[Music] log seek is a not seeking app that is not known by many people but it's one of the best personal knowledge management tools i've ever used in this video i want to show you how i use it every day to organize my life [Music] hey my name is shu i am back from long break from youtube i was actually working on my new online course about how i make my youtube videos but thank you so much for coming back to watch my video again and also thanks to short form for sponsoring this video today
i want to talk about my favorite no-type lookseek again i've tried many note-taking apps before like evernote onenote and obsidian until recently i've been using rom research as my primary note app but i switched to logsiq simply because it suits my workflow better and it is free if you want to know the difference between rom and the logseq please watch this comparison video i made anyway let's get into how i use logsiq but i have to say this is what works for me and it might not work for you so i hope you find a
few things that are helpful for you and integrate them into your system [Music] so this is looksik it's a simple yet super powerful outliner app like many notes apps nowadays you get a note for each day which is called a journal in logsiq for me this is where i write everything as you can see i write things chronologically in this timeline for example i do my morning pages in the morning then i wanted to write i thought i go while i'm meditating in the afternoon you can see i was planning a new video for youtube
which is actually this one it's kind of like intersexual journaling which i talked about in a video before but i found this method incredibly useful because i can write down anything on this page regardless of category or genre that means you don't have to think about which folder to put this note in or what title you should give it to it also it saves so much time because you don't have to spend time navigating between a bunch of folders you can just write it down without wasting your mental energy and time on these things for
instance i can write down what i learned about how using mouthwatch can raise your blood pressure after that i can write about my new blog post it really saves you from the burden to organize your notes which was one of the problems i had with traditional note-taking apps like evernote and onenote apps like logseq lets you focus on writing instead of organizing stuff another reason why i love this method is that it helps me to remember what i learned and what i did since everything is part of the timeline you can always see the context
of every block for example i can see i thought about cohort based course because just before i was catching up on online course i am taking this might be just me but knowing the context of each note helps me to remember these things more vividly for a long time that's probably because you can use the context like what you did before and after as a hook to remember as to why you made that note in the first place [Music] importing highlights from the articles and books you read is really simple if you use redevise right
now there is no direct read wise and logic integration but obsidian does if you download obsidian and set up a vault in the same folder as your logistic folder you can benefit from its plugins for example they have the official re-device plugin which allows you to import highlights from various apps into obsidian so let's say i made some highlights in mata which is my favorite reading app since it's connected to my read-wise account it will be synced to obsidian but because my obsidian and log 6 shares the same folder it will also appear in logic
2. it all sounds like a long process but it's really easy to set it up because all you have to do is just download obsidian choose your logistic folder as a new vault location then install the redevise plugin then you can see all the highlights you made in logseq so far i've tried many different knowledge management techniques like the para method by tiago forte and the terracaster method of nicholas lumen but the method that clicked with me the most is creating atomic flashcards as a block of knowledge i cannot talk about this whole thing in
this video but in a nutshell whenever i consume information i will break it down into smaller pieces and pound them into flashcards it's the same idea as atomic noise but instead it's atomic flashcards the main reason why i make flashcards instead of nodes is simply because it helps me to remember what i read because you're going to have to review them again and again but in contrast making noise alone isn't quite enough at least for me to remember what i learned in just a few weeks i just forget what i wrote but if what i
wrote is in the form of a flashcard i can kind of force myself to remember it until it moves to the long term solid memory each time i review my cards i spend a few minutes adding a little more information and connecting to other flashcards until i'm satisfied then move on to the next one this way i can develop notes how to flashcards incrementally over time i use lookseek to save my content ideas too for example when i came up with an idea for tweet i tag it with the tweet tag then later when i
schedule my tweets i can go to the page and see the list after scheduling the tweet just delete the tag but when it comes to blog and youtube videos i prefer to organize them in notion rather than in logseek it's simply because notion lets you manage your ideas in different formats like kanban board calendar list table and timeline which makes it much better tool for organizing your content ideas than logseek similarly you can manage your tasks in logsig if you want to personally i have a page called log seek tasks where i can see the
list of things to do unlike most note-taking apps you can make a pretty sophisticated task management system within this app by using functions like queries scheduling deadline repeats priority and so on but i don't really use it every day just because looksig doesn't have its mobile app yet for me being able to check my task list instantly on the go on my phone it's absolutely critical so for now i just use a different app for managing tasks one of my favorite apps to use with log seek is short form it's a book summary app but
they do more than just summarizing books unlike other apps they offer super detailed book guides that include not just summaries but analysis of the book's key ideas because it lets you download their summaries as pdf i usually get the pdf summaries on my favorite books like non-violent communication and upload them to logseek using its pdf reader you can make highlights and extract them then i add a little note for each highlight and turn it into a flashcard so i can remember what i read it's a simple and easy way to learn new ideas and make
sure you won't forget them if you want to try short form go to shortform.com the first 300 visitors will get 5 days of unlimited access and a 20 discounted annual subscription all right that was the overview of how i use logsiq every day i'm sure everybody has their own unique ways of using this tool but i hope you found something useful in this video thank you so much for watching and i will see you in the next video bye [Music] [Music] you
