I ditched Notion for 30 days and switched to Logseq instead. Now a disclaimer here -
I manage my entire business in Notion so of course I wasn’t going to switch business ops to Logseq for the sake of this video; this experiment was basically for my personal note taking and organization and I did learn a lot about how Logseq works.
While Notion is a very flexible platform, Logseq, just like Obsidian and Roam Research, is very much geared towards knowledge management, so it relies a lot on the network you build by interlinking networks and navigating backlinks and nodes from the graph view.
In a way, comparing Logseq to Notion isn’t actually a fair comparison because they’re really geared towards different purposes but I believe that since Notion is so flexible and people use it for so many different things - to write college notes, to manage tasks, plan for projects, collaborate with team members, and so much more, who knows if Logseq isn’t actually a great improvement to the particular way you use Notion? So let’s take a look and find out.

I'm so excited to try this app for Journal. Also, I'd love to know your thoughts on email clients like Spark, Canary Mail and in general about dealing with emails? A huge chunk of productivity deals with emails.
I find Obsidian quite difficult to use. Maybe I’m not smart enough but I have hard time linking terms and using it to study. Any advise on that??
same situation
just use what is comfortable for you!
Basically it dependa on the links u create. The networks u make. It's more for research and note taking
Obsidian is a markdown note taking app focusing on privacy and security. The data is stored in your local machine which then you could decide to backup in your favourite cloud storage, external hard drive or SSD. Just like how webpages work on markup languages similarly obsidian works on markdown language. I would suggest reading the book "The markdown guide by Matt Cone" which is 60 pages(which is concise I guess : ) ) which would be helpful for using obsidian.
You should also try capacities or anytype :) but for now, i won't change from notion either
Muito bom saber que você usa o Logseq, Mari. 🎉
I'm working on learning more about Obsidian, and how to get it personalized to me... maybe even recreate some of the Notion dashboards I've seen offered. I'm not sure if you mentioned it (and I'll probably go look into it too) but is there a reason why you tried this one instead of Obsidian? While I'm kind of locked into Obsidian (slowly personalizing it to the way I like it) I'm just curious about such a similar program.
I used all three and can tell you what the pros and cons for each, logseq and obsidian are amazing. Logseq is amazing if u like outliner and bullet journaling. But it gets laggy when you get lots of notes, the graph view isnt as good as obsidian, and its abit more clunky in certain areas. I prefer obsidian. Its like 12 months more advanced. You can use both and see how you like them. Both have steepish learning curves but id say logseq is probably more intuitive out of the box and obsidan requires more tinkering. Now i use a combination of tana, obsidian and todoist for task management. I dont use logseq as I got on the tana waitlist and decided to run with that. I just cannot find much of a usecase for notion
No longer a student but I can already see how cool this would have been for note taking in my art history courses at uni. I kept all my notes in notion and often had to just search for terms for connected topics.
Nebula sounds like it's worth taking a look at, and I will. However, with regards to your comment about UA-cam and videos of planner reviews and walkthroughs I am not sure what you mean. There are many such videos on UA-cam and seemingly more of them every day. I see no sign that UA-cam is discouraging them.
omg you have sent me a lifeline Mariana 🤯 I’ve been looking for a way to separate my admin/second brain (will continue to stay in Notion) and the whole of my own research and personal notes on 4 years of computer science. Plus on-plattform pdf reading and infinite canvas? 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Happy to help! 🥰
3:46 -- Graph View. Very cool.
Could you please do a comparison between Notion and OneNote :)
Please have a back up system because logseq randomly deletes your notes on sync
Thanks for the tip!
@@mariana-vieira oh most definitely 👍
Hello Mariana , Please share your personal experience on how good is logseq working in a ipad ? compared to macbook ?
I started using logseq 1 month back , my main device is ipad pro M1 with magickeyboard. I noticed the PDF annotation feature which you showed for logseq is not available for ipad.
I always prefer to work on my macbook although I found the ipad version quite solid
@@mariana-vieira Thank you Mariana for sharing 🙏
Need a law school video!!!!❤
Joplin for me - as an alternative to Evernote.
So Logseq is basically exactly like Obsidian. Does anyone have experience with both, which one of the two is better?
I like obsidian better because of how flexible it is with community plugins.
Logsec is free and open source
Those are always a plus imo
As she said in the beginning they aren’t the same
You can use both but if you need to outline something you are researching you can start in logseq and when you want to finalize the topic with notes you can use obsidian.
obsisidan is better voerall but especially for longer form writing and content creation, logseq is very intuitive out of the box and like a bullet journal/outliner
It’s pronounced “log-seek”. “Log” for “logbook” and “seq” for “sequence
Amazing video and content exposition! Are you brazillian?
Obrigada, Devalci! Sou portuguesa 😊
I truly wish I could get my logseq graph to look as good as yours

Nice video. Thank you

self learning tips .
Would love a comparison between Notion and Microsoft Teams 365.
Microsoft Loop, especially.
