Not gonna lie the thumbnail of Obsidian being crossing out triggered me to click the vid.
Why was obsidian crossed out?
@@brianstronginjapan Because Tiago doesn't use Obsidian. It wasn't spoken about but I assume it was a thumbnail 'tactic' 😆
@@DannyHatcherTech Ugh.
Same. I expected discussion of why he doesn’t use Obsidian. It’s weird to call that out without a single word about it. Why not an X through the todoist logo? Pocket? Every other productivity app in existence?
I just watch this video because of the thumbnail with obsidian crossed out. I really felt disappointed. I wish l had heard talk about the new PKM apps like Obsidian and others
*Such an honour to be chatting in-person with Tiago*
Really hope every enjoys this as much as I enjoyed chatting and bantering! :)

I agree with Tiago, it's often not the tools but YOU (the person) as the cause for something not working. I use Apple Reminders right now and it's productive for me because I have built a process around using a task management app. I could replace it with any app and I would probably be the same. The productivity is in my process, not the app.
Tiago is my indirect mentor for information management. Just a great guy . . .
"It's a 2010 stack" I felt that in my core. It just works and it's reliable. I really tried using Notion and more then one time and it didn't work. I go for simplicity.
I’ve purchased the Audible version of Tiago’s book. Looking forward to listening to it.
Was thinking about getting the audible version as well. Does it come with any companion PDF for visuals?
@@peetung No, as far as I am aware. Just the narrated book on the Audible subscription. 7hrs long. I find it easier to listen and work at same time. I might not always pick up a book or ebook and complete it 100%.
Great interview! A little suggestion,next time use a less sepia LUT it is a bit washed out but it's visible your constant evolution in production.congrats
We noticed afterwards. Sorry Daniel, we’ll sort for the next time.
The Tone of the video matches the selection of apps. I am a fan of Tiago’s work and already bought the audio book buy have a whole set of modern set of apps that I implement Tiago’s processes
I love Tiago, but he's using what I call "The Boomer Stack" here 😂
what does this even mean???? 😂
COMMENTS EVOLVING AS I WACH:
- OMG!! I Really don't like the sepia tone of the vid 🤯 (still watching the rest, but had to let it go in the comments).
- Oh yeah! Things, Tiago. You mention speed and is the first time I hear someone bringing it on as a TOP feature (besides me), and that's its huge strength, IMO.
- The NO hammer: that should become a book's name.
Great interview, Francesco!
Great video, but I found the vintage tone super hard to watch - I felt like I was watching something slightly out of focus.
That colour-grading isn’t ideal.
Why does the video look so yellow
Instapaper is like your private newspaper ehich your read when you have free time, where you are your own newspaper editor.
Why the warm & vintage colour grading tho?
represents the dying channel
Great to see Tiago in this channel again
Tiago Forte which app is used to SpaceX management?
That moment when you just finish making Obsidian your second brain and learn that Tiago uses Notion.
Do what works for you and try not to change too much. Changing systems is the time suck!
I have been on Evernote for more than 10 years. - So how detoxication is going?
This is great! I was wondering about Tiago using both Instapaper to catch all the read/audio stuff but also Evernote? I thought Evernote was the catch all?
I'm also confused. What is the flow? Capture to Instapaper .. then send to Evernote .. then eventually organize in Notion?? ... but also incorporate into Clickup? This is why my head spins with all of it.
Evernote is for personal notes (insights, meeting notes, journaling, etc) instapaper is for things to read later (videos, articles, etc)
He answered this question in the first video of the series on how he organizes email: Instapaper is the dump for things to read/watch initially; Evernote is for reference materials where he puts things he already read. He's careful to not put stuff into Evernote that hasn't been read first.
Can we receive time stamps for this video?
10:30 după ce îți faci ordine în taskuri nu te duci la emailuri sau communications și te apuci să faci treabă pe care ai considerat că ești cel mai importantă nu nu ce îți spun alții sau cum trag alții de tine
elefantul din cameră cum îți protejezi timpul și îți organizezi tu timpul și nu lași pe alții organizeze
Excellent chat Francesco!! great job!

Honestly, while I get that execution is more important than the apps, I am underwhelmed with the list, other than maybe Notion (which I do not use); the list seems likes 2018. Wow, I wrote this abut did not click "Comment" to post, and they referenced 2012 - probably more accurate. And to be fair, people who use paper can be more productive ad reliable than the latest and greatest.
The only problem with Things 3 is it is not on windows yet
I used Evernote for 12 years. I had to leave about a year ago when the app was no longer native and it became this laggy, buggy machine. The friction of loading Evernote for even 5 seconds was too much to make it worth it.
i'm a bit confused, so Tiago uses Evernote so... what are the advantages to use other software to capture articles as Instapaper over the evernote webclip? Thanks
Different levels of quality.
Personally, I capture in Instapaper whatever piece of content I'm interested in and that I'm not able to read at that time. I don't commit to it. That doesn't mean I will ever read it. But it's there. It's like a newspaper on steroids, because every piece of content fits my specific interests.
Then I send my highlights from Instapaper to Evernote. Evernote is for the very very best things I've already read and that I want to keep for references.
@SassySam I used to use Notion a lot for a few years. But not so much anymore.
You can do pretty much everything and it's a joy to use.
But because it's so flexible, I found myself playing with it (designing and improving pages / databases all the time) and not making sufficient progress in my day-to-day work.
The best apps for me are the ones that are frictionless, even if they have limitations (and even if it's frustrating sometimes). Notion is the opposite to me.
Hi Pedro, the idea is to put a "buffer" between your second brain note-taking app and the web. This friction doesn't need to be hard but you want to be ultra-selective and adopt a "curator" behavior about what enter your note-taking app.
"Read-later" is better away from the "execution" room.
It also give a second time to guess "why did I capture this ?" "For what ?" Etc...
For some people it's even better to add friction on the capture part of the creative process.
Saving to Evernote on a mobile device is not the same as desktop and Instapaper works with Kindle, not everyone likes to read articles on the desktop of Evernote and the Evernote mobile app is still far from perfect. I find Evernote on mobile a bit slow to load, despite having good internet. How often are you finding articles on your desktop vs. mobile device (including ereader)?
Instapaper is like taking a photo on your phone, its in the moment, works reliably, but when time goes by and after reviewing the content we often end up deleting selfies we took in the moment, or storing them in a more secure space to prevent loss. Articles we save to Instapaper is like our photo gallery on our phone. We save the images/articles that are meaningful to us and discard the rest.
although the video it self is pretty ok, I had to downvoted because of thumbnail clickbait.
Shame. We didn't realise this would annoy people - we're sorry! :/
@@toolfinderhq One of the reasons that I clicked on the video , was to check why Tiago would have chosen not to use Obsidian. It is one of the most well know apps in the communicate of the second brainers. It has grown a lot in popularity. So actually getting feedback from someone why they do not use it, might be really useful for someone's workflow.
The thumbnail kind of indicates this would be part of the conversation . Otherwise the video was pretty good as one would expect from the channel. :)
@@John7No thank you for your comment - I also wanted to watch it due to that reason
So Merlin Mann the "creator" of inbox Zero has basicly turned away from it and said its not the best system at all and should not be used. What do you guys think about that? How do you counter his points.
Wow, I’d love to hear more about that. I think good on him for that - it would be hard to do that as might ruin credibility, but love to hear why!!
I want to know what that article is that inspired them people to create superhuman
elon musk is looking a bit different here
🕊
WOW! he collaborated with Elon Musk
A second brain 🧠. One, two or event hundred brains, this not the point. The point is how efficient and effective that would. Knowlege management has always been a good topic that helps individuals and organizations. A second brain is catchy title but it is all about how you store and manager knowledge. Then your single brain does the analysis.
Here is my transcript notes of the video:
00:00
hello everyone and welcome to the keep productive youtube channel i'm very lucky to have thiago forte it's like been ages since uh we've been uh some talking online and things like that and
00:17
um we're gonna talk a little bit about the apps and workflows that you use so welcome and uh and then tell us a little bit more about the new book that's coming out very soon yeah yeah it's
00:28
great to be here i'm a long time fan so it feels very uh very gratifying to be here with you um it's a four year long project that i've been working on to just get everything
00:38
that i know about knowledge management and digital notetaking and put it into a book that you'll be able to buy on any uh online retailer most bookstores paperback hardcover audiobook it's really everything that i know about
00:52
how to build a second brand it's gonna be so weird like going into there's like a uk store called waterstones going into waterstones and seeing it be there i know right it's gonna be insane
01:03
i'll be like i know that guy i know we're going mainstream we're going from the you know the weird niches of the internet to the to the bookstores it's good though and thiago's also doing a lot on youtube so he's got a video we're
01:16
doing collaborations as well today so i'll be over on his channel doing some fun stuff yeah um but we're going to talk about a little bit of the way that you use apps because obviously we talk a lot about apps on this channel
01:28
and i think like from your experience um especially with second brain and and having that knowledge i think it's nice to see inside like how you tend to organize yourself even if it's like an
01:41
opportunity for people to cherry-pick some nice stuff so um how do you take your notes i think that's a good starting point yeah sure so uh i've been on evernote for 10 years
01:55
april 6th 2020 2022 was the 10-year anniversary of my evernote usage i've used it continuously that entire time wow i've used evernote for a long time it's just the easiest default place
02:08
without having to make a bunch of decisions without having to decide where it goes that i can just route i mean virtually all kinds of information in my life from quotes to excerpts from
02:19
books or articles excerpts from podcasts uh research that i do online bookmarks web clips random ideas it all goes one place which is there lovely and so
02:32
how do you blend notion into that as well like what's that stage look like for you yeah so to me notion [Music] is getting information and kind of taking it a step
02:42
further right evernote excels at capture right that initial just getting it into digital form right and that is an important job like until it's captured in some form you can't do anything else the thing with notion is it takes more
02:56
work it just takes more it takes me putting on my designer hat i have to start making decisions like what do i want the icon to be in the little profile pic thing yeah what do i want the cover image to be what are the what
03:06
are the sections what are the columns what are the database whatever and so i'm i'm picky and i wait until i know how i'm going to use information to usually what happens is i get it from evernote and just put it into notion
03:18
where i can create all those things fantastic and in terms of we've talked about it we actually did a segment on it a while ago use things free for your tasks yes um how do you use it and i guess why do you
03:32
use it above say another app i just love the same thing i've been using things probably for a decade i just love that it doesn't change they're not constantly trying to force new fancy features on me that aren't
03:44
ready that are in beta uh they're very stable the fastest app never has bugs never hangs you never see the wheel of death it is like a hammer like you just expect a hammer to work in exactly the same way each time that's
03:58
what things is for me fantastic yeah it's uh it's one of those apps that's like so beautifully built yeah it's like minimal perfection yes um and and calendar like what made you go with busy cow
