Great question. Heptabase is used daily for jotting down fleeting thoughts, ideas, insights, memorable moments. All of these go in the Journal meta-app in Hepta. I also use it daily to make sense of ideas. For that I'll use the whiteboards. Mymind is used daily for saving photos I take while walking and books I want to read in the future. I could use Heptabase to add books I wanna read and photos but it's a bit more involved. Mymind is done in 1 click. Hope that's helpful. I'll probably do a video on how I use these two apps in the near future.

Noted. Thank you!

No problem man! That would be cool to chat sometime.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks so much Ramesh. Means a lot to hear that!

Are you referring to the focus mode when I click on a card or text element?

@@Greg_Wheeler adding the synonyms to notes

@@GigaCrafty Ohhh, I'm with ya now!

Thank you so much! I love the way you explained that. Glad to hear it was helpful.

Great thoughts and questions. I see the note itself as the title. So even though the note card may literally have one sentence on it, that itself becomes the main idea/title of that card. And I can use that note card in multiple ways, like a lego piece. This system leans more towards Ryan Holiday's note-taking system. He has a physical box of note cards related to a topic. A single card could have a quote, a word, a phrase. Anything really. I see my cards in Heptabase as those note cards. Now the difference with mine is I try and write it for my future self, making it able to stand on its own without additional context. I'm learning as I go haha When I'm ready to produce something, I create a section in Heptabase within my Workbench whiteboard. This section is where I'll drag in previous cards and create new cards to connect them to make a longer piece. If it's an article or something written, I may end up using one card that consolidates all the ideas once I'm done visually connecting all the ideas.

@@Greg_Wheeler yes, I have been learning the Ryan Holiday note card system since I came across Robert Greene, I started with card and eventually gave up and gone to digital. I like how you say it, one word can also be a card. I will try that..love to see you expand this topic into another videos. One other thing I am struggling is during the RH card system is categorization, I often find it hard to categorize this, so the backlink system write as you link works better for me in this case, that's hard to do it Heptabase. One thing I begin to think about is how app workflow is important in guiding your creativity , like what is my Capture app, and what is my Organie and Distill app and what is my Output app, do you operate this way ?

@@JordanWellness I'll look at working on a video(s) on what the RH system might look like in Heptabase. For my workflow, I use Heptabase to capture fleeting thoughts/ideas and literature notes. I use MyMind to capture future books I wanna read and photos I wanna save during the week. For organization and distilling, I use Heptabase. For expressing, I use RUclips (obviously haha) and Substack (not regularly) and conversations.

Thanks man! 👊

Hope it was helpful!

Hey! For book highlights/quotes, I'd make each quote a note (or document in Craft). If I had a thought regarding that quote, I would put inside of the same quote document in the note content area. I then would use the bi-directional linking to link to a document for the book, the type of note (e.g. literature), and the topic or theme it related to (creativity, writing in your own words, etc). I'm reading a book right now while using Heptabase to take notes. Everything at this point is going into one card. After I'm done, I'll go through it and make my own note cards with quotes and ideas/thoughts and those cards can be added to appropriate whiteboards. Will probably do a video on that in the future.

@@Greg_Wheeler brilliant,thanks for the detail explanation, I am using Heptabase too to do deep thinking and studying on one subject, using the card system as well with atomic idea, my struggle right now is once I drag the highlight on the board, do I write in my own words below the original source or do I rephrase the highlights into my own words. I believe these card will be reused in the future to form new ideas etc, but I am not sure if I should keep the original source as well, it becomes very clutter after a while. I would love to see how you do it !! Your Heptabase videos are awesome..thanks man

@@visi7891 thanks!

@@iloilocrypto yes it creates tags for RUclips videos. I tried with Spotify podcasts but it doesn’t appear to be showing tags for those.

@@Greg_Wheeler thanks for your reply and helpful content 🙏

@@iloilocrypto No problem!

Thanks!

Yes it is!

Thank you 🙏

Yep, went through Scrintal and Obsidian as well. haha Thank you. More Heptabase videos coming!

Thanks man! Yep, more videos coming!

Thank you. I’ll need to check her out!

@@noteeyapp thanks 🙏

@@RameshKumar-ng3nf thank you for the kind words. As I’ve explored the note taking app land, I am settled on Heptabase. So more Heptabase videos are coming for sure.

@@Greg_Wheeler Thank you Bro 😊 . Eagerly waiting for those heptabase videos 😊

@@RameshKumar-ng3nf 👊

I’m actually all in with Heptabase. xTiles reached out to me to see if I’d review the app. It’s a pretty neat app, especially for projects but not something I’d use as my main note taking app.

@@Greg_Wheeler I started using Craft after I saw what you were doing with it. My challenge is always chasing after the next best tool that it out there. They all seem to have their pros / cons. I started many, many years ago with Evernote. I have loaded half of my life into there. Then Notion came along. Started using that and then Craft. So now I have subscriptions to all of them and I don't want to give up on any one because I have some content in all of them that I want to keep. It would be hard to standardize and move all content to one platform. But I really like what I see with xTiles. I think it could possibly work well with my work and it seems like it does have a cross over function that a lot of the other apps don't. I have really started to love my morning routine with Craft and my Bible study. I don't use it for note taking, but for reading and keeping track of Bible study and notes, it is working really well for me. I think I will keep on Craft for that purpose for now. But I am super curious and intrigued by xTiles. I haven't heard of them before so wouldn't have even known about them if it weren't for you, so the referral certainly was worth it. 🙂

@@Greg_WheelerCan you tell us why you chose heptabase over obsidian? Have you already decided to move there from Craft?

@@annepollak_education that’s a great question and probably be a future video. Haha but I really like the structure of Heptabase’s meta apps (journal, cards, map, tags, highlight). Easy to use and it just makes sense to me. On top of that, I looove that when I draw connections, Heptabase shows that connection in the metadata. It shows connections to sections, text elements, other cards, etc. With Heptabase, the focus is making sense of things visually. And that aligns with my style of learning. Hope that helps.

Thanks man!

Thanks. Hope it was helpful for ya!

@@melvyndotme thanks!

So glad it was helpful for ya. And thanks for the kind words.

Good question. They are in the same folder as my notes.

Love the idea of 1 book of each non-fiction and fiction.

Thanks!

I am! Love Cal Newport's stuff. I still wanna read his latest Slow Productivity.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes! 👊🏼

Thanks! Good question. Yes, sparks are thoughts/ideas I have when reading a book. Sorry for the confusion there.

Thx! That is what I thought. I keep working on my book notes workflow so wanted to make sure I understood. Keep up the great work!

Thank you! I used Figjam (www.figma.com/figjam/) from Figma.

@@Greg_Wheeler How does Figjam compare to Miro, in your opinion? I've started looking into both

@@tc11487 I haven't looked into Miro yet. But may be a future video idea!

Glad it was helpful. I enjoyed making it!
