1/ I have a name for the function of pages (not blocks) in #RoamResearch. I call them the hunter/gatherers of the tool. This function is represented by three page "types". Want to know what they are? Keep reading #RoamCult...
2/ The page types help in understanding how process is implemented in Roam and can be used to strategically guide process development.

1/ A tip for organizing your work time (deep work, Pomodoro, etc)
My processes are organized & optimized for CREATION. Creation fuels & satisfies me. However, to get to creation there are other types of work that are necessary. Consume (or collect), synthesize and communicate.
2/ Consume, Synthesize, Communicate activities feed into each other and set the foundation for CREATE.

1/ A thread about the Knowledge Economy, Ideas, & Roam Research.
In the knowledge economy, your ideas are as good as cash so you must be intentional about how you spend/invest them.
Just as everyone should have a money philosophy, every creator should have an idea philosophy.
2/ You can donate your ideas through one-on-one conversations (helpful DMS - mine are always open), or with volunteer coaching.

1/ I've said it so many times - the correct question to ask when synthesizing notes in Roam is not...
"Where does this go?" but
"When do I want to see this again?"
A thread...
2/ This question is easy when you are focused on an exclusive project or piece of output, because the answer is always, "When I am working on the aspect of the project or section of the output to which this information is relevant"

1/ I feel the need to procrastinate on my thesis for a minute to speak out on the Roam vs. Obsidian vs. all the others battle. You may be sick of hearing this from me, but it all comes down to process!
2/ Once you choose a tool (the first time) you must know what you want to get out of it. What is the RESULT you are looking for.

I love this image from @ShuOmi3 I would add that when you integrate your notes into your life planning, discoverability and usability is even more powerful. 1/8
2/8 - I use a tiered linking system for my notes in @RoamResearch. I have at least one link (usually many more) on every source (page) or note (block) depending on how deep my progressive summarization has gone thus far.
