Episode notes

Efficiency in idea mapping is hindered by traditional tools like Microsoft Word, which slow down the thinking process. Using tools like Obsidian allows for quicker clustering and repositioning of ideas, enabling faster decision-making on which ideas to keep or discard. This speed keeps users in flow, as they are not disrupted by technical limitations or formatting issues, leading to actions feeling more automatic and enabling faster progression through tasks.

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.
