πŸ’­ Was thinking yesterday: need to find something that will just "feel right".

πŸ’« Remembered that everything that was really working for me - felt right from the first time I used it and reduced anxiety and chaos right away.

Now remembered that Notion was exactly like this!

Maybe it's because notion creates structure? And is hierarchical?

Maybe roam is addictive, fun; but useless?

I found myself wanting to spend more and more time on the platform, especially when I was unable to be on it. I stayed up late. I woke up early. When I was not taking notes on what I was reading, I was watching videos on how to take better notes on what I was reading. Zettlekasten, anyone. I began neglecting other projects and parts of my life.In other words, I was addicted.It was great that I was making better use of my time, till I realized it was making me quite miserable in the processβ€Šβ€”β€Šso I returned, very happily, to the safe but flexible structure of Notion.

Taking notes on everything simply to see it mapped and hope that it will one day be relevant is a colossal waste of time.

The thing that’s delighted me about Roam has been how having it open a tab affects my entire attitude about research. I feel like I’m playing learning: the video game.

really, it's so chaotic. Found out for sure that-at least-TM is a disaster in Roam

✍🏻17:45 excited to start and try using Notion as a main LMS (at least for organized work)

-> πŸ“ every time you web hoarding - remember that the pages with lists won't go anywhere and rather than go through them and save links - just same the source. Because if it will get updated - you will be tempted to go through it again...

-> πŸ“ This shows the power of student mindset, once again: read about roam vs Notion and learned that many people waste huge amounts of time in Roam and get nowhere. And that the chaos I experience is, in part, due to roams lack of structure. And that notion is build around structure.

Inputs Learned about thing called methodologies - that's exactly what I meant by system, strategy, workflow etc.

✍🏻 πŸ‘€ 21:15 laser focused, maybe mph, or that Im finally alone at home.

✍🏻 πŸ“… accidentally found out that Anya is talking with some Russian girl from KIT Chem. fac.. For two days already, and I found out only because I directly asked her if she is talking with someone new.

Asked, because she began to behave differently (remember - huge red flag!) - complaining that I'm not a man, whiny etc.

Huge red flag that she once again didn't tell me.

Another bad sign is that she didn't tell me, because she was scared to "lose a potential new friend" - once again. That she wanted to find a company so bad - that she decided to not say anything rn.
