Hello Reader!
Innovations in the tools for thought space have been dizzying this month!
In early 2020 I climbed aboard the Roam Research train to teach digital journaling. I still use Roam as an outlining tool and for making sense of what I read.
āIn a recent tweet, Tiago Forte shared his perspective on the TfT "buzz cycle."ā
What do you think of Tiago's assessment? Hit reply and let me know!
Let's get to our round-up of TfT round-ups!
TOOLS ROUNDUP
Tana
First, if you're looking for a Tana invite, I don't have any, at least not yet. Do hang in there. Your time is coming.
Second, I'm delighted to see @CortexFutura back in the video tutorial business.
āLukas' interstitial journaling workflow in Tana is quite helpful.
Roam
āLisa Marie Cabrelli wrote a novel in Roam!
Congratulations, Lisa!
My wonderful friend Andy Henson continues to challenge our thinking about Roam and TfT structures.
