    The "unsubscribe" filter - GENIUS! For years, I have struggled to keep my email clean - which means trying to unsubscribe from a group of emails every few months. This is a great idea.

      After all everything in live is about balance, you shouldn't make the calendar run your life, but use it as a tool to help you.

    My life is so simple that I do not need a calendar. A simple reminder or an alarm clock is sufficient. My life consists of five days of studying at school and two days of studying/resting at home with no surprises and off-the-schedule activities. Since I am a Ph.D. candidate, other than reading papers and doing experiments, and trying to write papers of my own, I have no course need to attend to. I have very few emails, less than five per day. And four of them are most likely ads.

These days we have too many passwords to manage, also with the cyber security issues these days, it is so hard to keep coming up of effective passwords while keep them all safe at the same time. If you could suggest on a good way to come up and manage them, that would be appreciated!

      I think that's where he just mentioned he uses Roam but he has changed to Obsidian. He doesn't elaborate the dumbelodore step. The whole reason I clicked on his video was Obisidian because it's just so cool but I don't know where I could use it.

    1st person ive ever listened to that I didnt have to increase the playback speed! Also the kindle app can become an audio book also through the spoken content feature of the iphone etc. This enables you to still be able to highlight and save highlights/ notes (all the features of the kindle book) plus the added feature of audio listening as audible doesn't allow this and the spoken content feature is embedded so its free with tons of different narration options.

      Looks like a steep learning curve. Can you validate that statement?

    • @Chase_Crawford
      @Chase_Crawford 2 роки тому +3

      I can understand why it seems that way but it's not that simple. The basic note taking functions of Obsidian are extremely simple and easy to use. The only learning curve would be learning markdown syntax instead of clicking a button on a menu to add formatting.
      The only other learning curve would only be necessary if you want to get more out of the app. If you want database-like functionalility and other features there are many community plugins that are well-supported and very powerful. These are not required though and you can learn them as you need them.
      Hope this answered your questions!

      That is pretty cool though, he said second brain and obsidian actually advertise themselves as second brain, and for good reason too. Lol XD

    the problem with being productive is how to make it fun and rewarding . and let your brain know it was fun and rewarding . . I tend to get boring easily and keep exploring new productivity methods and how to reward myself effectively.. at the end .. its all about how you decide, pick and explore which method really suitable for your ownself ..
    stay productivity.

      Add default notifications on your calendar appointments and the calendar will tell you when stuff is. If you find yourself ignoring the appointments then I would advise you to say, "yes," less often.

    I think the grouping into type 1,2,3 and then renaming it to Ron,Hermione,Dumbledore was one step too much. I guess if the intention was to make the process fun/memorable could have named them by those HP names at the start. Just a little suggestion. Might even help with memorability for viewers.
