Saving this for the weekend.

I've been looking for the iOS shortcut community for a while now and wondered why it's rarely mentioned in my bubble.

Integrating w/@NotionHQ, I've developed several shortcuts that drive my capture + draft flow.

Worth a look for the curious mind.
Two examples - Twitter advanced search (so you don't have to remember the syntax to search in Twitter) and IOS shortcut that integrates with @NotionHQ for idea capture, search, and remix!
iOS shortcut x @NotionHQ integration

Good for idea capture and quick access/search with Notion database.
Also showcased here how you can integrate iOS shortcut x @NotionHQ x @RoamResearch.

This really gave me the opportunity to think deep about my personal workflow and customize it using a low code/no code tool that is iOS shortcut.
Kinda secretly giddy that @TfTHacker is looking into this - everything this guy touches turn into gold.

Can't wait to see what cool stuff he comes up with.

Our natural wiring leads us to seek the truth where it is easy, rather than where it actually is.

It's a known phenomenon coined "drunkards search" or "streetlight effect".

THREAD: The mental wiring that keeps us stuck and the mental toolbox to combat it👇 Image
First, a story:

A police officer sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight.

"What's going on?" inquires the officer, "do you need help?"

"Yes, I lost my keys," the drunkard mumbles.

They both look under the streetlight together.
After a while, the police asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, "no, I lost them in the park."

"Why would you be looking under the streetlight here then?!" the police asks.

"This is where the light is," says the drunkard.

I’ve always found the life advice “step out of your comfort zone” to be -

• Too hand-wavy
• Anxiety-inducing without being effective

Instead, ask these questions👇 and act accordingly; they will inevitably lead you down a path out of your comfort zone w/o coercion.
#tweet100
To find a path that leads you out of your comfort zone, start by asking:

• Where do I feel friction/pain? Solve it.
• Where do I feel curiosity? Lean in.
• If I'm already the person I want to be, how will I act? do that.

Then to take it to the next level…
You can super charge the impact by asking/acting on -

1. Where do I feel friction/pain? Solve it then scale it.
2. Where do I feel curiosity? Lean in to the pull and ship consistently.
3. If I'm already the person I want to be, how will I act/make decisions? Do it right now.

Summary of "Roam for Productivity" session w/ @jasongriffing and @MatMcGann.

1. GTD concepts that drove my approach in Roam
2. Daily page setup x GTD walkthrough
3. My capture toolkit: @NotionHQ x iOS shortcuts
4. Tips and tricks
5. Closing notes on #TfT

1. Generalized GTD philosophy I internalized when I built my Roam graph(~1 min):
• Your brain is a crappy office
• Externalize your thoughts
• Close the open loops (for tasks running in your head)
• Be deliberate w/ planning and clarifying your work

2. Daily page setup x GTD walkthrough; broken down into the following topics(~12 min):

(a) My Daily Pages
(b) My GTD System (sprinkled w/ some Roam42 + workBench(wB) + Alfred automation magic dust)
(c) My Daily Workflow (how to switch context quickly)

I've spent an obscene amount of time trying to figure out the right TfT (Tools for Thoughts) stack for ME.

My curiosity led me to explore 10+ TfT tools, but at the end of the day, I was just trying to solve 3 major pain points.

And here is where I landed as of TODAY.

🧵👇
A little bit about what is important for me -
• I'm looking for a "functional minimum structure" that helps me to get shit done
• I have a hectic schedule and a fragmented mind, so having a powerful quick-capture tool is important

I choose my tools to solve 3 of my main pain points -

1. Quick capture + shallow processing
2. Deep thinking + facilitate connections between unstructured data/ideas
3. Structured workflow to collaborate with my future self or a team

"Why would I pay for a course if I can find them for free?" This used to puzzle me.

(h/t) to @tferriss DiSSS rapid learning framework(deconstruct-selection-sequencing-stake) I think people underestimate the importance and time investment needed for Selection and Sequencing...👇
1/ Selection - When I first learn something, everything feels like a signal and I don't have the mental scaffold to decide what to keep and what to toss.

Being guided through a structure course helps to focus on the 20% that yields 80% of the result.
2/ Sequence - I don't think learners pay enough attention to this; there are skills/knowledge that serve as foundational blocks where the right sequence enables
maximum output.

And as an amateur learner, I do not have this knowledge.

Ever wonder if GTD had an app, what that'd look like?

Turns out David Allen (@gtdguy) had a clear idea in 1994, tried to build it twice but never got to where he wanted.

I stumbled on this and decided to prototype it out in Roam.

Took me about ~5h. 🧵👇
1/ Prototype progress: 65% done, but 100% functional.

I want to test drive this for ~2 weeks to tinker with the automation and smooth out some wrinkles.

Also still trying to read David’s hand-writing to decipher some of his feature requests lol

But damn. This is exciting.
2/ "What would David Allen’s tool for thoughts (TfT) look like?" I asked; I was so curious.

With the prototype, I deviated ~20% from David's original design (mainly to adapt the GTD principles to fit the digital context I work in) and 15% blocked by Roam's limitations.
