My @RoamResearch system has made me 10x more productive than I ever was in Todoist—and I WAS productive in Todoist!
But managing tasks, planning, working, tracking, capturing—all in the same environment—changed everything.
It takes some setup, but it’s worth it. 2/6
I’ve recently started using @obsdmd to write my novel (@time_worn_novel), and to learn Obsidian, too.
The essential principles of productivity translate to Obsidian, not surprisingly.
That said, it IS a translation—Roam and Obsidian are not interchangeable. 3/6
Which is why…
AP Productivity Cohort 4 (launches 4/19) will include an Obsidian beta group!
If you use @obsdmd and you want to learn the AP Productivity principles and help me discover some best practices in Obsidian as you build your system, I want you in the cohort! 4/6
My @RoamResearch friends are welcome, too, of course!
During our live session breakouts, we’ll split into Roam and Obsidian users for ease of learning the framework.
But in Office Hours demos and the community we’ll get to learn from each other! 5/6
If you’d like to receive an email when registration opens, follow the link in the quoted tweet.
Obsidian users will receive a 50% beta discount (which is fair, as Roam users will receive templates, SmartBlocks, and expert Roam-specific feedback!). 6/6
A few thoughts on creating content in Tools for Thought—in this case, specifically in @RoamResearch & @obsdmd.
I'm currently making my first pass at my 4th Weekend Upgrade newsletter, and I feel like I'm hitting a rhythm with my process.
I allow myself 10 days from first...
...pass to final draft. That way, I'll have a presentable draft about a week in, and I can sit with it a day and tighten it with fresh eyes before I publish it.
On Weekend Upgrade 3, I worked a total of 4 hours and 15 minutes over the 10 days.
Roughly half that was...
...planning/organizing in @RoamResearch and the other half drafting/polishing in @obsdmd—which reflects my sense that Roam is better for linking things and Obsidian is smoother to write in.
Worth noting: that 4:15 was 5 separate work sessions.
