When writing prompts, a good question to ask yourself is: "if I gave this prompt to a college-level intern I just hired, will he/she be able to complete the task based on the instruction and information provided?" If the answer is no, re-write your prompt until you get a "yes".

@evielync If you haven't, check out @evielync 's "How to build a Zettelkasten system in @RoamResearch ." I've watched it multiple times and it's quite brilliant! Also love seeing bits of Ev's SparkNotes, eg. "Do not optimize too early." That's spot on 🌟

My surprising #1 takeaway from @RoamBookClub ’s special guest: “Follow your obsession.” - @sivers It pairs well w/ @naval ’s advice to “do what feels like play to you but looks like work to others.” Compare to passion, I’ve always found obsession to be the stronger signal.

Working 12h days while churning through David Allen's content and modifying my system in Roam. Learning how GTD is about making space, decreasing drag and trusting the system so your brain doesn't have to be your crappy office. Inbox 0 day 2. 🤯 Current pain point: task mgmt.

Really enjoying the process of “solving the problem for myself and scaling the solution to others”. It’s been quite amazing to have an engaging tribe/community through @RoamBookClub where each of us got to share the puzzle pieces we found and all grow smarter together.

@JessicaShieh @RoamBookClub @rjnestor The biggest surprise was seeing your variant of the GTD framework which is tailor made for people in the IT/start-up world. Can't wait to implement it in my system!

Geez, did not expect this TwitterSpace to end with @moismai 's freestyoe rap (learning recap) and the audience doing the digital version of "holding the lighters up in the air" as Mo does his thing 😂 Amazing TwitterSpace conversation @theChrisDo @LcswNidhi - I'm hooked.

TL;DWatch 1. Block search (ctrl + shift + 9) 2. Comment (🖱hover + ctrl, then🖱click the "+") 3. Show unread ref blocks {{x-unread}} 1. is useful at the individual level; 2.3. powerful for shared graphs. Watch the recording if you can. The demo brings the ideas to life.

A lot of people complained about how quiet we went in 2021. Fair complaint. A lot of work was R&D, most was focused on using Roam for collaboration, almost none of it was announced! Here's a 20 min video of some of the secret features we use regularly.

Common time frames for #GTD from @gtdguy : "2 minutes to understand the concepts; 2 days to get yourself set up; ...and 2 years for it to become a habit/second nature." The learning process feels so slow, but a good system compounds value & pays dividends long-term. Patience.

Julian Shapiro ( @Julian ) wrote one of my favorite essays on how to generate good ideas -"The Creative Faucet"- it got over 13k likes and 3k re/quoted tweets. In his new handbook "Writing Well", Julian revealed his writing secret: dopamine hits. A thread.

@visualizevalue So true - humans are pattern seekers. On the positive side - we create wonderful things out of what seems like chaos/uncertainty. On the flip side - we form believes and make up rules based on the assumption of coherence.

@dickiebush @ScottAdamsSays 's The Day You Became a Better Writer (2007) "Your first sentence needs to grab the reader." "Write short sentences. Avoid putting multiple thoughts in one sentence." I highlighted almost every word in this essay. Classic.

In a recent @LewisHowes interview featuring @AliAbdaal , we got a sneak peek into Ali's new book on productivity. In this video, Ali covered "the 3 horsemen that kill productivity" and offered some good advice on combatting them. It's surprisingly simple. See thread 👇

Putting in some fun Roam42 SmartBlocks and testing it with fellow Roaman @Jeanvaljean689 . I warned you guys/gals that there will be lots of experiments and you'd have to make some new friends along the way. Be aware of what you might be signing up for :-)

@OzolinsJanis @tferriss I have a few questions I ask when I am stuck - 1. What would this look like if it were easy? @tferriss 3. What is the next immediate physical action I can take? @gtdtimes 2. What assumptions am I operating on that might no longer be true?

The best way to know a person is to tune out EVERYTHING that they say, and just observe what they do. Action is a much more reliable signal than words.
