I love Fridays because not only is it the end of the week, it's the day where I get to indulge in my PKM obsession by closing off my week's work by documenting it in my productivity system. It's still work, but it's also fun haha.
I'm such a nerd ;D
Five steps to improve critical thinking:
1. Formulate your question
2. Gather information
3. Apply the information
4. Consider the implications
5. Explore other points of view
Tip of the day: We are big advocates of being diligent in your backups, especially if your data is important to you. Full and incremental machine backups are a great idea, but you may want a specific backup for the data of our apps too. Here is, how you do that. #backups #devonagent #devonthink #pkm #productivity #research #tipoftheday #websearch https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20250204-backup-data
Tip of the day: Annotations are text documents in #DEVONthink that are attached to another document, for example a #PDF. They are a simple but powerful tool for making notes about a document and can therefore be used for everything from research to schoolwork to journaling and more. Here’s an introduction, or a refresher. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20221129-annotations-in-devonthink
In Obsidian, I find it's better to use the Iconize plugin than to include actual emojis in file and folder names because some backup and syncing software choke on emojis. #Obsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM
Tip of the day: Smart groups are a good way to view items matching specific criteria, like all the flagged #PDFs in your #DEVONthink database. While it’s easy enough to make a smart group, if you find yourself doing the same search over and over, you can use it to create a smart group in a few clicks. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240102-reuse-search-devonthink-smartgroup
Tip of the day: In #DEVONthink, you move documents around, duplicate them, or capture web content and store them in a specific location. So that you can quickly continue working, there is a command in #DEVONthink that takes you to your last destination. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20241217-access-last-destination-devonthink
Überzeugte Benutzer:innen von #Emacs #orgmode können bei dem Video von @CT3003COOL drunter einen Kommentar hinterlassen, sich eventuell mal in einem anderen Video mit Org zu probieren. (Ich habe kein Account, um YouTube-Kommentare zu hinterlassen.)
Bei diesem Zielpublikum eine interessante Herausforderung, denn sowas wie lock-in Effekte, Migrationsaufwand, Möglichkeiten, an den Rohdaten selbst mitzufrickeln (extern generieren/auswerten, ...) kam gar nicht vor.
Wichtiger scheinen da optische Gimmicks wie Titelbilder, Emoticons und Gifs. Wer das nachvollziehen kann, darf sich bitte bei mir zwecks ein paar Fragen melden.

There are people in this world smart enough to write articles for money, yet the articles they write are about how hard it is to use #Obsidian, an app that creates plain text files. I don't get what's so hard. I'm an old man with no college and not a developer and I can do it. #pkm #ObsidianMD

Of course, if you do have long-time plans for your personal #knowledgemanagement, you should not use proprietary tools like #Obsidian, #OneNote, #Evernote and alike.
You also should think of switching to a much better (learnability, portability/compatibility, typobility, logic, featureset) markup syntax like #orgdown which is used in #Emacs #Orgmode (among other tools).
But if you start with Org-mode, you need to know the right way of doing it, as so many web pages recommend. Here's my take:

A specific blog post about the #lockin effects of Obsidian and Co (despite using some tool-specific flavor of MD) is in the making. (Please don't start a religious discussion here.)

Tip of the day: If you have groups or tags in a #DEVONthink database and want to use them in another, you may have tried copying them. But this also duplicates the documents. We have a script for you to duplicate only selected groups or tags, leaving their documents behind. #automation #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240820-duplicate-groups-and-tags
Tip of the day: With our Clip to #DEVONthink extension, you can easily capture web content in Google Chrome. However, if you are having trouble downloading the extension, we may have a solution for you. #capture #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #troubleshooting https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20250121-download-chrome-extension
Tip of the day: Scanning documents is a much needed function for many people, but you might not have a scanner available. If you have an iPhone or iPad connected to the same Apple Account as your Mac, you can use it to scan directly into #DEVONthink’s Global Inbox. We show you how. #ios #paperless #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240716-iphone-ipad-mac-scanner
There are so many ways to get web content into Obsidian - the official web clipper, Slurp, Extract URL Content, ReadItLater, MarkDownload, Plugins for Pocket and Instapaper, Apple Shortcuts. Which do you use? #Obsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM
