Here’s something I hear from new #Roamans on a regular basis:
"I'd love to use @RoamResearch for managing tasks and projects, but I'm afraid I'll lose track of them."
or
"I'm worried I'll set things up the wrong way and it won't work."
or… 👇

“I’ve used every #productivity app out there. They all start out amazing but after a few weeks things pile up and then I get lazy and it stops working. Why should I invest EXTRA effort to create a custom system in Roam when the real problem is ME and no app can fix that?”
2/🧵
Let’s set aside the fact that it ISN’T you (it’s system friction).
If you’re still reading this thread 3 tweets in, then you’ve seen the magic of Roam and you want that magic to be working for YOU and YOUR work.
Is that possible? (spoiler 🚨: It is!)
3/🧵
I've been a #productivity nerd since I read #GTD in 2014. I used @todoist (a great app!) for 6 years.
Moving my system into Roam 19 months ago was life changing. I get more done—and I work on the things that are most important to me.
All that with a simple Daily Cycle:

I…
1. Choose my work in an Agenda on the Daily Notes page
2. Track my work in my Log with a friction-free SmartBlock
3. Capture my ideas & tasks with my Inbox tag
4. Connect what I capture to my GTD Projects and Recurring Actions
And then I do it again the next day.
5/🧵
Try doing all that in a task app. Not a prayer, not unless you have a few other apps open too, all of them vying for your (limited) attention.
Building my custom system in @RoamResearch lets me keep my #GTD flow with my work and notes. They complement each other.

What would your life be like if you got 25% more work done?
What would be the value of a course that made your work 25% easier to accomplish?
How much more money could you make?
How much more time could you free up to spend with those you love?

AP Productivity is an 8-week live cohort course to help you get important work done in @RoamResearch.
I’m with you every step of the way as you sketch, develop, refine, and fine tune your custom productivity system in Roam.
Part of my conversation with @jasongriffing on @roamsessions this Thursday will detail how I not only implement but also EXECUTE a GTD-style productivity system in @RoamResearch
#GTD makes amazing lists. But lists can pile up. My Daily Cycle helps solve that.
1. You are a @RoamResearch user 2. You would love to move your task management system into Roam 3. You haven't because Roam can't handle recurring tasks
Saddle up, fellow Roaman. I've got your solution and you'll have it up and running in no time.

This video—"How to Create Reliable & Robust Recurring Tasks in Roam Research"—has everything you need to get going.
I'll explain a bit here on Twitter so you know what you're getting into.
