a lot of feedback - worth blogging about?

Desktop: Depending on the type of content, hit a particular hotkey that runs

@keyboardmaestro

to save the URL + Page title to my clipboard in custom tagged formatting (differs for podcasts, articles, etc.) Open

@RoamResearch

and paste in. Link to relevant pages and projects.

Requires a paired practice of regularly going back to saved content (I set the bar at 15-20 mins daily minimum) and reading, taking lit notes, linking it up to related notes, and marking it complete iOS flow is save to

@draftsapp

. Transfer to

@RoamResearch

once back on desktop.

How do you enforce the daily practice? Do you have a separate app that reminds you and manage that?

Happens by ritual habit. Open Roam in the morning, pick a few items in the review backlog, set a 15 min timer. Usually goes for 30-40 mins once you're writing and interlinking, organically leads into working on articles and talks and projects in progress. Good start to the day
