    Thank you for opening up our minds to what can be done in this great app. I recently came across a YTer that created a "forever journal" in apple notes. I really liked the idea. I can imagine that their is an easy way to do that in Capacities but I am not sure how. Can you provide any insight? ref: th-cam.com/video/MSv2FJJUJKg/w-d-xo.html. The key thing that appeals to me is to me able to see past journal entries naturally arise each day. If you show me a way to do this I will move all of my journal entries that are all over the place into one central location.

    • @PKM_Beth
      @PKM_Beth 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment! Because Capacities is centred around a calendar, you can go to any day in the past or future and begin a daily note. If you want multiple journal entries per date, create a 'journal' object type with a date property. That will give you a button to quick add a journal entry from the calendar. The workflow would be to use the mini-calendar on the right hand side to choose a date to write on, click "journal" and get writing. That will automatically fill the date property in too. When you go back to the central calendar after writing one or more journal entries, they will all be visible in that one central calendar page. Check out this video to see some of this in action: th-cam.com/video/iOIZxb96st8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T2aWVZTZ_mQvuqOY hope that helps!

    Thank you so much for sharing your setup. It is really helping me wrap my head around how I want to set up, which is by Personal Sprints. I like to break my goals and habits into 3 week sprints plus 1 week of retrospective and planning for the next sprint. I break each sprint down into (3) areas of focus - Health and Key Relationships, Quality of Life and Personal Growth and Career. I do have weekly reviews to apply learnings and course corrections and to make sure I’m staying on track. And I maintain a backlog of areas/projects to consider for future sprints. I’m currently using 4 different apps to do this, but a LifeOS would be wonderful!
