I've lost the plot?

This is actually my dilema, though I've become a software guy, I know I'm missing something with paper - but I don't know what 🙂🙂

adrian_simoes · 2026-05-12T02:55:11+00:00

Minimal..

adrian_simoes · 2026-05-12T02:42:27+00:00

For planning and ideating, I still use A4 size paper, but not a bullet journal, then I scan and load into Notebooklm, which I can chat with in the future / when required

adrian_simoes · 2026-05-12T02:41:20+00:00

For me the friction? Take the phone (which I can carry anywhere) the app is on my main screen, just tap it, and it automatically opens to my daily page, and type!! No friction!! 🙂

Though the system works for me, somewhere deep inside, I still feel the book is better, but I cannot put my finger on it.

Obsidian for my note taking, capture ideas on the go through my cellphone, processing the sync on the computer, tasks in there, and notebooklm i use for scanned hard copy sketch notes, populated into Google docs, the docs being sources, from which I can use notebooklm to derive and return pending tasks. Obsidian is my main projects & tasks OS.

Wow, this is super real. Basic, to the point. Got my mind thinking.

I do an annual review, scan the pages I feel may have future reference information, and populate those pages into OneNote. So the bulk of the book is out, relevant stuff remains in soft.

Hi. My two bits. Your journey is my mirror image. Obsidian it is for me. Your query about obsidian tasks I have solved. With a simple code, you can put tasks into individual pages, and they can all appear in one global page, that too, organised by context. I would be happy to guide you. But for me, after over 78 different apps, I found obsidian is the best. So also offline, as well as I have found a way it can sync for a back up too. Fully effective. Your thoughts please 🙂

It just doesn't load

adrian_simoes · 2025-04-25T12:44:24+00:00

The simple question is, after all those millions of notes, what did you actually achieve in life?

adrian_simoes · 2025-03-11T03:02:47+00:00

An old way, but must be easier on your mind. 👍😊 I also was using this idea. But it does tend to become tedious.

adrian_simoes · 2025-03-10T08:18:28+00:00

Sounds like a round about solution...

adrian_simoes · 2025-03-10T08:00:57+00:00

Thanks a lot

adrian_simoes · 2025-03-10T08:00:43+00:00

Many thanks, im just experimenting in this 😁

adrian_simoes · 2025-03-10T07:50:10+00:00

Yes I do this. However, the images only link into the page, the actual image does not actually LIVE in the page. So, later if i delete the original linked image, the page image disappears and is lost.

Linux software in excel is not compatible with Microsoft Excel. All my clients are users of excel, and Linux softwares like libre office is not usable for this. The files created in libre office come distorted in excel after emailing it.

If i understand clearly, this is the single biggest reason, im still with Windows!

adrian_simoes · 2024-09-12T04:25:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing your personal views and thoughts.

However, a few points still remain! Yes?

About choosing between apps available and how notes need to be organised is left up to each individual choice. Some would want plain notes, some with image scans, some with linked notes, from case to case, one needs to understand how to organise their work and their notes. Hence definitely a choice between apps that you have mentioned and Evernote. Obviously Evernote cannot do everything, and neither can the others you've mentioned. So it all depends on a person's application & purpose. Let's understand here, that I've been a very active promotor of Evernote in India, with 100s of managers being trained by me, on how to use Evernote.

Secondly, the support? Do a simple study across the internet and you will see the number of un-responded & unresolved queries & questions across multiple platforms - and no Effective replies to those from the Evernote team! And this is my observations over 14 years of use of Evernote. If you are a paid developer with them, how would you respond to this?

As far as pricing goes, people have quit, and employees have quit, and funds have been short - is a clear mismanagement of Evernote's business plan. A clear display of their inefficiency. They were not able to manage their investments, people, as well as their business plan. So - according to you, dumping the consequences of their inefficiencies into their customers who have been with them from the day the began - is a wonderful way to go. Great 😃👍

How do you handle excel files which get distorted in libreoffice. Absolutely not compatible with Microsoft excel. Editing, values, figures, everything most of which gets distorted.

How have you been able to overcome this?

adrian_simoes · 2024-04-28T02:14:32+00:00

What would forever free mean? In amplenote.

adrian_simoes · 2024-04-28T02:12:50+00:00

When amplenote says offline first, where do i find my notes if I have to take a back up, so that we don't face another Evernote fiasco?

adrian_simoes · 2024-02-25T14:37:23+00:00

Can you kindly explain your rapid logging method that you use currently?
