Quite a few years ago my research reach exceeded my grasp and I began looking for more robust solutions to recording my findings in ways that I could retrieve and use them as needed. That led me through quite a few systems, landing ultimately in Nick Milo's community (I have to call it that, because it is), first through his free videos and the online conference he organizes and ultimately signing up for his full online course to refine my efforts.
My own system continues to evolve, and I am getting more comfortable with it.
And in short, if Nick says, "Try this," I'll try it, and take away the components that enhance my own growing process.
Anyway, thanks to Nick for all the good stuff--on both the technical and the community sides.
Obsidian has vastly improved my retention and digestion of incoming information. And Nick Milo builds systems to make it even better. Remarkable, and thank you!
Wow!. Such a wonderful jumpstart to help you create your own PKM system in Obsidian. It includes sufficient structuring and scaffolding to help you customize further for your ideas and efforts. The custom callouts and dataview queries offer an dynamic interactive experience so making notes is always a joy. The ACE folders and ARC framework take this to another level beyond the earlier Linking Your Thinking (LYT) Kit. Significant inline help is always available with the Ideaverse Map as well as the email course to help you get started. Nick, thank you for this wonderful gift that will help so many people.
Just started trialing Nick's On/Ongoing/Simmering/Sleeping framework for my projects and it's brought the focus and peace of mind I needed!!!
Thank you Nick for sharing the joy of connecting ideas with your amazing mind!
Hard to contribute anything more, since all the comments have said it all. This was the start of a great PKM journey. Finally all my ideas have their place and i find them when i need them, and I stumble across them when they are connected to my current thoughts. Ill be forever grateful for the LYT kit now Ideaverse. I love this new name and can't wait to dive in.!!!
LYT was a great tool for me to improve my Engineering skills. I study a lot of topics and finding a way to link all of this knowledge with conenctions and ordered is PRICELESS for me. I'm eager to try the new ideaverse. Great job Nick!
I've used the LYT kit for a couple months now. I have not utilized it to it's fullest and maybe developed some poor habits because of my own volition. I am super excited to utilize this starter kit. I start college this fall and I'm greatly looking forward to creating good habits for myself. I think what interests me the most is the ACE folder/headspace framework. I've wanted to have Obsidian "manage my life" and that takes a lot of deliberate effort. Having a framework that is fun, thoughtful, and aesthetically pleasing is motivational for learning.
I felt alone in my passion for the creative side of personal knowledge management until I found Nick and the Link Your Thinking community. I excitedly look forward to his offerings as they're always top-notch, and the Ideaverse is no different. The perfect combination of form and function.
Well done Nick, I had today marked on my calendar and couldn't wait to download and play with the Ideaverse. I can make use of so many of the inspirations. The logs are so much better that dropping everything into a daily note, I can revisit that topic next time, health etc rather than losing it in a random daily note somewhere. The sources map with it's call outs look beautiful, I'm going to utilise that. The Efforts in On, Ongoing, Simmering and Sleeping is brilliant. The more I look around I see that the actual structure is really minimal and very attractive and the biggest elements is the data within, As I have played around with my vault and been inspired by so many different people I have realised that more of my vault is dedicated to making lots of things look nice without as much accessibility to the information I need to be seeing. I have been highly inspired to edit my vault to utilise a lot of this thinking, but retaining the sense of me. As someone who often falls for shiny object syndrome I am proud of how I have approached this.
