Trying Logseq at work
I'm giving Logseq a shot for my work notes, and so far I'm cautiously optimistic. While I have no intention of moving my personal notes to something like Logseq, it might just be the ticket for work stuff.
Why bother? Well, my Obsidian approach to work notes has evolved into a free-flowing version of interstitial journaling, where I dump almost everything into my daily notes and then use tags heavily to string related content and tasks together. Logseq seems designed around that workflow. So while my approach feels scrappy and cobbled together in Obsidian1, it feels at least vaguely robust in Logseq.
Plus, it dawned on me recently that I mostly rely on the last couple months of notes at work. That was freeing. It means I don't need to migrate everything to Logseq. I'll hop between two systems for a while, and with each passing day, Obsidian will become a bit less relevant until I'm barely touching it anymore. At least, that's my theory.
Also, this speaks to me:
From Logseq's Contribute page.
I used and loved Workflowy way back in the day. I used and loved Org mode. I never used Roam, but I use and love Obsidian for similar purposes. Don't know a lot about TiddlyWiki but I've heard great things, and Logseq's transclusion of related content is really cool.
Logseq: I smell what you're stepping in and I like it.
More to come as I get deeper into the experiment.
That said, I credit Obsidian for giving me the idea for this workflow to begin with. One day I clicked on a tag and saw the impressive amount of context and history Obsidian reveals in the search UI. That's when I started wondering, instead of organizing all my notes into different files, can I just use tags?↩
