Task management, time-blocking and productive habits with Josh Duffney (Logseq & Dendron)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Josh and I discuss his approach to task management and time-blocking using Cal Newport's framework. He also discusses some more general approaches to productivity, and how he balances a number of different roles in his life.
We also do a quick detour into Dendron, as he is doing a 30-day time-boxed trial of the program. It's another great tool in the PKM space which is also free and open-source.
From the Dendron wikisite: "Dendron is an open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool. It's a personal knowledge management solution (PKM) built specifically for developers and integrates natively with IDEs like VS Code and VSCodium." More information available here: wiki.dendron.so/
Here is the Twitter thread where Josh answers a few additional questions: / 1547686253096685583

Great. I watched all the videos at x1.25. I don't go above that speed as I'm retired and not as nimble-minded. Study the manual next, do some experiments, and see how others are using the software. It's wonderful having goals but no time constraints after writing c/c++ for 35 years. Play the piano, read, study, or spend all day in my recording studio and create synthwave. I should have retired 10 years ago!
If you can follow at 1.25 that's pretty nimble 😉
It's a great privilege to be able to direct your attention to whatever arises - enjoy!
I feel you, I've watched them at x2 cause I'm quite dumb myself.

I discovered Josh last week. Great Colab !
Josh is great!
Hi, great content, is there any reference about "black hole of information" that you are talking about?
Thanks :) Unfortunately I don't know of any definitive origin for the phrase.
Can you help me how you created the design for your tags. They look really neat and tidy. Also are you using any specific theme for logesq ?
here we go :) www.onestutteringmind.com/adding-custom-css-to-logseq/
about your problem with too many lines block in "deleting and archiving notes", the plugin Split block could help
Thanks, will take a look :) I wonder if it's not doing the same as I would do in VS Code though, but will play around...
Awesome stuff, curious if Josh has a Github repo or similar where he shares his actual Logseq config?
Not sure 😕 Maybe reach out via his website.
i wonder how Josh could insert the morning-grid template w/o any headers. normaly templates are nested below a header...
You can create a template and choose not to include the parent block. Logseq inserts a property: "
template-including-parent:: false"
Hello
Can you help me I am having issues with MacBook Air and Logseq. I take a lot of notes on iPhone but none of them show on my Mac. Is it a case of them both not be stored in iCloud??
Hi Robert - I'm not familiar with the iPhone app or using iCloud (Android user here 🙂) The best place to ask for help is on the forum 👍🏽
@@CombiningMindsPKM thanks for getting back to me
I tried Dendron for a while. I really wanted to like because it would be great to use vscode for note taking as well as programming, but I've given up on it and am back to Logseq for the following reasons:
- No wysiwyg editor. It really makes the reading much nicer.
- Dendron Markdown preview has some rough edges
- Some things are oddly hard coded. Like you can use @person to link a person, but the person note *must* be in user.person hierarchy. Can't change it.
- Templates are handlebar templates. No idea why they don't use vscode snippets, which are much more powerful in this context.
- They use [[label|Source]] wikilink labels, which is backwards from every other tool I use.
- No implementation of aliases for searching
And finally development on the project appears to have pretty much stopped. Hopefully they start up again.
My biggest complaints about Logseq is that the non-standard markdown makes sharing/publishing difficult, but being able to tell a coworker to open a graph in the browser helps a lot
Holding thumbs for improved sharing / publishing in the future. Would love to have a standard Logseq -> Ghost export or something like that...
In your videos, it looks like you have a page named 'Dashboard' as a favorite page. I've been logseq'ing for just under a week and have things organized in my graph to build a dashboard and am interested in how you built your dashboard... Keep up the good work!
Thanks 🙏🏼 My dashboard is very basic - just a collection of queries, most of which change as I start focusing on different things. Would like to develop a 'one-stop shop' but not currently on the cards
I wanted to buy your course but no paypal :(
Thanks for the feedback! I've added PayPal payments now 🙏🏽
Many ways to skin a cat 😂 South African teacher reference.
I thought it was just our dodgy maths teacher 😄
