This is the concept that I use for different purposes.
Structure Creates Freedom
Dynalist values structures more; the structure creates freedom.
Something do once and with a rest of mind. So my brain could not re-thinking what’s that mean, where is it and so forth. My brain can be freed up and doesn’t have to be thinking about those things.
For example, I use Dynalist for a quick call.
inbox
task with a deadline
road map or plan (wish Dynalist do the friction kanban view)
permanent note for recalling the memory
Connection Creates Creativity
Obsidian values connections more; the connection creates creativity and knowing your boundaries.
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.” - Steve Jobs
For example, I use Obsidian for creating atom note.
connecting ideas
understand my circle of competence
“You don’t have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.” - Warren Buffett
I’m a long-time Dynalist user and started in a similar fashion. Dynalist for projects and Personal Kanban. Obsidian for notes and knowledge.
However I’ve now put everything into Obsidian, based on Dave Allen (of GTD fame) 's advice of putting everything in one “trusted system”. I reckon what I lose by not easily being able to re-order lists nor having reminders I will gain by having everything in one place and being able to link to reference material.
I’m also still prone to keeping too much stuff in my head and ignoring my lists regardless of where they are, so going from having two tools to one can only help!
Just had a play. Fab. Works really well with Obsidian. I just created a sub-folder in my main Obsidian folder/vault. I’m pretty sure I’ll be paying for a license. Kanban and PKM all in markdown and linked… can it get any better?
