5 Focus Practices for Staying on Track
➡️ JOIN the FREE PKM KICKSTART COURSE: effective.ck.page/pkm-kickstart
If you're like me, you've hit some roadblocks and struggles to maintain focus in seasons of life.
The last few years have been like that for me. With thousands of things pulling at my attention, it's been rough at times.
But I've been continually working on implementing a few focus practices to help me stay on track.
1. Essentialism
2. Plan my day
3. Phone as tool
4. Write it down
5. Take a break
In this video, I discuss how I implement these five practices. Hopefully they'll be able to help you, too.

    I have installed this app and started to learn about it how to use. I am just wondering if these videos still hold good as it seems that there are lot of changes and improvement in technology. Please advise if this sequence good to go with or there are other videos should be watched first. Thanks

    It doesn't sound like you used Logseq enough to understand how it functions. Daily note is a an option but completely irrelevant if you don't want to use it. Just live off the favorites bar/recent bar or search to find notes or create a new note. Logseq is like walking into a tornado and easily being able to find an unnamed note or any piece of information you're looking for. I stopped using Obsidian when i realized it was a more frustrating version of Apple Notes. Some people's brains function that way and need structure, Logseq allows creative flow without any kind of structure if you don't want it and easily creating structure if you do. Obsidian was a nightmare to create a structure-less workflow.

    🔍 Similarities between Obsidian and Logseq: 💻 Both have desktop and mobile apps 💾 Offer paid sync services and support self-hosting sync (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) 🎨 Highly customizable with thriving developer communities 🤝 Strong note-taking and personal knowledge management communities 🔍 Differences between Obsidian and Logseq: 📚 Obsidian is closed-source, Logseq is open-source 🗒️ Obsidian is paragraph-focused, Logseq is outliner-focused 📁 Obsidian has simpler file structure, Logseq uses additional syntax 💭 Final thoughts: 🤔 Choose based on your preference for open/closed source, paragraph/outliner style, and file structure 💻 Both are great note-taking apps, try both and see which fits your needs better

    Good video! I'm a visual thinker myself and that's how I've been making notes on my iPad, i.e. by _drawing_ my own mind maps. The "problem" with Obsidian is that it of course doesn't support drawing, but what it does focus on - diagram-like maps, and giving your vault a 2d dimension, it does really well. I'm still to integrate this into my Obsidian workflow but it's definitely something I wanna do (:

    thanks, just started to follow your content, and appreciate you touching upon overlooked nuances. so overcoming overwhelming as I understood from your video is essentially separating (through separate lists) the tasks + projects that do not move the needle to those from that do, i.e. PRIORITIZE TO FOCUS. would be interesting to see your though process "moving the needle", i.e. a mental framework for prioritization itself. I've recently come across this idea watching these two guys, but I have yet to come across content that makes it obvious. ruclips.net/video/z4Ce-IKXZhM/видео.htmlsi=tE-j3aAJfHUll4_Y&t=1192 www.youtube.com/@TonyRamella/videos and absolutely agree on the mission critical importance of having a dedicated REVIEW PROCESS. plus have a simple system (Bullet Journal) for TRACKING PROGRESS on projects. thanks again for your content! and since new to your channel. these of your videos were helpful afterwards ruclips.net/video/ckvGVQPZNvA/видео.html ruclips.net/user/liveQgoKVjxd2sY?si=TG7M0oS2TixtxZ7i ruclips.net/user/liveG816ep50zYA?si=YGCeecZ3qgbntYqn
