I’ve been journaling my daily work using Logseq for the past year or so. It has transformed how I work. It’s a log of the little wins I’ve tackled, notes on what was the route to success, and links to where the solution is, whether that is a Confluence doc, a PR on GitHub.
It is also a “memorium pool”, I no longer have to stress about remembering things. It has a powerful note linking mechanism that is automatic, I can find related notes easily and visualise how they are related to each other.
If something comes up during the day, I can tag it as /TODO and it will add that note on a calendar view so I can quickly glance if I have things I need to take care next week.
Give it a go. Remind yourself you win every day. Remind yourself that things do take time. Remind yourself that what you do today matters.
This post is not sponsored. It’s just me grateful for open-source. Want start your journaling today? Go here: https://logseq.com/
I'm working with my notes (#Zettelkasten) for ~15 years. There's a ton of crap inside, but there's so much good stuff that I can use it to work on new thoughts. It's great.
But since I'm using this tool to do my real job better, I'm also not publishing a lot on the meta-level.
Progress on all things "Zettelkasten", the method, is slow, because using the method and the tools I build doesn't leave much time.
Die Situation um mein »zweites Gehirn« spitzt sich noch schlimmer zu, als ich gestern befürchtet hatte. Denn nicht nur, daß Logseq mit seinen Datenbankträumen meiner Nutzung im Wege steht, auch das als Alternative angedachte Zettlr fällt offensichtlich flach. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2024050501_zettlr_catalina/#Zettlr#Catalin#Zettelkasten
Last year I tried Obsidian and concluded it was more than I needed. Bear.app was just fine for me.
For the past week I’ve been revisiting Obsidian because I wanted something that would let me build a Zettelkasten note-taking system. Having experimented and learned with a physical slip box, I know what I want from an app.
With an Obsidian-Zettelkasten pair, I get that next level of knowledge management I want, and the power and flexibility to make it my own.
Hey #PKM people, as it seems fashionable here to humblebrag by posting screenshots of graphs: What exactly are the benefits of a graph view? Aren't bi-directional links just simpler and thus more effective?
Here’s a version of the timeline of some of the intellectual history I presented today at the #PKMSummit in Utrecht. I’m happy to answer any questions, or if you’re impatient, you can also search my online digital repository of notes for any of the people or topics I mentioned.

Sascha's latest post about actual deep work with the Zettelkasten, and how you can find out whether you are operating on surface level solutions while the actual problem lie in the ways you process ideas and tackle problems.
anyone else feel that when you're creating cards from a book, you're essentially just reverse-engineering the diligent work of the author? #zettelkasten#notetaking
In her book, The Extended Mind, Annie Murphy Paul says:
“We extend beyond our limits, not by revving our brains like a machine or bulking them up like a muscle — but by strewing our world with rich materials, and by weaving them into our thoughts.”
I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it! :ablobattention:
Do you also use #orgRoam ?
This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters :abloblamp:
