Noteplan blog12/16/2023 ![]() So far, it seems as if most workflows I need work in noteplan. Omnifocus that I used so far makes it quite easy to do all this in one overview screen. Instead on a weekly to monthly basis, I'm used to going in review mode and ticking off and rescheduling. That leads to a lot of tasks I collect during the month and quite a few that are finished without me ticking them off directly. I start using noteplan and tried to make it work with my mix of GTA and bullet journal workflows. From Ryans article: In NotePlan on your Mac, open your sync Advanced options. Read here how you can find out where NotePlan saves your notes. Is there a preset that I could not find or is this something that's currently planned to implement or is there a logic why this is not working? In Obsidian open NotePlans folder as a vault (navigate to it or drag the folder into the picker). With around 100 tasks to review, that can get a bit tedious. Then I can tick off the task, need to click on review again, and start again. Instead, I have to click on the task and will be directed to the note where it originates. I started on this blog by implementing webmentions and comments, so feel free to let me know about your theme or goals for the year to test out how that all works.I realise in review mode, I can not check finished tasks. Users with practical, professional requirements can think about the app in this way, but you don’t need the suit and briefcase to reap the rewards of Trello as a bullet journal. Maybe I need to start midday reviews?Īnyway, I’m looking forward to being more intentional this year. Trello may be an unusual pick for a Digital Bullet Journal because it is business-oriented. NotePlan is designed to make your task planning more productive. NotePlan 1.6.21 Daily planning for professionals. I’m also struggling with doing proper weekly and daily reviews of the material that accumulates over the week and day… In the morning, I really like to go directly into work because it is when I’m most productive and at the end of my day (which is usually around 7pm), I don’t have a review in me. Think of this as the planning stage, at this time you might find it useful to plot out your day in blocks of time, with a specific activity planned for each. I also experimented a bit with time blocking, but it can be hard for me to box-in my attention that way. None of the tools is perfect for me, but they each have some features that I like. In the last week or so, I did experiment with different tools (mostly Craft, Noteplan, Obsidian, and Things) to streamline my (work) tasks. In the end, I was frustrated that I did not achieve a nebulous goal, but also that I did not properly relax. I caught myself a number of times in the in-between state between work and free time, where I could not really relax. Everything I do should have a clear intent, a clear outcome to make sure I use my time productively.Īnd that does not only mean “productively working” but also “productively relaxing”. I noticed during my review how much of my time I waste unintentionally. While I have a few specific goals for this year, the big umbrella theme is “ The Year of Intent”. The exercise helped me to make sure that I did not only look back at the negativity of the year. I reviewed the year using this Looking Back at 2021 planner from ink+volt (likely an inaccessible PDF) and it helped me greatly to see what the wins and possible improvements were. As I outlined in my 2021 blog post, it was a stressful year and I never really felt in the driver seat. Since hearing Myke Hurley and CGP Gray talk about “yearly themes” on the Cortex podcast, I try to go into every year with a theme that acts as the north star for decisions during that time.
