Only a personal stroke made me start journaling again. Since then I do it EVERY day and have collected these 8 big learnings that can also help you in any situation. Day 3, Essay 110: #ship30for30

I think I need to test the new Bases options in Obsidian. It looks really magic.
@obsdmdjust released Bases. It's insane. Is it a Notion Killer? (Offline, Local, Fast) I'm doing wild things with them. I've set up a view where any active note I am in with dynamically show me all related links. And not just in a zero-context list, but in three-dimensional detail. It's helping me write the best book possible. I mean, look at how it's powering my HUGE writing effort on the Linking Your Thinking book (ETA Spring 2027)

Ich frage mich, wer dann überhaupt auflaufen würde… 😂
Nächste Woche einfach die aufstellen, die mit in Liga 2 gehen. Der Rest kann zuhause bleiben. Am 14.06 die Hauptverantwortlichen für den Abstieg abwählen. #meinVfL

I really like the speed of the Notes app from Apple. Today I made the first experience with a pencil and syncing between different devices. Great tips so far.
Notes App is the most powerful Apple software worldwide. But almost everyone's still stuck in beginner mode. Here're 11 unbelievable things your Notes app can do:

I have just tried the new web clipper from Obsidian. And I have to say, it's really cool. However, I don't want to go back to the old Evernote mindset with my clippings... 😀
Obsidian Web Clipper walkthrough @Marco_Mindstone demonstrates installing and using the Obsidian Web Clipper. I have to say, this clipper is well done and goes beyond what we see from other clippers. Plus it integrates with Obsidian. youtu.be/Kesi8sp2x7M

After working the first day again today, I had a mega experience... I got back on my bike and rode to work. Due to the time change, it was almost dark on the way back.

But with the light in the forest, I focused completely on the next 3-5 meters and didn't have much of a view ahead. This made the last gradient a piece of cake. I had the same experience during hiking last week. If I only focused on the next 1-2 steps, I was able to switch off.

I love to wake up in the mountains and go hiking every day. It looks good to make another trip today. Have a good start into the day. 🗻

So true. Stay with your existing tool and use it a long time. The problem is to close your eyes when you see the new shiny tools around you…

Today I had to give an on-site presentation to 10 managers at my company. And what can I say, once again my head played the biggest trick on me beforehand. Because my performance was better than I expected... 😁 Never believe what your head wants to tell you before!

For me it’s a combination of digital journaling in Obsidian and my 5-Year-Book. What works for you?
Remember, there's no 'right way' to journal ✅❌. The best method is the one that works for you 🎨. Experiment and find your flow! 🌊✍️ #Journal #Journaling #Obsidian #PKM #TfT tfthacker.com/jco

Just been busy with Obsidian mobile for an hour and I have to say, it works quite well. Nevertheless, I am also curious about the innovations. What’s your experience?

I think I need to test this concept.
Here's my favorite writing hack: Learn to think in "lists." Any time I come up with a single idea, I immediately think about how it might be the first item in a longer collection. For example, "learn to think in lists" is the first item in a list of my favorite writing hacks.

Before I open my laptop, I have made it a habit to pick up my bullet journal and check what I have planned. This allows me to start "mindful" and focused. Do you have a special habit for your start?

Obsidian found me, even though I was working towards it... What is your note-taking tool of choice?

I realized once again that I need a relatively simple note-taking setup and folder structure. I'll try PARA again in Obsidian and see how my vault develops over time.

It's actually quite simple: the more I work with my note-taking tool and my own memories, the better my notes become. Try it out, instead of just capturing and clipping everything into your system...

Do you know that feeling when you suddenly have completely different ideas without a screen in front of your eyes?

Get out of your head and into your body. Today I went for a walk in the forest in a moderate mood and without any distractions. I have to say, it was a really wonderful feeling and it completely changed my mood. What is your insider tip?

Do you still google or do you also use ChatGPT more often? I am thrilled with the results I get from AI on a daily basis.

A few years ago, I got to know the PARA productivity system from @fortelabs. It always worked well in Evernote, so why did I throw it overboard? Yes, I tried to integrate journaling entries and it didn't work well...
