My 4 types of Logseq Notes

[@Word-h8q]

Great intro, high level overview to Logseq and a practical hands on approach for someone brand new to the concept of not hierarchical note taking such as myself. You have a gift for making info approachable and easy to assimilate. Keep it up!👍

Thanks for the kind words, that's always great to hear!

Your thoughts about the "reference notes" are very true!

I look forward to inheritance vs composition being a debate about PKMS tags as well as about programming design.

[@toolsontech]

On the money here, though the irony isn't lost on me. Was my first thought when I was messing with this was inheritance since I'm most familiar with that. Though as an operations guy I don't mess with that level of programming as much as when I did in the beginning of my career. But since you can manually pick and mix properties that will become a beast on it's own. Might already be like that a bit on the discord :D

Very interesting video. Always great to think on the "meta". I use reference and tags for a while (at the beginning with Evernote). I'm using Journal since I use Logseq and I'm just beginning to see how powerful could be Research thanks to Logseq again and the power of the sidebar and the "bloc integration". Thanks for sharing all this.

[@toolsontech]

This is why I would love a meetup again, talking about the "meta" is always fun.

You are incredible - how do you have only 7 thousand subs. Keep at it

[@toolsontech]

Probably because I don't have the time/energy to do a weekly video. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

[@JanMet]

@@toolsontech You are doing amazing things! Keep going!

This was quite useful! Those match the types of notes I use... except for what you call reference, which I don't use much, and as you point out, I should probably be using more for some things. Looking for a specific key info in a (not very ordered) list of mentions isn't great. Just a quick embed in the page itself can go a long way 👍

My journal notes are always collected in the categories personal or internal/general work related, or customer related and therefore collected per customer. I need to justify all my decisions so research notes are typically used. Reference notes is something I have almost no time for making. These notes appear in my Logseq as I go, and they end up moving around a lot until they are where I'm most likely to see them when I need them.

[@toolsontech]

That was one of my issues and the main reason I started splitting this up mentally. Reference notes are notes that I know I need to make time for and all other notes can float around with the main goal showing up when needed. In the end, the only way productivity (both tasks and notes) can be efficient is to have heavy triage up front.

Will you read the book "The system for writing" which very clearly explains how to build a zettelkasten?

[@toolsontech]

Adding it to the list, it only seems available on kindle but that's not a major issue on my boox

[@gorr_av]

What about tasks? Isn't it a type of note?

[@eldelacajita]

Fair point!

[@toolsontech]

It's definitely a fair point, I opted not to talk about tasks because while a type of note, it's also a thing on its own where I could make a similar video. Think, reminders, work items, projects. I scratched it a bit mentioning I used TODO with the idea tag.

[@paulfelt8440]

Lost me. Far too much talking and explaining theory. Logseq reputation is simplicity - unless this understanding is false - thus, I am looking for simple example approachs without having through verbage.

[@toolsontech]

To be fair this video was quite theory heavy, I do want to do a new quick "getting started" video but like many people I'm on hold a bit due to the major changes they are working on.
