I'm excited to go live with @readwiseio's @deadly_onion and @erinmuur tomorrow to quiz them all about their native @obsdmd integration!

Will you be joining us for the live demo and AMA?

It's open to all.

Details below 👇
Tuesday, 9:00 AM PDT (Los Angeles) / 16:00 UTC

Register here.

I'm personally interested in how Readwise can "smartly" import my book notes into my note-making space.

lu.ma/v89ay8qh
What type of "smart" import am I looking for?
1. Can it add new book highlights without overwriting the whole file? Because once I start note-making, I don't want my connections to be erase.
2. If I change the filename, I'm assuming that will break the "connection" with Readwise, and Readwise will create a new (second) file with the previous filename. Any chance I'm wrong and Readwise can somehow perform some magic here?
3. How much fiddling can I do with the import settings? It's not essential, but I do have my preferences...
"Smart Import" is crucial because then I can confidently and safely develop ideas in my custom PKM system—connecting it to aha's & insights, memories & milestones—creating an even richer tapestry of personally meaningful knowledge! ✨💪🚀

What is sensemaking?

In short, it's making sense of the world around us.

Good sensemaking illuminates our thoughts and guides our actions—adding clarity and enrichment to every moment of our lives.

A thread 🧵
If we can improve our sensemaking by even a tiny bit, we can greatly improve the quality of our inner world and the quality of our contribution to the world around us.
One supercharged, healthy, and sustainable way to improve our sensemaking is through a process I call note-making.

There are many note apps out there...but among them...

Obsidian is one of one—without equal—an app of apps.

It's a generational level event.

Here are 8 ways Obsidian (@obsdmd) is changing the game...& the 2 forces driving it.

A love-thread🧵
This is a celebration and a love letter. It's a celebration because after 15 trailblazing months of Obsidian being in beta, this week marks the official launch of Obsidian's mobile app. 🚀
This is also a love letter. Because for free, Obsidian is empowering anyone from around the world—with a computer and a desire to think better—a way to do it.

What I see that gets me fired up, is when people with platforms—people with positions of responsibility—are making money encouraging others to over-collect, over-highlight, and yet under-think.

Why do I care❓

Mini 🧵 (1/6)
Because they are teaching people to develop the habits that will form a toxic relationship to Knowledge in the long-term. (2/6)
And when that toxic relationship—based on FOMO, "Shiny Object Syndrome", and superficial thinking—backfires 3-5 years down the road...

...people will either become disillusioned with PKM or they will think *they* are the problem, losing some self-worth and feeling shame. (3/6)

What is PKM?

PKM is a new term to describe an old problem:

"How do we make sense of the world?"

⚜️Maybe you're trying to get through history class...or write your dissertation for a PhD.
⚜️Maybe you've gone down the internet rabbit hole into some fascinating topic but don't want to forget everything by next week. Image
⚜️Maybe you're putting together a grocery list or a list of todos for the day.
⚜️Maybe you're working your way in a new career, trying to track who knows who, and how, and how that's relevant to your aspirations.

Note Wars: The Age of the Linked Note

A thread 🧵on the history ideas and the current state of notes.
THE ANCIENT AGE

After many millennia of wandering in darkness, something emerged into the consciousness of humanity: ideas! Since that Promethean moment, humans have tried to figure out how to handle them.
The ancient Greeks constructed elaborate Mind Palaces, where they held memories in the mind. Ideas were also shared by making sounds with vocal chords into what we call words. Thus came the beginning of "Rhetoric": where words expressing ideas were spoken to each other.

Too many people are note-taking too much.

This means they are thinking for themselves too little.

Mini-🧵 » 1/11
Let's try to agree that "note-taking" is more about "consuming" than "conversing" or "creating". 2/
The opposite is "note-making". It is more about "conversing" with ideas and "creating" unique perspectives from the ideas encountered. It is not about "consuming". 3/
