Episode notes

A sense of control is absolutely paramount to a lot of almost everything. When we have that, we are world builders. We are building our own worlds. That does give us a sense of control. I think it's extremely therapeutic. And so, you know, for people who want to learn, they have a clear goal in mind. But sometimes it's, hey, the world's a crazy place. I want to just kind of call my thoughts a bit and go somewhere where I have control.

Nick Milo is a YouTuber, blogger, and creator of the Linking Your Thinking Workshop, where he guides people of all different backgrounds to learn how to bring curiosity and joy back into notetaking.

We talk about why Nick transitioned from Evernote to Obsidian, the power of link-based thought and map-making, how students can become more engaged with their learning, and how we can use the concepts of flow and gamification to make real life more enjoyable.
