Go Fast to Go Slow: Using Digital (AI) Tools to Free Up Time for (More) Analogue Time & Work
Inspired by a Sam Altman interview on his use of analog notebooks and pen.
In this video we explore how digital tools such as AI can be used to free up more time for analogue work. Sam Altman of OpenAI talked in a recent interview about how he writes copious amounts of notes using pen and paper in a spiral bound notebook. He also talked about how he tears the pages out to keep and use.
Here's the Sam Altman video excerpt: th-cam.com/video/6pxmdmlJCG0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PYKzxcoiIAhU7EZc&t=2658
I discuss the advantages of using a William Hannah notebook and movable note cards that can be incorporated into my Zettelkasten system.

Hey, whatever works for you, just go with it. HOWEVER, I run the conflict of having iMessage on all devices vs. just one device. My new task to manage is clearing all the message that are duplicated on the multiple phones, the Mac, and the Apple Watch.

I've been battling over the digital / analogue... being old school, I keep returning to the pocket notebooks, a thin (Pilot cavalier) fountain pen, and some tiny Muji felt pens for a bit of colour. I'm trying to become more sketchnote than linear notes. My current workflow is fleeting random notes in a small (cheap) notebook sitting inside my pocket Luchtturm 1917... more important permanent notes, into the Luchtt. I then photograph the pages (every few weeks) and add them to my Goodnotes app (ipad) with plenty of room around the photo.

    Great video, thanks for it. I have the same WH A5 binder (but without the coffee on it.... :-) ..), love it & their paper. Never thought of your excellent idea of putting index cards in it for ZK usage. Would like to try it for my ZK...but what punch are you using for your cards? Thanks!

    I realized my most constructive thinking happens when I lay in bed at night, when nothing distracts me. The problem is that I forget a lot of these "great ideas" the next day. Probably sitting at the desk with a pen and paper only would have the same pros without the same cons. The only con might be that it's not as easy to have conditions for it during the day.

      I am the same - sometimes, when I am waking I have this weird lucid state where I have amazing ideas and/or I am writing some amazing letter or essay or whatever.... And then, when I try to capture it later in the day - it's gone! Pen and paper by the bed might be the best option...?

      Same but when i kept pen and paper or even wrote on mobile, i found later when i read them they were not that wonderful at least most of them, yet its true the blood flow to brain helps a lot, I also guess maybe the brain enters some kind of dream state while laying down where things feel they make sense while they might not be, where creativity is high while rationalizing or critical thinking is not.

    Very interesting views and good points. I recently made the move back to paper and am currently trying to figure out good 'hybrid' model for myself. The experience of working with paper and written notes certainly has a better imact on our brains and supports a deeper thinking. And, yeah, please try to speak slower - another non-native English speaker here :) Greetings from Poland!

      Yes, it is hard to shift completely from digital - here we are now on digital, right?! My challenge has been to slowly rediscover the benefits of pen and paper and this is going to be an increasing focus of my life - this is why I created the channel. I will make every effort to speak more slowly (I am still new to this whole video making gig) and greetings from the UK to Poland! Thanks again for your comment :)

    Your presentation subject is interesting but i had difficulty understanding your words because it's too fast and words don't come out right. If i may suggest, talking a bit slower and articulate better each word would be a great help for listeners that do not have British English as a native language.

    • @justpenpaper
      @justpenpaper 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Understood - I will make an effort to speak at a slower pace next time. I do talk fast when it's a subject that I am passionate about, so thanks for calling me out!

      Just slow the video down and use subtitles. Language isn't meant for beginners. It is communication and a slower pace would delay the message. Anyways, you cannot always get what you want, just deal with it.
