Have you kept using this? Could you make a follow up video about its pros and cons? That would be very interesting.
I second this question. New methodology arrives so often. Being able to see what actually sticks is so much more useful than the “I just got this and love it! 5 Stars!” Reviews.
x2
I totally agree with you that lined pages restrict my thinking! I thought I was the only one too :)
💙 haha good! We’ve found each other 🤣
Side note: I also didn't like lined paper for taking notes back in the day. What I found good was using "engineering" paper (graph grid on one side) and wrote on the back (the grid sort of shows through without being obstructive); it is a soothing green color paper that lulls you into thinking all is well with your writing.
Yay for meeting another non-lined note taker Allan! I love the idea of engineering paper. I used architecture grid paper lolll I think there's something there about having the grid without it being obstructive
Muchas gracias por hacer un vídeo sobre esto!! Nunca había escuchado de un producto así y me servirá muchísimo, este es el segundo video que veo de tu canal y me encanta la estructura con la presentas la información, vas directamente a los puntos importantes pero los explicas apropiadamente. De nuevo, muchas gracias por la información😄
Very great tips! I haven't heard about this so far and it seems like a great investment as I still can't really let go of writing on paper. Thanks for sharing Vicky! :)
Haha right?! There's something about paper.. maybe it's the friction? And I definitely retain the info better. Glad you liked this Siona :D thank you for watching!
That's fantastic content. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!!!
Great videos, thank you.
thank you for watching!! :D
Thank you for another great video. Is there a benefit of doing this over using the apple notes and the iPad pencil? Thanks please keep the videos coming I love your content.
Unbelievable ! This product exist !!😮🌐💡
Definitely hear you on the graph vs lined paper. The lines always seem too close together! Grid, dot grid or blank is where it’s at! I recently discovered the channel and enjoying the content so far. Thanks!
Thanks Adam for watching and sharing this with me 🐒
ohh my gosh@@ that is what I want! can you make more videos how you use that note??
Oh WOW!! I’ve been thinking about switching to Goodnotes on the iPad for note-taking/ moving away from paper completely but I’m just not sure I’m ready to give up the feel of pen-to-paper yet and THIS seems like a great bridge. Hadn’t ever heard of this product before. Thanks Vicky! 🙌
Jaimeeeee! I'm totally the same. I never knew about this either. Had to do some Googling to get to a solution that worked for me and it's going well so far! Hope it'll work with your work flow :D Thank you for watching!!
Thank you for sharing!
Good !!!👍
Can the app add image in the paper?
I have been using digital pens for close to 15 years and really enjoyed your video. One of the aspects of this technology is the ability to sync audio work my notes. Have you tried that yet?
Yes to syncing audio!
Thanks for the video. Are you still liking the neo smart pen system after a year?
great content. keep doing
Thank you!!
Thanks for your video, do I have to write on Smart notepad? can i use any paper to dizitise notes?
You are not crazy! (Or…..maybe we both are😂!)
Lines are good for something’s like roads.
I have the Lami journal like yours with the dots and I love!
Great video, thanks for sharing. I like your accent also. Here in California, we don’t have accents😂.
Lollllll lines are good for roads, love it! 😂 I gotta move to California … haha nice to see you on this vid too!
Do you have a session explaining how you transfer your notes into Obsidian from the smart pen?
Thanks for this video. Trying to get this new Neo Smartpen N2 going. Don't want to lean on you for support, of course, but what is their current status on support...or they latest you saw? They seem to have fizzled somewhat. The products seem abandoned. Do you know of a community of users that are getting by the best they can amid the dust of an abandoned company...that seems to have product sales on autopilot until the last of the inventory is gone? Thanks!
Very interested in the things you are doing...and will certainly watch more!
Hi! Do u know the difference of the M1+ and the Lamy version? Thank you
Good god 😳 amazing
🙈 thanks for watching George!!
I can’t write on lines anymore either. As soon as I experienced dot notes, my mind felt free. 😊
Hi Vicky, thank you for your videos on Obsidian and on methods to organise knowledge. QUESTION: have you considered using the app "Good Notes 6" with you iPad? I am considering to go with that option for taking manual handwriting digital notes, transcribe them with that App and from there (Good Notes 6) I would transfer my them (somehow?) to Obsidian to distilate and interrelate them for study and future references. If you have an opinion on this approach, please let me know. Thank you very much! 🙂(from Madrid, Spain)
Hi Vicky! Because of your videos, I'm interested in learning more mental models and frameworks. 😀 What further readings and learning resources do you suggest?
Heyyyy!! You can always start with Shane Parrish and his blog Farnam Street! Lots of models listed there (and in book format) though it can be hard to use at times because it remains somewhat abstract. I would also get Poor Charlie's Almanack if you want to read the models OG Charles Munger use. The way Munger talks about the models can be more cryptic because he want to encourage thinking for yourself, but because of that, you end up making a lot of unexpected connections. Otherwise, I'm also creating a beta database of Money Models, based off of successful people and their mental models. It's still in the works, but if you're interested I can include you in the beta group for feedback :D
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP I'll check those out. Btw your project seems interesting to me! I think it's a nice thing to contribute while learning so I'd love to join the beta group :)
@@kaitoukid1088 Okay, I'll reply to this comment again when the beta portal is ready!
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP I'm excited, thanks!
Just want to confirm - does the app/device need to be open and visible while you're writing? Or can you just take the pen/pad and make your notes and then come back and sync them later?
I’m an old school note taker too, how did you know? Maybe this will be my Xmas present for myself. Invest in yourself first right? Great tips, thank you Vicky!
Yay team old school notetakers! Invest in yourself 100% haha. So glad you liked this, let me know how you go with it!
I love dotted paper; lined feels too restrictive.
Yeeeesss! Agreed
i would love an update. do you still use it?
Does the iPad/tablet have to be on when you are writing? Or can you handwrite your notes and turn on the iPad/tablet later to digitize them?
Great question Shai! The ipad/tablet doesn't have to be on when you're writing! You can do it later. Just turn on the app and sync your pen, then you can digitize after the fact!
For anyone who doesn't have an ipad but wants to do a similar method to this I'd recommend the ReMarkable tablet :)
How are you enjoying ReMarkable?
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP Yeah it's been good! I like how the screen doesn't have light/glare, similar to a kindle so it's easier on the eyes. Just wish it supported more file formats and had colour but besides that has been really good whether wanna annotate a textbook/doc on it or write your own thing and can replace you from needing any physical notebooks :)
How accurate is the transcribing of your handwriting to digital form when you hit 'transcribe'?
Depends on how neat the handwriting is haha. It’s maybe 80-90% accurate with my handwriting which is somewhat messy
You’re not crazy.. I don’t like lines on my paper too. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the idea with the pen. I don’t like to write with the apple pen on the iPad
I will try it your way
Hahaha so glad I’m no crazy 😝 please let me know how you like the change!
Another idea might be to get a document scanner that's attached to your computer that you can use to easily take photos of your notebook.
Thanks for the video! It's very informative. It's been almost 6 months since you posted this video. I'm curious if you still use the smart pen and notebooks?
Yes!! I still use it! But the journal is questionable 🤨 lol
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP that's great to know! You mean you still use the notebook and mini pad, but not the calendar journal?
Also, perhaps you can show us how you use the smart pen, smart notebook, mini pad, Obsidian for Zettekasten!
@@cyan002000 Yes! I still use the calendar journal too but it's not as good as I thought it'd be so I don't think I'll get it for 2023
I have the same sensation. Striped paper makes me feel more restricted. I use blank paper.
haha yes i can't with lined paper anymore, my choice goes to the blank basic ones!
Does Lamy/NEO provide downloadable PDFs of the dot-paper? The Livescribe digital pens had the dot-paper available as downloads. It worked great if you had a good enough printer.
They used to have dotted paper but no longer support them 🥲
Neolab have the printable paper on their website
Thanks for sharing. That is fine but too many gadgets for my little brain, I'd love to have something like matepad paper but it just came to market and it's too much expensive, maybe Amazon could imitate Huawey.
Fair enough, great tools are out there, just have to find the one that works for our own styles and budget
2:29 me too, you are not crazy.
Yayyyyy!! Haha thank you for confirming my sanity lol 😂
Aphold withov adv..
Is that notebook reusable?
The notebooks aren't reusable - the ink from the pen is like any normal pen! But I know Rocketbook is reusable if you're looking for that function!
I use printer paper because it's white without lines... lines limit me tremendously 😅
I also hate lines!!
I prefer lined. If I write on blank paper, I end up writing it slanted as in up and down. Lol
Hahaha you should see my crazy handwriting 🤣
May I ask...why not using an app like good notes and skip the physical notebook, capturing everything handwritten directly in the mobile device?
Why not just use an ipad with a notes application, where you can just take your notes directly on there (and not waste paper and money)
Waste time + paper 📄
i don't believe the special paper is required to make this technology possible lmao that's some HP printer ink tier scam
other than that cool idea though. I wish there was one that automatically turns your handwritten text into editable text as if written with a keyboard. That way you get best of both words when writing down something that you want to memorize and edit or use
Completely useless gadget... Just use apple pencil instead of this "combo" or make FREE photo with Ipad of your written paper notes to digitize it
I came upon this product today! I’ve been having problems searching on my traditionally written notes that it takes a long time for me to be able to find the what I am looking for. And sometimes I get restless when I don’t find them . 🥲 The traditional method is not specifically helpful when there’s an upcoming exam as I don’t have the luxury to search.
I was wondering if the transcripts are done and saved automatically?
