I’ve Moved To Logseq

Way back in the day when I was first looking into Personal Knowledge Management the two most popular apps on the market were Roam Research and Obsidian. I was attracted to the way Roam was set up, the daily log/journal which would allow for intentional journaling but also a record of what notes I made on what day.

There was one catch though — the price.

As someone who has other subscriptions — the cost of $15 ($20 AU) was to steep for me. Because of this, I went with Obsidian and up until now, it worked great.

Up until recently, I have had some friction.

My daily journals were crowding up my graph (I know I could change it but didn’t know at the time). It started when I took my journal out of Obsidian and into Evernote. That was better and for about 2 weeks it worked. However, using two apps was clunky for me, as I like to keep track of when I had thoughts.

About a week ago — I discovered Logseq and it changed everything for me.

It started with just doing a few daily entries recording my thoughts and I was going to leave it at that. As I had just organised my entire Obsidian vault. Then I woke up one morning and it was announced the Readwise plugin had been released.

This was a gamechanger for me.
