Good news: I blew my own mind today by experimenting with a new form of longform writing workflow that works well in Roam

Drafted it out on paper and thinking YES THIS WORKS

Bad news: Now I need to study Smartblocks to make the template work efficiently GDI
I think I've given myself something impossible to do

How the heck does one design "create 8 header blocks and leave behind blockrefs in earlier blocks above it according to hierarchy" my brainnnnnn
Nvm for now manual is fine, need to test if this experiment is sustainable first of all
Had to figure out how to transfer a video from iPhone to MacOS and that took too long lol

Anyways, here's a very convoluted explanation of how it works @cortexfutura !

Gotta say the new @DescriptApp looks reaaaally good for sharing! Loving the transcript + autoscroll and being able to resize it here
Here's Part II: Seeing potential applications and a draft of what I'm trying to build out here. It's v0.5 of my Skeleton Framework and Ecosystem Writing, which is a writing workflow that works in tandem with blockrefs and ToCs!

And now they will think:
I wonder if Reddit as a platform’s the cause hmm…may want to explore works on open/closed communities with varying levels of governance in the future for personal research

This is happening tonight!

Just need to recover from spicy food (intense stuff guys) and I’ll start doing some pre-readings on attention 🧠
Also unsure if I want to have music on the stream or not

Spent the day listening to Sarah Vaughan and that’s not exactly tools for thought music is it 😅
Live now!

Wow the serendipity of this

It’s always nice seeing worlds you’ve been a part of for so long come together 😊

(Speaking as the host of RoamFM + a SuperLearner certified coach as part of Jonathan Levi’s academy)
There was going to be some time when I want to dedicate a % of exploring my notes to memory palaces, markers and more, sharing experiences I’ve had with clients and seeing them grow their palaces

Now may be a good time to do so!
Related to this, if anyone has any questions on the craft (speed reading, memory palaces, and information processing) I’m here to help out!

Question for @RoamResearch users: What's your favourite theme to use? I'm in a mood to spice up my other graphs!

Switching to a different graph for the first time in a while and I forgot how different vanilla theme looks from my own 😅
@RoamResearch I have answered my own question, because it occurred to me that I can just do this (h/t @rcvd_io)
@RoamResearch @rcvd_io Tried importing iA Writer's Quattro into my private graph and I have to say I'm not a fan of it

I love Quattro, but I think it works best in mono themes and not ones with popping colours (don't know how else to explain it)

It looks scattered (R) compared to mine (L) ImageImage

Do knowledge workers do something like 'collective thinking sessions'?

eg. A 2 hour session where you have an agenda for discussion/thinking a topic:

First 30m: Discussing potential questions, fallbacks, etc.
1hr: deep thinking work in silence
Last 30m: Discussion and review
I would think this format works really well, especially in CKM environments which is what Roam is advocating for (the digital version of this session)

(currently thinking of more ways to get into that environment where I'm compelled to naturally deep dive into topics etc.)
I'm under the firm belief that with proper controlled conditions, you can broaden angles in thinking about something depending on number of people involved:

Solo in private: chaotic freedom
Collective sessions: Conversational insight
Thinking in public: According to the world

Something I like to do in my spare time is swapping words out in sentences and exploring what they could possibly mean, eg.

Writing an essay
___ an essay

?

Painting an essay
Building an essay
Calculating an essay
...

Helps with broadening my tacit definitions!
eg, if writing an essay means penning down an experience or thought into words, painting an essay could mean doing the same but on a canvas, your words are colours and the shapes are your beliefs
After you get bored of it, the next step is to question the meaning of the word essay

You're bound to find some commonalities between these words so it'll get saturated, and the only way to move forward then is to question the very thing you're working on

What IS an essay?
