My current daily capture workflow uses @devontech's #DevonThink, @readwise Reader, @obsdmd, @clickup, & @craftdocsapp. It's working quite smoothly these days. I can find what I want when I want it, it's helping me get work done, and not getting in the way!
📣Dear Online Course Creators:
Take a moment to count how many assets you have in your course for students to download. There is such a thing as "course bloat". I just downloaded 243 assets (combination of Videos, Transcripts, audio files, & PDF eBooks) for a 4-wk course. 🤯
See? I'm not kidding. It...just...keeps...going....
In case you're wondering - why did I bother?
I never finished the course, so I'm going to work on it in Q1 of '22. Also because I make a habit of downloading course assets to a storage location where I control my access. In this case, @devontech + my Google Drive.
Mapping out my #PKM workflows was supremely helpful for me to see which tools were working well together and which weren't.
Today I'm sharing how I'm using my PKM tools and my second brain on a typical (working) day.

Each day I start by tracking some data in my @NotionHQ databases. First up is entering ACTIVITY data from my @ouraring from the previous day. 2/
Next up, I add data related to how I'm feeling as I start up the day. This data comes from my @ouraring, my @RenphoGroup scale, and personal reflections. 3/
💡Idea: Use these 4 W's in your online course immediately to dramatically reduce repeated help desk questions, improve participation, and encourage course completion. (a thread) 1/
First, all of this needs to go on a page titled "START HERE". Capitals are important. Don't capitalize any other page titles. Why? Because it's attention-getting & students' eyes will be continually drawn to that 1 thing that's not like the others. Add your 4 W's here. 2/
Note: Also important, make sure to use headers to distinguish each of your 4 W's. Otherwise, the text all runs together & when read quickly, some of this core content WILL be missed. Use the header style, please, it helps screen readers for accessibility! 3/
Cohort-based course creators (CBCs) increase students' understanding of topics when they teach complete topics in a brief & easy-to-understand manner. This thread shares what I observed & learned from Session 2 of @cahouser & @julia_saxena's "Minimum Viable Video Course". 1/
), I'm reflecting on my CBC experiences to provide a "peek behind the curtain" for others interested in joining in the future and hopefully to inspire fellow course creators to level-up their teaching practices. 2/
1st: minor context: I'm watching this at 4 AM the day after the lunchtime session as I wasn't able to attend live. Course Creator Takeway: I'm still finding tremendous value even though I wasn't able to attend live. Recording quality should not be an afterthought. 3/
I'm in the midst of a few online courses right now for fun (popularly known in the outside of academia world as "cohort-based courses" [CBCs]) & I'm going share what I'm learning in post-session tweet recaps. Here's why: 1/
Summarizing takeaways helps keep me accountable to review my notes, which helps me turn my ideas & reflections into actionable tasks & projects in #Notion, & provides you with a glimpse into what the course is like should you consider taking the course in the future. 2/
Yesterday's session was with @cahouser & @julia_saxena - "Minimum Viable Video". I participated* over my lunch hour. Participated gets a * because I had some Zoom issues which kicked me out of the first breakout session but I was successfully able to rejoin & 3/
