Daily habits are the most important aspect of digital efficiency and how to prepare for a more productive workflow. But daily habits are not only the solution to the problem of digital efficiency but also the reward for solving it.
If you work more efficiently, you’ll have more time to indulge in your favorite activities on a daily basis. To me, my favorite daily habits are reading, journaling and linking. More on this in the video.

      Thanks for the kind words! You're certainly right, consistency is one of the keys to success here on UA-cam, but it's also really hard work that I don't have the capacity for at the moment. I've prioritized my studies (alongside family and work) over the past few months and am currently writing my Master's thesis. After that, I still have to work on a project for my part-time job, but AFTER THAT I definitely want to start making content for my own channels again, and then more consistently. Best regards!

    I'll let other knows here, there's a great plugin for this in the community plugin browse tab: obsidian-syncthing-integration in github and obsidian in-app community plugin browse, tab section. currently the implementation is still in beta, no issue but some caveat rn is https option in the GUI could be chosen but there's a workaround first that must be done in the github issue, it's a workaround so not official yet, im currently fine with http, since using git means running a risk of tripping my knox since i got sensitive apps in my phone. the ignore pattern (.stignore) is:.obsidian (I prefer this even tho it means i must do plugin managements myself, but considering this is an advise by forum member, i picked this) the api key is in your syncthing GUI settings, the username and password must also be the same in the syncthing GUI and the plugin UI. the mobile has the ping: pong test (API status). while desktop also include the syncthing version test (CLI status). the base URL must match too.

    This is from a chat with Chat GPT 4: - Mind Maps and Learning Complex Topics - **Purpose of Mind Maps** - Mind maps are visual tools designed to organize and represent information in a hierarchical, non-linear format. - They help in understanding, retaining, and recalling information by showing relationships between concepts. - **Typical Use of Nodes** - Nodes in a mind map typically contain keywords or short phrases. - The brevity of nodes helps maintain clarity and readability, allowing for quick reference and connection visualization. - **Challenges with Longer Notes** - Long notes can clutter the mind map, making it harder to read and follow. - Squinting to read detailed notes can lead to cognitive overload, negating the benefit of the visual layout. - Complex or lengthy information in nodes can cause users to lose track of connections between nodes. - **Effective Use of Mind Maps** - Keep nodes concise, using keywords, short phrases, or single sentences. - Use additional notes or external documents to provide detailed explanations, linking them to the mind map for reference. - Utilize colors, images, and symbols to differentiate and highlight key concepts without adding textual clutter. - **Balancing Detail and Clarity** - Break down complex information into simpler sub-concepts that can fit into shorter nodes. - Use hierarchical structures, with primary nodes representing main ideas and sub-nodes for detailed points. - Supplement mind maps with more detailed study notes, keeping the visual map as a summary tool. - **Conclusion** - Mind maps are most effective when nodes are concise and clear. - Overly detailed nodes can diminish the benefits of visual connections. - Balancing detail with brevity ensures the mind map remains a useful tool for mastering complex intellectual topics.

    • @djlensing
      @djlensing 2 місяці тому

      Hey, I use descriptive file names for my notes, which usually makes searching very easy. I click "cmd o" to open a note and type in a keyword that is in the name of the note or is related to the note. In Obsidian that’s usually enough to immediately find the right note. I've never actually had a problem with not being able to retrieve a note, as the search can use the entire content of the note to help me find it - unlike with the conventional, paperbased Zettelkasten. I don't use Luhmann's numbering system, which doesn't seem necessary to me in the digital version of a Zettelkasten.

    Could use an update. The process of syncing via Syncthing is not nearly as straightforward as depicted here--took me about 7 tries to get my Samsung Tab 6 synched with my laptop. Would follow the directions and fail. Uninstall Syncthing, Obsidian, reinstall, try again, fail again. Uninstall, reboot, reinstall, try again, fail again. And so on. I actually have no idea how I finally got it to work; I did move my Obsidian vault into the Syncthing Sync directory, but it still took additional rounds of uninstall, reinstall, reboot, retry, etc. before it suddenly just started working. Not a great experience.
