Selects and Fixed Sets in Capacties
มุมมอง 5Kปีที่แล้ว
Single and multi-selects are powerful Capacities features that connect two objects together. They can be further customised by the presence of a fixed set. Very useful, but it was a little bit difficult for me to understand when first getting started on Capacities. This is a reference video to help you get unstuck if you are also in this situation.

Super useful advice. Thanks so much for posting it!
How did you create the "+ Project", "+ Milestone", "+ Spark", etc buttons to the top of your daily templates? I can't seem to figure this out :\
add a date property to the object type then the button is added automatically :)
@@PKM_Beth TY! loving your videos, i feel a little overwhelmed getting started, but you're videos are helping me ease into creating a second brain
In Notion when you create a relation it lets you choose to include the reverse relation automatically. e.g., if I make a relation Person is 'author of' a Book, it can automatically make a 'authored by' relation from Book to Person. Is there any way to do that in Capacities?
Not yet!
I love the idea of „essence“. I always try to capture as much of myself as possible! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and processes. you are a huge inspiration 😍
That's really kind, thank you.
I would love a tutorial on how to build something like this because I'm way out of my element. Your setup looks clean, interwoven and far-reaching without being cluttered.
Beth, do you have any Thoughts about GTD ?i'm curios on you about this. i move from notion to capacities recent
it'd be more helpful avoiding zooming everywhere, that was very annoying, because personally my brain was just jumping around without understanding. it's better to have a clear view of the full page.
This is incredibly inspiring. Thank you for sharing this!
lol. “Full transparency, I work for Capacities full time”. I’m sure that doesn’t colour a bit of this. 🙄
Aye i didnt knew pkmbeth is the girl from the capacities vids. Beth u da goat
In the daily note, Beth has the buttons 'Milestones' and 'Sparks' to automatically these objects to the day. Does anybody know how she achieved this? I cannot see a way to add these buttons, therefore any help/advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance
Add a date time property to any object type you’d to create from a button on the daily note :) so my sparks and milestones object types have many properties, a date time property is one of them.
Thanks Beth. I've got it sorted
I love your transparency in moving systems. I battle myself as I use Obsidian and Standard Notes but I am relooking at Capacities now that they have a Local-first Privacy mindset that they are shifting too and I like that the exports are still in Markdown so I can always use Obsidian if I have too.
It’s one of the things I feel most strongly about! Systems will always change! Can confirm that you can export your spaces to markdown :)
Hİ I cant create a habit tracker.n Is there a video about it
Great video! Is there a way to copy ur template (sounds a lot of think behind it!), In Notion you can copy templates. Quick question on Capacities, I have created collections but they are not sorted alphabetically.
Sorry, no templates but I could do a set up video if that would be helpful so you can follow along?
@@PKM_Beth Yes please make a video of how to setup the basics for this layout. I really like how this is organized but having trouble trying to achieve this same layout.
@@PKM_Beth I second a setup video!
Excellent as always. What is so funny is yesterday I added a todo in my Cap vault to "come up with a way to better track items I start and don't have time to finish". Then I opened Medium and there you were. Synchronicity at it's finest!
That’s great to hear!!
I'm starting to use capacities and i didn't get collections, i was using tags instead (notion mania) and now i understood it a lot better, thank you beth
Your voice was not audible, it was too feeble. Appreciate if you could speak louder.
How would you create an unsorted "inbox" for example for new singel masterclasses or something that is not sorted in the richt bucket yet?
I just use an inbox tag that I pin to my sidebar. I tag anything I'm not ready to review yet with #inbox and I go through it about once a week.
Would you have class notes (Masterclasses, courses, memberships etc) also in the Media type? And how would you structure that when you have a lot of them?
Yes I used to put lecture notes as media objects, and I tagged them with #lecture/#course etc. It's perfectly ok to separate them too. Happy to give more concrete advice on this or any other questions at beth@capacities.io :)
@@PKM_Beth : Perfect! I will shout out in an email ❤️
Is there a way to "archive" the object types that is no longer relevant? Or grouping object types together? As f.ex the object types you cannot edit. So the left side menu do not get so cluttered?
No archiving, I just drag unused object types to the bottom on the sidebar.
I am using capacities still didn’t figured out how to use collaboration with users, in notion it is very simple I just share it and add users email they can access also edit them
Capacities doesn't have collaboration, it's a tool for individuals.
Thank you for showing your real space 🙏🩷 Demos are so hard to really "see" how everything works.
Im new to capacities may i have your template to get all the left sidebar object please?
Capacities doesn't have space templates I'm afraid
Im new to capacities may i have your template to get all the left sidebar object please?
I am new to PKM, could you please show how to make it from scratch on capacities?
I do not recommend using this application. I've been experiencing instability for two days, everything simply disappeared. I've restarted the browser and installed the app and nothing. Worst of all, without realizing it I created an account with the same email as last time and the tool simply accepted it. How can an application create two accounts with the same email? It is an application with critical errors and low confidence
Thank you so much for this overview! I have been wanting to gather all of this in 1 place and find a way to build PARA and goals inside Capacities. I started to play around with it, but got overwhelmed on the how 😂
Have you seen the PARA video on the Capacities channel? That should help you get set up! th-cam.com/video/3SbY2QmSryc/w-d-xo.html
Yes. Saw that one right before this one. Guessing I have to watch it again while trying to replicate the ideas 💡
Beth, is your capacities course no longer available ?
The course was updated by Francesco recently (toolschool.co/learn-capacities/), as my version was old. I now work full time for Capacities so make a lot of content on their channels :)
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.
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!
@@PKM_BethThanks so much for replying. I’ll check this out and see if it captures what I’m aiming to do. 😊 Keep up your great work and congrats on joining the capacities team. I hope you continue to flourish in all your endeavors. You seem like a very genuine person.
@@vocal_jay Thank you so much, that means a lot :)
Very useful, love the organisation and how it is all connected.
@PKMbeth Which Video Editor do you use, for this pans and zooms?
Screenstudio!! 100% worth the money
@@PKM_Beth Glad to know! I'll check it out.
How did I miss seeing this. I love your content Beth. Watching this makes me lean towards Capacities again. The back link in the daily note to see what you have been working on is huge. I leant to Anytype because you can have Galleries and Kanban views etc. Then I was reminded about Timestripe and got distracted 😂. I love your idea of essence, you described it perfectly. I swear you are the person I would be if all these digital tools existed when I was your age.
I'm a new capacities addict - been watching your videos like NETFLIX :) Used Logseq before but CAPACITIES seem a much better fit. Thanks for all the tutorials.
What screen recorder are you using?
screenstudio.
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!
This is so interesting!! I tried sprints out last year, but just for work. Hadn't thought do include personal ones at all. Love this, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the video, Beth! I've registered using your link but received no trial. Any idea what's wrong?
Thank you for your excellent video. Do you know if Capacities app allows you to link databases with the self referal function? Thank's in advance
You're welcome! Do you mean linking to all days/weeks for example?
Great video! Are you still using Day One as your journaling app?
I do my daily review in capacities (just a log of what I did really), but still have day one for more in depth things, and I still have a bunch of automations that add things to day one for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your life in Capacities. Could you also do a video of your daily/weekly/monthly workflow capturing the notes and updating it in your other objects? I'd love to see how your Object Type Goals are connected to your Home Page and other periodic Objects (week/monthly/quarterly). It would be fantastic to have a mind map for a visual representation of the relationships and links between all your objects and your Home Page.
Thats a great way of doing unlinked references. That was something holding me back from transferring from Logseq so thank you. Also, the idea of intentionality makes a lot of sense. You should see the mess my Logseq is in!
Obsessions: Cinnamon Raisen Bagels - I am in America at the moment doing some research, and I have become obsessed with these bagels myself to the point that it is a bit like a crack addiction
Haha no way!
Having your videos and you explaining your reasoning behind your choices is a game changer for me, totally! Hope to see other content soon, thank you very much!
I'm so glad! Thank you :)
Something I can't wrap my head around - and therefore struggle to get started with Capacities - is multi-level connections. Something like the below. How would you go about creating those kinds of connections? Food >Fruit >>Strawberry >>Orange >Veg >>Cabbage >>Brocolli >>Potato >Sundries >>Salt >>Black Pepper
I guess it is just me, but I can't find any content picker in any view. All I get is just a list of all tags, without the icon for content picking.
I’ve been using capacities on and off pretty much since it has existed lol. It thinks how I think & I love it. There’s not much content about it still so can you please show me how to use it as a project manager where I can delegate to my VA & a content planner. I’m curious to see how it can be set up in an efficient way
inb4 she's gonna transfer jobs and work at notion and use notion again haha
I was kind of struggling with implementing my dailies into the calendar and connecting it with a functional and comfy home. This video will help a lot with that - thank you so much!
Thank you for the informative video.
Thanks for watching Stephen!
