damn, your content and editing are fire!

There is also a demand for video tutorials and content creators.

I was also getting distracted with notion features but then I started writing plain notes without trying to create systems around databases. I tried to use obsidian but there's an extra hustle of managing the vault syncing and apps in all the devices I own. As I own multiple devices, notion just works with a browser in all the devices. Just because notion has all the features, doesn't mean we have to use it all - random notes with simple tags work for me.

Literally me ❄😶😊

What Obsidian plugin do you use to get that kanban board setup?

so helpful! Thank you so much

This video is so relatable. Everything you said is what I am myself feeling

Is it paid.

To create a daily note to remind you to drink a glass of water or check your email is going a bit too far for me.

Your animations and transitions are so nice and smooth. I really I like your ideas and process. So as the title says, I will steal your work flow 😁

"The past pandemic or so" has been my measure of time for the last four years lol

Just wow, you spoke reality❤, I am on my journey to PM.I would love to expand my circle!

You just took the words right out of my mouth. Great video

Notion was such a time wasting hype train, at the end of the day, you spend more time working on Notion than on anything else... Notion is like... Wordpress. It's a blank page staring at you unless you install theme and plugin(s). What time-wasters do with Notion is.. try to design their own custom dashboards (i.e., 'theme') and write their own plugins ('templates', i.e., "12 Week Year", etc.) You waste insane time working Notion itself rather than using it as a tool. I hate it.. I left and now use dedicated apps for each puposed, out of the box.

Used Evernotes for years, but the paid model sucks. It limits to one notebook and nine notes, and constantly pops up an upgrade offer. My notes are often summaries of my online searches, like the top 3 auto repair shops in my town, and I'm not going to pay a monthly subscription for that. Bye bye Evernotes.

I am in this exact situation omg. I know in my gut I need to change for my own mental health!

I thought about this many times, But i don't know why my mind is drifting towards product management. I kind of like think i should be sitting in the board room making better decisions than writing codes i don't even know the business parts. Thank God it's all beginning to make sense to me now.

Why do people put background music? It's annoying.

Could you please give us your product management reading picks? I just saw Inspired and Shape Up on your bookshelf and I am so curious! 😊 (Also, your video is so inspiring... i am going through a similar experience and currently doing a part time MBA alongside my software engineering job to help in the transition ❤)

Thanks for sharing 🌹

I've been a developer for good 9 years, and I hate it to the point I started thinking to go study and get into more manual labor job.. but now our product architect (like a PM for one team) is leaving for 6 months and I'm going to cover for her, with some prospects of fully transitioning to product later. Super excited! I was previously involved into tasks PM does and I always liked it a lot more than looking at code 😅

Thank you so much for your effort of sharing your experience in this video! It is so nice that you packed your experience through years into polished thoughts and video demonstration to help people make their choice, thank you for your caring

0:47 I don't really understand why markdown language is easy to transfer to any other application🤔like when I try to transfer it to Word to share to people, Word can't recognize Markdown language...So i have to reedit the whole text once before forward it to someone else. Can you tell me how to share the text in obsidian to others please?😢

I am exactly at the same junction. I have been working as a Software engineer for no of years but now I am ready to pivot my career toward Product Manager. I feel that having the in-depth technical knowledge of the Tech stack can give me an edge as a Product Manager. Can someone share an advice on how to land my 1st position as a Product Manager/Owner. My resume is full of Software engineering positions and I lost my position recently during a round of lay-offs at my firm. All the new positions that I am offered are for the SE positions and not Product Management. Does completing a few Product Owner certificate along with Scrum/Agile certificate helps in this endeavor. What are your thoughts ?

Because women like telling other people what to do instead of doing it, this is why most PMs are all women.

The thing that made me quit Notion pretty much right after starting to use it is that it doesn't work offline. What's the point of meticulously taking all those notes, organizing content into databases and building an entire second brain if you can't access it when the wifi is down or it takes ages to load on your phone because of a slow data connection??

software engineers are the scapegoats of the industry. all pressure and blame goes to them and all praise and credit goes to sales marketing and product managers. the only saving grace is the pay (sometimes)

@rachel friendly suggestion please add some brightness and contrast to get more view and grow your channel, especially this video is looking so dull, Hope its helpful

You blew my mind with the preview option for Obsidian. That is now a total gamechanger for me

When I first discovered Notion, I was overjoyed with the customization options. I was high on making sure all my pages were organized and aesthetically pleasing... to the point where I lost the plot completely and became stuck in a false sense of productivity. I then stepped back and redid all my Notion pages, keeping everything as simple as possible. Now I only open it when I actually have something to do, instead of endlessly fiddling and tweaking the pages.

I'm going to school for Software development and I have discovered that I really don't enjoy coding. I'm not that bad at it but I don't really get excited for it.

Ohhhhh tinuturo sa Finance ang python?

Which shortcuts?

💪😎

I guess I need to watch the video again because I am not understanding her point of why it is actually better. Notion does have a learning curve but once you get past that it becomes a powerful second brain. When you get use to customizing things the way you like it you get use to how you customize and it becomes second nature.

I feel that engineering can be hard for women, because it can be lonely and to focused on the technical, rather than the people and the why.

I am on the other side of the fence. I work in product and I want to transition to software engineering. The product role is very stressful and the life/work balance not always the best. I always felt that the developers are the actual heroes. I am a bit conflicted when I read all the posts.🤔

Recently started using Obsidian, thanks for sharing!

0:45 " so if you are maybe on the fence about either notion or obsidian then maybe this video is for you" This video couldn't have come at a better time. I've been using Evernote since 2015. Been thinking of migrating ever since it started getting ridiculously slow and having sync issues. The "50 notebooks and 1 notebook" limit was the last straw for me. I'm a legacy user! I already have 400 ish notes for crying out loud! I wasn't willing to pay yearly for a basic note taking app that crawled at a snail's pace. I imported my Evernote notes to Notion a week ago. It's nice and all, but pretty slow, bloated and with too many bells and whistles. I've wanted to move to Notion ever since Ali Abdaal made a video on it 4 years ago but it seemed too intimidating then. Obsidian seems a better option for casual, lazy users like me, not to mention it is lightweight and has offline support since it's all local. Just wish it had free sync for Android and a web version.

So you blame the tool for its too "good" and too customizeable instead of looking into yourself and maybe that your discipline is your problem in the first place that you spend days customizing Notion instead of working...Applause.. Just get to work dont blame it on the tool..

So what I learned from this is that obsidian is the same as notion...

for me I don’t take my notion so seriously so i love the fact that it is almost like a hobby at this point. i love creating/customizing new databases and pages and improving my pages. that being said I don’t take it seriously because I’m not in school and don’t use it for work or anything so I mainly use it for reading tracking and personal writing , habit tracking, agenda, etc.

"promo sm" 🔥
