    We have probably gone through similar journeys Greg in selecting a tool. I've bounced back and forth from Obsidian, Scrintal and Heptabase..but also finding Heptabase fitting my PKM workflow and how I think/process/learn. I love your content and hope to see more videos specifically using Heptabase!

    @@Greg_Wheeler I started using Craft after I saw what you were doing with it. My challenge is always chasing after the next best tool that it out there. They all seem to have their pros / cons. I started many, many years ago with Evernote. I have loaded half of my life into there. Then Notion came along. Started using that and then Craft. So now I have subscriptions to all of them and I don't want to give up on any one because I have some content in all of them that I want to keep. It would be hard to standardize and move all content to one platform. But I really like what I see with xTiles. I think it could possibly work well with my work and it seems like it does have a cross over function that a lot of the other apps don't. I have really started to love my morning routine with Craft and my Bible study. I don't use it for note taking, but for reading and keeping track of Bible study and notes, it is working really well for me. I think I will keep on Craft for that purpose for now. But I am super curious and intrigued by xTiles. I haven't heard of them before so wouldn't have even known about them if it weren't for you, so the referral certainly was worth it. 🙂

    @@annepollak_education that’s a great question and probably be a future video. Haha but I really like the structure of Heptabase’s meta apps (journal, cards, map, tags, highlight). Easy to use and it just makes sense to me. On top of that, I looove that when I draw connections, Heptabase shows that connection in the metadata. It shows connections to sections, text elements, other cards, etc. With Heptabase, the focus is making sense of things visually. And that aligns with my style of learning. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for sharing these ideas. I found it quite helpful - not the long shower thing as i can fall asleep there, but the read fewer and review more suggestions. I have the collect dots disease, and those two practices form a good counterbalance. I'm experimenting now with just one nonfiction and one fiction book at a time. Taking the time to enjoy and digest them. More time reviewing my notes for zettle material, and more time linking in the idea garden. Again, thanks.

I converted from obsidian a while ago because that got to be too complex for me trying to keep track of how to install and uninstall and configure and navigate all of the complexities that were there. Fortunately found HB not too long ago and determined it was the superior platform for me, except I have a learning curve ahead of me now do use it the way that I want. I’m in the process of trying to consume and digest training videos and yours help me probably more than most so I look forward to seeing new videos from you and going through all of your older ones as well to get me up to speed.
