A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO TAKE NOTES | Visual Notes + Zettelkasten System

Even before the rise of second-brain apps like notion, obsidian or roam; there was this invention called the filling cabinet known as a great gigantic memory tool. The benefit was being able to organize content of any sort of information: documents, bills, tax forms, receipts, and more. But not everyone was happy of how the filling caninets were suppose to externalized personal memory. What would be the consequences of trying to turn every aspect if your life into information? -

When Everything In  Lives Becomes Data....

We are constantly turning our lives into data, much of it nonphysical: photos, screenshots, notes, messages and bookmarked and other digital detritus. This compendium of self-knowledge seems only to expand. Now, there is a new category of apps known as "personal-knowledge bases" or simply as "second brains". These type of apps like Notion, Obsidian and Roam Research are designed not only to store everyrhing that our brains cant hold but to makes us better at retrieving information. "If a thought can not be retrived, then it's not a useful thoughts"

The Evolution Of The Filling Cabinet

These platforms have fostered subcultures of devotees users, who built templates of almost anything from Habits Trackers to Life Dashboards. These apps encourage a radical level of self-documentation, especially the most prosaic details of their lives on to them. People have databases of all the books they wanna read or articles to read. Watching notions users describe how they are building their systems and accumulating information of every aspect of their lives. But, do we really need all that information? Why is this need to constantly capture and store information increasing so rapidly?

The Anxiety Become The Reality

Even though, these apps have created subcultures that adore using them to upload and organize information at an excesive level, saying that they are the despicable tools is an exageration. They do serve their purpose of organizing data, its just that we need to get aware of how we are using it, if what we are doing with it is meaningful or just an activity we do to feel "productive and busy".

Leaving With More Questions Than Answers...

Little did I know I going to experienced this phenomenon

Apps like Notion, Roam Research, Obsidian, and Mem promise to collect all the digital material we generate into one single, seamless interface. These platforms have fostered thriving subcultures of devotees. Do we really need all of that information?

The Rise of the Tabulated Self

Basically it is when we take destructive steps that get us further from our own succes.But if we want to achieve our goals, why do we sabotage ourselves?And more importantly, what can we do to stop this harmful behavior that impacts on every aspect of our lives?Well, first we must identify the causes, stop or eliminate the trigger and keep going with treatment.

Self-Sabotage 

People who self-sabotage might be aware of their actions or they might unconsciously act. But there are several causes for these behaviors:<ul><li>Childhood issues: Our earliest engagement with caregivers affects how we connect to others.</li><li>Difficult relationship effects: Reasons included insecure attachment styles, fear of getting hurt, <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/how-fear-of-commitment-can-impact-your-relationship-5199748">fear of commitment</a>, and unhealthy relationship beliefs.</li><li>Low self-esteem: They behave in ways that confirm negative beliefs about themselves.  </li><li>Cognitive dissonance: Holding two conflicting ideas at the same time.</li></ul>

Causes of Self-Sabotage

Procrastination: You show others you’re never ready and put off a good outcome. It’s because people fear disappointing others, failing, or succeeding.Perfectionism: Holding oneself to an impossible standard will cause delays and setbacks.They end up feeling ashamed, when something went wrong. Prone to depression, they feel like they are letting everyone down.Self-Medication: To deal with the constant battle between wanting to be successful and the script in their brains saying they can’t be, many soothe themselves through drugs or alcohol.

Common Ways People Self-Sabotage

<ul><li>Stop procrastinating</li></ul>If you keep putting something off what’s important to you, it might be easier emotionally than reaching a goal that you were told you’d never reach. <ul><li>Stop perfectionistic thinking</li></ul>Maybe you overthink every detail. Aim to strive for excellence, not perfection. Make small improvements and note progress on the way toward accomplishing the desired goal.<ul><li>Stop looking solely at the big picture</li></ul>When you shoot for something big, like becoming a top salesperson where you work, a giant goal can feel overwhelming. To prevent acts of self-sabotage, don’t get hung up on minutiae.

How to Stop Self-Sabotaging

If you think you self-sabotage, ask yourself:<ul><li>Is your behavior aligning with your goals?</li><li>If not, what is stopping you from taking action to make your dreams come true?</li><li>Do you feel uneasiness or discomfort when you progress? If yes, dig deeper:</li><li>Is this discomfort based on what others told you that limited your aspirations?</li><li>Is this discomfort based on a fear of failure and worry about looking foolish?</li><li>Are you concerned with achieving more than you thought possible?</li><li>If you do better or achieve more, do you believe success is more than you deserve?</li></ul>

Questions to Ask Yourself

The reason why I wanted to share this article is because I notice I have sabotage myself for so long, losing many opportunities. So, if you are in the same situation I hope this can help you somehow :)

Self-sabotage occurs when people hinder their own success. Learn more about what it is and how to stop the cycle.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Why We Self-Sabotage and How To Stop the Cycle

Almost every student has done one of these bad habits that decrease our focus, concentration, and energy and makes it harder to study and learn. That's why here is a list of the bad habits we should quit:<ul><li>Cramming all night</li><li>Procrastinate</li><li>Multitask</li><li>Lacking a productivity system</li><li>Get easily distracted</li><li>Not taking breaks or rewarding yourself.</li></ul>

How to study better and lesser while quitting bad habits 

It can be really tempting to do cramming all night but trying to absorb big amounts of information in a short time is not effective. Plus, this practice has disadvantages:<ul><li>Increases your stress levels</li><li>Affects the ability to concreate</li><li>Reduce the amount of sleep  that you get </li></ul>Solution: <ul><li>Make a study plan and a review timeline</li><li>Start to prepare for exams at least 2 weeks before the test</li><li>Go to sleep earlier the day before </li></ul>

Don't study the night before the exam

Doing anything at the last minute is the worst thing we can do. There are several reasons why we may procrastinate such as distractions, fear of failure, and perfectionism. However, if we don't control our time somebody else will (social media I am looking at you!!).So, in order to get things done:<ul><li>Plan your activities ahead</li><li>Estimate how much time you will spend on tasks.</li><li>Time track what you do and you will see where your time is going. </li></ul>

Don't procrastinate!

It's something that may sound productive but it isn't, doing several things at the same time, decrease our concertation from the activities since we are switching from one to another. Solution:<ul><li>Concentration on one activity at a time.</li><li>It increases the level of focus and the quality of our work.</li><li>Time blocking can be helped to take similar tasks one at a time in a single session.  </li></ul>

Say NO to Multitasking!

It doesn't mare what type of system or method you use as long as it helps you stay organized.But, if you want some tips, your system should have these characteristics.<ul><li>A method to prioritize and manage your projects, tasks, and chores.</li><li>Plan events and be able to see them in a day, week, and month view.</li><li>Keep track of every activity that you are doing</li></ul>

Not having a system to stay  organized

When you are in the class, don't use your phone or watch TikTok videos. Can be really hard to not get distracted by the number of objects or the environment of your study space, but this activity has a cost.Solution:<ul><li>Turn off any devices that could distract you from the class.</li><li>Get prepared before the class (clean up your desk, read the slides or the textbook from the lecture)</li><li>Take notes on the most important things you hear during the class.</li></ul>

Don't get distracted during the class

Whenever you accomplish something like finishing the assignment, writing a paper, or reviewing the last lecture presentation; you should reward yourself.You can...<ul><li>Eat snacks</li><li>Watch a video</li><li>Call a friend</li><li>Take a nap</li><li>Drink a coffee</li></ul>Any activity that brings you joy should be enough to remind yourself that the effort you do is worth it.By the way, take breaks after tackling demanding tasks that take longer o finish, remember we need rest and gain energy. Please, do it! Believe you don't want to get burned out.

  📄 How to study better while quitting bad habits

There are 3 main elements that help us be productive:<ul><li>Time </li><li>Energy</li><li>Direction</li></ul>And this course, there showed techniques and activities to keep these elements in shape or otherwise, all the effort we take to get things done will just end up being unproductive work.

The Productivity Equation

Without much time, we wouldn't be able to do many of our activities.In these case, time-management techniques such as time blocking or task prioritization can increase the number of hours we have to spend on certain things.

TIME

Multiplying your time: Doing something today that will give you more time tomorrow.The Focus Funnel: A way to know how to approach a task.<ul><li>Whether it can be eliminated, delegated, done today, or leave it for later.</li></ul>Divide your time: Give a clear start and finish time to your projects.<ul><li>It's better to have defined deadlines to avoid procrastination.</li><li>Time blocking can be helpful to work on specific activities during the day.</li></ul>

Multiply and divide your time

We can have all the time in the world, but if we don't have the energy to do the work, we won't get anything done.Activities that can improve our health and increase our energy are exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

ENERGY

TRAIN: <ul><li>Exercise: It increases our cortisol levels and body temperature which means we will be more alert and focused.</li><li>Nutrition: Eat healthily and reduce the consumption of junk food.</li></ul>RECOVER<ul><li>Sleep: Getting enough quality sleep is important to consolidate knowledge and erase the waste of your brain.</li><li>Mindfulness: Directing your attention to the moment can improve your cognition and reduce depression, anxiety, fear  or pain.</li></ul>

Train & Recover Energy

We can have all the time and energy to do stuff, but if we don't have a clear goal or objective, all that effort will end up being unproductive work. For this section, the key is to reduce distraction and increase traction to get closer to your goals.

DIRECTION

Traction: Getting closer to your goals.Distration: Getting further from them.To maximize your traction and minimize distraction we can use the pomodoro technique, distraction-free workspace, or deep work-mode.

Productive Focus

Some ideas and concepts from the course of The Productivity Equation from Mike and Matty.

The Productivity Equation: Desing a Balanced and Productive Lifestyle

The approach of building a Second Brain is focused on behavior and habits first, rather than tools, and consists of 4 universal steps called CODE.<ul><li>C (COLLECT)</li><li>O (ORGANIZE)</li><li>D (DISTILL)</li><li>E (EXPRESS)</li></ul>In this case, we will focus on the O phase in which we need a method to organize the information we have collected.This can be achieved with the PARA Method.

Building the Second Brain with The PARA Method

PARA is a principle that’ll help you organize your work digitally. <ul><li>Projects: series of tasks linked to a goal, with a deadline.</li><li>Areas: spheres of activity with a standard to be maintained over time.</li><li>Resources: topics or themes of ongoing interest.</li><li>Archives: inactive items from the other three categories.</li></ul>

What is the PARA Method?

A project has a goal to be achieved — a discrete event that will happen, allowing this item to be completely checked. This goal is supposed to take place at a specific moment in time. It has a deadline or timeframe, whether externally or self-imposed.Projects always fall into Areas. A few examples:<ul><li>Running a marathon is a project, whereas Health is an area</li><li>Publishing a book is a project, whereas Writing is an area</li><li>A vacation to Thailand is a project, whereas Travel is an area</li></ul>

PROJECTS 

Areas of Responsibility are the roles you take on in life and the hats you wear, the ongoing standards where the buck stops with you, and things that take a certain amount of constant attention.<ul><li>Exercise, Finances, Apartment, Pets.</li></ul>

AREAS

Resources are interests, themes, and assets. <ul><li>Psychology, politics, leadership</li><li>Web design,architecture; note-taking</li><li>Stock photos, typography links</li></ul>

RESOURCES

Archives are inactive items from the other three categories.<ul><li>Projects that have been completed or become inactive</li><li>Areas that you are no longer committed to maintaining</li><li>Resources that you are no longer interested in</li></ul>

WORKFLOW

The PARA method has helped me organize the information I collect into actionable things like uploading a post or finishing a university assignment. 

Tiago Forte is most known for his concept of developing a Second Brain. The 
Second Brain helps thousands to organize their minds digitally using 
concepts like CODE and PARA plot out everything in an organized fashion.

All chronotypes fall into a spectrum so it's impossible to individually categorize each single person's chronotype, but in broad terms, most people fall into four different categories: bear, dolphin, wolf and lion chronotypes. Knowing your chronotype may have a big impact on how you structure your day, when you schedule tasks and, most of all, what you can expect from yourself in terms of energy, creativity and productivity throughout the day. And passing on this knowledge to loved ones and people close to you is also important, because you’re also showing them what they can expect from you, and when. — Chronotype Schedules — Lion: https://cutt.ly/7bMbc6g Dolphin: https://cutt.ly/YbMbWgb Bear: https://cutt.ly/obMbE6V Wolf: https://cutt.ly/NbMbTad I offer organisation consulting services.

101 THINGS TO DO INSTEAD OF SCROLLING // ideas to have a fun, productive summer

Who hasn't been overwhelmed by the many apps out there that sell themselves as the ultimate all-in-one tool? or Who hasn't been frustrated with the desire of finding a perfect app that will satisfy all the needs.If you are one of those, let me tell you I know how it feels. It is part of the journey, but if you are kinda lost in this messy world, the following apps may help you stay organized.REMINDER:Don't forget that it doesn't matter what app you use, your system needs to have at least these features:<ul><li>Task management and prioritization</li><li>Time Tracking Software</li><li>Schedule events</li></ul>

The best apps to build your productivity and time management sys

A task management app that allows you:<ul><li>To create categories, projects, and subtasks</li><li>To give your tasks a date, hour, and level of priority. So, you know exactly what you need to do each day, and which things can be done later.</li><li>To see statistics about your productivity </li></ul>Plus: It has an integration with Google Calendar so any task you do will appear in your calendar as an event.

Todoist

A time tracking app that will give you some insights into how you are spending your time. Plus: <ul><li>It has an integration with Google Calendar so all the events or activities that are already part of your schedule can sync with Toggl.</li><li>The integration with Todoist allows you to start tracking tasks directly from your to-do list.</li></ul>

By far one of the best ways to plan ahead, add events, use time blocking, and see all the things you have been doing.<ul><li>It allows seeing all the activities you have in a day, week, month, and year view.</li><li>Quickly schedule meetings and events</li><li>Get reminders about upcoming activities.</li></ul>

Google Calendar

These are the only apps I am currently using as my productivity system. (Aside from Notion, which I use more as a note-taking app). After been compulsively using app by app trying to find the perfect one, I decide to stay with these 3 apps that for specific functions.

The best apps to build your productivity and time management system

It’s so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making better decisions on a daily basis.Almost every habit that we have — good or bad — is the result of many small decisions over time. So, here you will find some techniques and steps to make better decisions and become the person you always wanted to be.

Time Management and Productivity

It is the ability to do activities that get us closer to reaching our goals. This can be spending more time going to the gym or getting up earlier, anything that helps us to accomplish our objectives.Willpower has a lot to do with our planning and self-control. So in order to develop it, we need to be consistent.

Wha it is Willpower?

<ul><li>Meditate: sit, free your mind and breathe. Do it for 10 minutes 3 times a week.</li><li>Pause and Plan: Make decisions thinking in the medium or long term.</li><li>Pre-commitment: Eliminate possible excuses to face a problem, through the self-imposition of elements that generate pressure and force us to achieve our goals.</li><li>Think about the future self: Take into account the consequences of our actions.</li></ul>

Techniques to increase willpower:

<ol><li>Identify each part of the habit, identify what is the true origin of the desire, then the trigger or what makes us start this circle.</li><li>Replace or eliminate elements, it can be the trigger or the routine.</li></ol>Remember it is changing a habit, not eliminating or removing it.We must bear in mind that a habit stays with us forever since it is part of our brain. Therefore, it is practically impossible to remove it. The trick is to change it.

How to change our Habits?

<ol><li>Determine what we want to achieve. The more details the better, for example, some want better health or learn a new skill. </li><li>What are you willing to give something in return. Nothing is free, and we will always have to sacrifice something to get something. </li><li>Set the date. By doing this, we will have committed ourselves and we will be fully responsible for our actions.</li><li>Have a plan. Creating multiple milestones along the way, putting together a realistic timeline, and being consistent.</li><li>Write it down. This is a formal contract, which works as a commitment to ourselves.</li><li>Read it. Once a day to remember.</li></ol>

Setting goals

<ul><li>Specific </li><li>Measurable</li><li>Attainable  </li><li>Realistic </li><li>Time-Bound</li></ul>

SMART Goals

<ul><li>Reminder (the trigger that initiates the behavior)</li><li>Routine (the behavior itself; the action you take)</li><li>Reward (the benefit you gain from doing the behavior)</li></ul>

How the brain processes habits.

These ideas are the techniques and steps I learned to increase productivity, change my habits, and make better decisions. All these are shown in more detail in the course Time Management and Productivity.
