Anyone using Notion for Journaling?

  1. Not sure if you were intentionally funny, but you were. Funny.

  2. Hello Laissez Faire,

    What is happening buddy?

    re read my post, I added more.

    No, I am not being funny, just being truthful and adding my comments.

    My stance on journaling is it is a waste of time and effort. What can you learn from 1 or 2 trades you take today that will help you tomorrow? Nothing. I learned from myself, the more freedom I have, the better I am. I took the trade, so obviously I took it for good reason and exit where I exit for reason, so why must I journal that for? What is there to journal? Its my trade, my results, my outcome. There is nothing to be learned from journaling anything.

    The market volume is marvelous and marvelous 250 trading days per year.

  3. Reflections/journals/thinking is good, or even vital, for success....but don't overdo it or overthink it.

    A trader ultimately has to be forward looking, forward thinking and forward moving.
    Trading successfully is all about going from complete sloppiness to enriched refinement. Similar to creating and inventing the nuclear bomb.

  4. Hello MacBookProHo,

    I believe a better statement is observation is vital and note taking.

    Those links were great @tiddlywinks, much appreciated.

    Santi, really drove the privacy aspect home - if it's free, you are most likely the product.


    I found this vid to distinguish productivity vs knowledge building very well but it also put Remnote in the running.

    Yea, Santi seems to be a fun guy! A character for sure.

    Not sure of the context of the privacy aspect you mention, but, both Obsidian and Logseq use md (markdown) files that reside locally. In both progs, your data is your data, physically and intellectually. I think it's Roam that has a terrible reputation for privacy.

    Yes, it was Santi’s argument as to why Notion could carry risk based those two that are more pro privacy.

    An enjoyable perspective on Obsidian;

    https://thesweetsetup.com/the-art-of-note-making/#:~:text=That is the point where,from my own Obsidian vault.


    Example workflows;

    Interesting in how as I experiment with these different apps, their strengths and weaknesses come to light.

    Obsidian is powerful. Are you @tiddlywinks using any plug-ins?


    edit: Looking like your suggestion of Obsidian and Logseq is a winning combo;

    The "templater" plugin is like adding an entire scripting language to Obsidian. As a coder in a previous life, I really like that!

    And the "dataview" plugin basically allows some slice and dice database functionality to your vault(s).

    Of course, the calendar plugin is just that... used all the time. LOL

    Glad I could help you out.

    After all this discussion, I spent a few minutes over my Saturday morning coffee on Youtube...

    This is just a "random" pick regarding plugins. It's relatively current, short, and has a good pace to it.... you may find it useful.
