    I've been using xTiles a bit and like it. I would love a step-by-step tutorial on how to make it pretty and how to use the functionality. Would you consider doing a video like that? I love your delivery style! As a fellow ADHDer, you made it easy to follow!

      Unfortunately I don’t have the capacity to make xtiles tutorial videos. Those take a lot of time to make and even though I love the tool I’m also not expert enough to explain it to other people (yet). I might make this in the future but I also want to be honest about the fact I don’t expect to make it short term 💜

I made it myself completely based on your system and it's working brilliantly for me. I wanted to thank you and would like to request that you make an updated video on how Notion is working out for you as you have moved all in just this year. Lots of love ❤

    Every few months, new apps pop up that do something better than existing apps. But I always wonder how long these new start-ups survive ...
    All the information that accumulates over a long time, with the risk that the tool will suddenly no longer exist.

    • @ExtraTxt
      @ExtraTxt  3 месяца назад +7

      Very true! I feel like whenever you want to pick a new app it's always good to keep this in mind. You can either decide to be an early user of a tool with the risk of the tool not making it or you can wait until a tool has built some solid momentum. If you want to be an early user I would always recomend to not immediately move your entire system over but try to use two things at the same time. This allows you to figure out how to move your things once you decide to fully move over and it also gives you that buffer period of trying out a new tool. But of course the risk never fully goes away!

    Excellent video. Had me look at Xtiles again. I have my systems in Filemaker Pro and I've been wanting to convert them to Notion where I've spent most of my time. Notion confuses me compared to FMP. My FMP system is pretty flawless.
    Xtiles has some cool aspects, but I don't know it well enough. It's fun to play with. I would think your first step would be to duplicate your Notion 2024 and see how far it takes you. I'm guessing there'd be some quick areas that would cause blocks, but who knows? Not me.

      I don't plan on moving my Notion set-up to xTiles. Like I mention in this video I've been using it to collaborate with my partner mostly but I don't want to move my entire set-up to xTiles considering Notion has YEARS of content in it for me that I don't want to move or loose. I do think this tool could be amazing for people who feel like Notion is too complicated or overwhelming because it offers perfect middle ground between complex tools and more simpler tools. But it sounds like you also already have a pretty solid system that works for you 😊

    I'm an ADHD brain and I'm struggling finding the right app to record and organise my knowledge.
    Note taking, tutorials extract, random info about different areas of my life like personal improvement, music, etc.
    I'm trying Notion but I feel really overwhelmed because of too many options 😢
    Do you think Xtiles would be good for notes manager and knowledge management?

    • @ExtraTxt
      @ExtraTxt  2 месяца назад +1

      @@hbhavsi I think Tick Tick, or todoist or any to do list app is fantastic if thats all you want to do. If you just want to manage your to do's. But as soon as you want to also manage your study planner, your recipes and more information you quite quickly end up in the realm of productivity tools like Xtiles and Notion. For me personally it doesn't make sense to use a to do list app on top of my productivity app because then I find myself switching between the two all the time which is time consuming. However, there is plenty of people who make it work for their situation to work in two apps. In the end it all comes down to personal preference because all apps are pretty great and have solid unique selling points. I'd recommend trying out a few different things and seeing which one feels the most natural and easy to maintain for you!

      ADHD is like "wow a new thing, I wanna try!!" but if you don't have a specific goal in mind for it, it's super easy to get overwhelmed and kinda burnt out. I realized I can't even watch content on productivity bc it causes anxiety spikes... unless I have something in mind! I've had IBS flare ups recently and need a place to store recipes, have a meal plan, and a symptoms tracker, and I move around too much those days to use a notebook, so tools like Xtiles are perfect. As long as I'm at peace with the fact that I may get passionate about this brand new amazing system and abandon it 3 weeks later once the novelty effect has worn off, it's all good!

    Which is better for adhd? Tick tick or xtiles?

    • @ExtraTxt
      @ExtraTxt  3 месяца назад +1

      As someone who’s never used tick tick I’m afraid I cannot make this recommendation. However if I compare it to todoist (which is also just a to do list app) I’d say it depends on what you’re trying to do. If you’re just looking for a away to track your to do’s then sometimes keeping it simple and just going for a to do list app makes it easier for ADHD brains to get started. However if you are looking for something that also allows you to write notes, make calendars etc you’d be looking at something like xtiles or notion! :)
