> Get the right kind of music going, it's time to focus 😎 ## Brainstorming ### Topic %%What is the big idea you're thinking about? Why are you writing this? %% - general productivity vs ali abdaal's productivity? - general productivity has more reach, but i don't need credibility if I do the generic one - harder to sell productivity system ### References %%Are there any existing notes, resources, or experiences that come to mind related to the topic? For each thing, why is it related and how can it be helpful? %% ### Brain Dump %% Write out any other thoughts that come to mind, then create a cognitive scaffolding that combines your references and brain dump. Break it down into branches and sub-ideas for further elaboration %% ## Organized Ideas %% A place to start your rough (or maybe even final) draft. What writing framework or checklist best works to guide you towards your ideal finished product? %% ### Two Apps There are two main apps you need to create this to act as each part of the productivity system. - Build it from scratch - Right now I'm using Akiflow, but you can use other apps as well ### Preface - Obsidian ### Direction - Wheel of life - Make note called wheel of life - Could technically just make a list of your ideal values, but that doesn't look good - Instead, we can download a community plugin for Charts - Go there - Enable. To make a chart, we use code block - three backticks - ![[Wheel of life manual chart]] - Community plugins - Templater plugin, create a template on right click - Create area template - Yearly goals - Need to create new goal note in Obsidian - To show that it is a yearly goal, can create a property called timeframe - When you fill out the note you can type out what kind it is, but I'm going to make it a link to a note - Then, we can link it to the area by creating a property for it - Area -> - Looking a bit empty, going to add some sections in it - In ali's workshop, he suggests the following templates - This also sets up how we can create quarterly goals as well - But what if you wanted to have a different planning method for yearly and quarterly goals? - Now, we can continue working on ### Drive - Weekly projects - Create a thing here - Properties - Link to goal - Link to area - Joyful days - Journals plugin - Focused hours - Day planner - If you want to use another app, I use akiflow instead ## Potential Outputs %% What can I use these ideas for? Content, new notes, etc. %%
