#Day2 of playing with Tana basic features.

Today I learned how to create a reading dashboard. By choosing the option "View as tabs" I can turn every query in the dashboard into a tab.

That way I can quickly alternate between views.

@PattyOrion Thank you so much for the recommendation, Patty! I hadn’t heard of this one yet. Will definitely read it!

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

Worked on my first mini-project in #Tana today!

This is the beginning of my book collection. Can't wait to start taking notes and exploring the different views.

Does anyone know if I can add a field that contains the cover image of the book?

@PattyOrion Wow! Really impressive! 😍

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

The query capabilities of #Logseq and #Tana have eased my perfectionist mind.

I can simply write down every thought in the daily page without giving each of them a unique home.

That’s a huge mindset shift from traditional apps and I’m embracing it!

@markuswestergr1 @logseq I'm so glad this was helpful, Markus!
I started with the basics by following their docs, I really recommend this approach.

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

Today I learned the basics of @logseq! It's THE tool for turning knowledge into content and avoiding endless copies of notes:

No note-taking friction (daily page)
Backlinks for easy referencing
Each bullet is a block (quickly copy and move ideas)

5/5 I invite you to start your day with a handwritten brain dump. I promise you'll feel all the above benefits and more!

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

I love digital note taking apps, but the first thing I do every morning is declutter my brain by writing down my every thought with pen and paper, here's the science behind it:

4/5 Emotional Processing and Stress Reduction

Journaling helps us understand and process our thoughts and feelings, reducing stress and anxiety.

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

Over the years, I have realized that the whole point of note-taking and building a second brain is to foster connections that you normally wouldn’t, because our short-term memory is just that: short.

@ednico_ @logseq Thank you for your very insightful comment, Ed! You're so right. Every time I discovered a new note taking app I would search for the most advanced templates, which made me feel overwhelmed and, at some point, just abandon the app completely.

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

@PattyOrion It really is! I’ve been using it but not taking full advantage of the backlinks and graph view.

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

Notes categorized by tags or folders are usually forgotten.

I’ll experiment taking notes and connecting similar topics with backlinks. #Obsidian and #Logseq are great tools for that.

Looking forward to share the results.

#10dayjournalchallenge It’s a wrap!

In 10 days, with nothing but pen & paper, we've built a toolset that offers immense value. Whenever you seek #introspection or #direction, these prompts are here for you.

Thanks for being part of this journey. Keep #journaling & #growing🌱

[Natalia Foppa @natfoppa]

End/ This journaling exercise isn't just about identifying desires. It's about confronting the pain of stagnation and leveraging it for growth!

11/ Allocate time to tackle these mundane issues.

Remember: Your attitude to everyday complacencies tends to be similar to your attitude to big life complacencies.
