Logseq question - eviltoast

And note taking in general I guess.

I have recently started playing around with logseq. It seems interesting, and hopefully it will help me out with some tasks at work and in private. However I have some issues I need feedback on.

  1. How should I turn my notes into a readable report. Currently I’m working on making a list of stuff that’s not working in our department at work. So I now have a good list of stuff in #WorkImprovements. But I feel like rearranging some points and edit things a bit. Can this be done easily in logseq? Or is it better to import my notes and write the report in a different program.

  2. A lot of my stuff is currently just rambling thoughts in the daily journal. I just wanted to start writing stuff down to play around with the app. But it seems like it can get a bit overwhelming if I continue with this. How do you deal with old notes from finished tasks. Or just rambling ideas that you have moved on from.

Seems like a great program overall. But I clearly need to improve my note taking habits to make full use of it.

#Edit. The post didn’t seem to show up in the thread. Trying a edit instead of reposting to see if that helps.

    I’ve migrated from obsidian to logseq and I’d like to mention that at first I was feeling very weird out by the bullet points but after seeing my spouse using it, it kind of clicked for me.

    I’d start by creating an “Index” and linking the thing you want to write about there. You can then decide if you want to write it as bullet points or like checkboxes using TODO at rhe beginning.

    There’s no right way of taking notes, attempting to find the ideal way will just prevent you from writing them. Put the information down and then you can organize it through moving the blocks around and such.

      I actually use both Logseq and Obsidian. It’s not perfect, but Obsidian is more my knowledgebase and Logseq is my journal and sort of TODO manager. I have them all within the same directory so I can reference my knowledgebase, append to it, etc. from within logseq or the inverse. main issue is since logseq loves the bullet points it tends to whack out my headings and stuff in obsidian made notes
