Anyone using Notion for Journaling?

[Sprout]

The "templater" plugin is like adding an entire scripting language to Obsidian. As a coder in a previous life, I really like that!

And the "dataview" plugin basically allows some slice and dice database functionality to your vault(s).

Of course, the calendar plugin is just that... used all the time. LOL

Glad I could help you out.

Logseq has been easier to start working with right-out-of-the gate.

My Obsidian is in read mode, lot’s to digest.

After all this discussion, I spent a few minutes over my Saturday morning coffee on Youtube...

This is just a "random" pick regarding plugins. It's relatively current, short, and has a good pace to it.... you may find it useful.

Thanks so much!

While I was initially pulled to Notion, Logseq and Obsidian are showing their strength.

This is a great suite of plug-ins!

Is it more prudent to setup Git prior to installing these plugin's?

ideas that make you feel excited."

I do not use Git, or any version-control warez. I have a thumb-drive and an automated backup process that supports versioning. Fits nicely with my preference to work with local app installations and unencrypted files. Less frequent cloud backup is also maintained.

Caveat:
It's very easy to over-think the process for creating and connecting the ensuing "brain(s)".

BTW... a caution with Tiago Forte. He does have financial interests in some of the products and services he promotes. That said, He is a recognized expert in the field of productivity. His videos are well done and may contain useful content.

Thanks for the caveat and caution.

Rn, working with Logseq's Journal entries, I like it's interface, it has a enough structure to get moving quickly. Page generation is also quick.

Now looking to expand into Obsidian.

Have you synced your Logseq to your Obsidian? Is there any gotcha's in doing so?

No gotcha's that I had or have. EZ and straightforward.

I spent a couple hours looking at Logseq plugins this weekend, but with no specific goal(s) in mind.

wow!... The raindrop.io plugin in combo with the Kanban is really interesting!! The agenda plugin has also found a place in my setup. Also learned from YT channel onestutteringmind for using audio files. Really simple.

Thanks for starting the topic in the first place!!

I finally started to use GitHub......absolutely love it. I don't use the Fork or Branch functionality, so my implementation is simple. I use it to maintain a snapshot of my code after any changes are made.

If you are comfortable and can do it without compromising privacy, would you post an image of your knowledge graph?

My visual orientation is being pulled toward apps that support it. Invision is looking interesting.

Anti-library
- a bookshelf of books haven't read yet, an idea introduced by Talib as a way to keep one intellectually curious.

So interesting how re-framing can shift perspectives. Before coming across this concept, I've had guilt in having so many books yet so many unread.

All the concepts are interleaving with each other.

They are not software, but have templates for workflows, data capture, assimilation, accelerated learning and idea synthesis.

In the era of information overload and novelty distraction; this concept of digital minimalism is something that is hitting the right spot and the right time, at least for me.
