Logseq can be tricky to get into as a new user, and laying a solid foundation of mental models can really help with that. James has been off and on of Logseq for the last few months, so we had a call to get him back up and running stronger than before 🙂 Hopefully there are some cool learnings in here for you too.
🤓 LOGSEQ COURSE
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Want to learn how to be more effective in Logseq? My course "Logseq Mastery" is now available here 👉🏽 https://www.logseqmastery.com 🙌🏽
If you're struggling to manage all your notes and information across personal, professional and academic life, then this is for you. I've built out a structured approach to mastering Logseq from the bottom-up, so that you don't need to navigate through a mass of disparate YouTube tutorials.
Logseq is a powerful combination of a text editor, an outliner, and a linked-network builder, but there is admittedly a learning curve. The course has a wealth of write-ups, videos and diagrams to smooth your transition and quickly master the set of tools available to you in Logseq.
