Meanings Are In People Not Words
Danny has had this note in his obsidian for a while and both of us have discussed this topic at length, so we thought we'd dive into this topic a little more. This is going to be the start of a new regular section in the podcast where we talk about our interpretations and meanings of words and how we view things from the business and also the coaching/personal development space.
The word for this episode is: "Truth" and we're discussing what that means to the both of us.
What does truth mean to you? Let us know: https://anchor.fm/notionnerds/message

Overcomplicating Productivity Tools
In this episode, we spoke about how because of the rise in Notion & Obsidian content we're seeing a rise in overcomplicated systems that don't actually work for most people. Jonathan also had a fun rant on "Content Consistency" and his utter despise for it as well as delightful discussions on forcing features into your system because they need to be there, and finally about our thoughts on the "All-In-One" workspace discussion and how reducing complexity in your system isn't really about having one app.
