Why Roam Research changes the way you think

[@miridianmeida9405]

This video is brilliant. I really like how authentic you are. As a dyslexic person who has found roam and been amazed by it's game-changing ability, I found this video really useful to see how your structure works for you, and I think it will inform mine too. Thanks for this and keep up the good work

[@Flywith-Nico]

Very excited, trying this out. I installed it yesterday and have been linking and adding notes.

[@NishanthaU]

Oh nice! What are your first impressions?

[@Flywith-Nico]

How To Dyslexia I like the simplicity, it was a little stressful figuring out exactly a good way to have basic templates etc. but I finally figured out a system. Some parts of it still confuse me a bit, like the difference between a # and linking to a page. But I think I’m starting to get the hang of it.

Awesome video

[@braianpita6385]

Hey, cool video! I recommend you to check out obsidian.md, which is a more recent app that works similar to roam but is totally free. It is newer so it still needs some improvements. It differs because it is a local application that works offline, is based in markdown, and the files are locally stored in plain text. It is not for everyone but I love it and it allows me to save my files both locally and on google cloud.

[@NishanthaU]

I saw a couple videos about obsidian seems very interesting, I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@paulm2215]

Thanks for the video. I like the format, but the background music is really distracting. Look forward to more content in the future. Thanks again.

[@NishanthaU]

Thanks for the valuable feedback.

How you use analogies is so familiar to me. I use analogies to understand everything. If I can’t make an analogy, I have a hard time understanding...

[@NishanthaU]

Yes! For sure! I try to make analogies in school when I'm teaching, it seems to be one the best ways to connect ideas together when explaining something. I think us Dyslexics seem to have an edge when doing this. Are you using Roam Research?

[@RyB717]

Nishantha : How To Dyslexia I downloaded it! I’ll be diving into it more this weekend. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@lexiedavison1545]

As someone that did a lot of arty subject at school I would do a lot of my idea taking on paper and I now found it hard to do it on a computer, I feel like it stops my creative flow. Do you have any tips for note taking

[@Mister.U]

have you every tried Sketch noting or Visual note-taking? If you'r a creative and have knack for drawing you should try it, I'm sure you'r already doing it. I made a video on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJmmh5pjnNODirs

Nice video 👌 sir

Thanks and welcome

Can you tell me please I'm I the only person with Dyslexia that still doesn't no my purpose or talents I'm now 40 and stil don't no what I would love to do. I work hard doing gardening building work but I no its not what I want to do.. I'm a single full time dad so can only work 30 hour per week in the 🇬🇧 UK people say remember what you loved doing when you was a kid problem is I don't remember. As I here people with Dyslexia are good at art and design I'm not good at any of that please help

[@NishanthaU]

This is big topic, I think I'm goint to make video about it, because its something alot of people struggle with, including myself.

[@videomanproductions]

as a person with dyslexia, I have had very very different careers, from pastor, gold researcher, private investigator, sewage truck driver, musician, etc. im 57 years old now sooo still searching LOL. we have many talents, and yes its a challenge to nail down your purpose.

[@NishanthaU]

@@videomanproductions Gold Researcher? Wow! That sounds really cool! What did that entail?

[@videomanproductions]

@@NishanthaU A process technologist in gold is someone that essays dirt, measure how much gold is in the dirt. we had samples sent from all over the world and we would advise clients if it was worth setting up a expensive dig or not based on the amount of gold detected in our testing. It was hard work. now I do some prospecting as a hobby when I can-this has failed to make me money at this point but standing in a river sluicing gives me peace which is worth something by itself. last thing I need to tell you is being self employed really seems to fit with Dyslexia for many reasons, I had my own video production company for 25 years and I was the most happy/content doing my own thing. I had a passion for it and clients could tell. I never had to advertise much after I got rolling. Something about doing things in your own way could can be very freeing after school and collage told me I show go dig ditches for a living. I had to prove them wrong, and I did. When I was a pastor, my dyslexia gave me "super powers" to feel peoples needs and hurts. It helped me to never work from a position of power but to be relational with people walking beside them in there struggles. remember , by definition, dyslexia is a person of average to above average intelligence that has a specific neurological deficit. so - smart person with a specific challenge, in my case memory. thank God for computers and spell check. my two cents, thanks-Dave (formerly Videoman!)

[@NishanthaU]

Thats awesome! Thanks for the sharing that. It's really encourging to hear your prespective about how dyslexia has helped you in all of carreers over the years. Theres something about video production that works well the dyslexic mind, I also have a love for it and know many other dysleixc prodcers.

[@vzjude4499]

Can you give some tips how to remember spelling words

[@NishanthaU]

I struggle with this also, sounds like a great concept for a video, I’ll make one for you in the near future.

[@No_Free_Lunch_Today]

If I may give some feedback, the sound effects around 3 minute 20 were just a little bit too loud and distracted from your commentary. First content found of yours, very informative . Now, i'm off to check out more of your video's 👍

[@NishanthaU]

Oh man! My bad, still learning :) That was the part I worked on the hardest on this edit, lol. Awe well you live and you learn. Thanks for your valuble feedback, its comments like these that will help take the quality to next level. Appriate you taking the time to saysomething.

[@vishalvishu8545]

Sir. For dyslexic people how can preparation for TOEFL exam or any exam ?

[@NishanthaU]

Best method to prepare for tests is to use a spaced repttion program, there are a ton out there. I recomend anki. What are you doing right now to prepare for it?

[@vishalvishu8545]

It looks like the algorithm based typing program is keybr dot com instead of keyber.

Thanks for catching that! Appreciate it! Have you tried it? I what’s your to speed? I hit 108 last week, I was in the zone lol.

[@DrewHerrema]

@@NishanthaU I have been on for 46 minutes so far. I started at 19.8wpm and now at 31.9wpm with a learning rate of 15.9 wpm/hour. And 10.4wpm with Dvorak. (not enough data yet.)

[@NishanthaU]

Sweet! Dvorak is legit, respect to you for learning it.

[@Stormbrise]

It would be way better if it had auto correct.

[@NishanthaU]

For sure!

[@NishanthaU]

It’s still great for what I use it for.

[@Stormbrise]

I think it is great also, there is also obsidian, it’s free stored locally on your hard disk developing just as fast as roam and considering all the bugs I’m encountering in roam I’m going to give it a shot sourcing the next article I read for my thesis
