe to any method now except Zettelkasten. Even my zettelkasten’s distinction of literature note and permanent note is blurry. I simply insert to tag my literary note. The tag itself congregate, so why bother making another page?
6/ Relevant Note is for physical slipbox.

The ability to filter linked reference in @RoamResearch should suffice to keep the relevant notes fluid—you don’t have to refine it everytime you add new notes.
7/ Adding a line as the first block of my Daily Note template.

The line serves to separate the deltas I sent from previous days before I begin my morning routine.

A humbling quote to start my day. 😀
8/ Separation between Writing and Deep Work.

I nest all my writing session under [[Write]]. In relation to Zettelkasten, perhaps this is closely tied to Project Notes.

- Write is for explorative, playful attention.
- Deep work is for immersive, focused attention.
