Leo, something better than onenote

[Rinne]

Leo, i dont know where i heard you say, but i heard you say you found something better than onenote. Would you mind sharing what that thing is?

Would appreciate it. 

[Leo Gura]

I don't remember ever saying that.

[Rinne]

Oh ok. I thought i did. Do you still use onenote as your main commonplace?

@Leo Gura if i may, do you have any thoughts on obsidian in regards to bein a commonplace book or have you decided it is not worth looking into it?

I looked at it. Seems needlessly complicated for my needs.

I like to keep things simple so that the focus is the content, not the software.

i switched to notion from onenote. but i mean onenote is pretty goated.  but i thnk notion has more potential  

[Haribo]

notion has the problem of not being future proof, the company can simply decide to trash all your notes.

Also last i checked it doesn’t work offline, so there is that limitation as well.

Although i have to admit the functionalities are neat.

@Leo Gurain your video about commonplacebook you say you will make a book from Epistimology Book tab. Any plan to relase your books?

Don't use onenote if you're typing classified stuff. I was typing some edgy stuff and all of my notebooks were locked. It said I don't have permission to open them. I contacted microsoft and they dodged my question and wanted to know my name.

I use craft for professional work "second brain" and onenote for personal life. 

[max duewel]

Notion is amazing

[Bando]

@Eyowey wtf were you typing up lmao

[MarkKol]

Just use notion 

[IAmReallyImportant]

Onenote has bugs and is hard to export.

Notion is way better. Everybody uses notion and you should, too.

For me I've been stuck to Evernote because I really like the feature of being able to use typing on your phone. 

[Mips]

Try Simplenote, it’s wonderfully simple.

@Leo Gura What is your purpose, right now, currently, for using a big knowledge/note self-made database, how are you using it nowadays? I know many years ago you used to use it as basically offline version of Wikipedia, but now that you don't really care that much about remembering things, and you're not firmly focused on chasing and hoarding knowledge, then what's the reason?

Is it just purely journaling tool, a way to collect your thoughts, the way to collect all your awakening experiences?

How much has common place book contributed to your overall success in life?

I don't add to my commonplace book much any more. I have transcended my need for it at this point. I mostly use it to take notes/quotes for the book I plan to write.
