Learning how to use Logseq can be slightly complex, and watching polished videos probably betrays that fact 🙂 I had a working session with a friend which will hopefully help a few Logseq newbies navigate some of the questions they may have as they approach their new database.

Big shoutout to Leigh for being my guinea pig 🙌🏽

🤓 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.
