How I Built My Daily Notes Page Template in Roam Research through 1 year of daily use and refinement.

This will teach you how and why I built the Daily Notes template I use in Roam Research after 1 year of daily use and refinement. — One year ago, when I started using Roam Research, I struggled with the sheer emptiness of the daily notes page.

Your identity is shaped by your words.

How 3 words helped me overcome a decade-long addiction. — “We don’t drink”. These three words changed my life. This was the most powerful instance of identity shift in my life. I was maybe 3 months sober at the time. My girlfriend and I were on a date night, trying out Mi Taco, a new (and delicious) taco restaurant in…

How I went from broke and without hope to being a financially stable person with a working budget.

In 2018 I was $47,000 in debt when I applied James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” and Jesse Mecham’s “You Need A Budget” to acknowledge my situation and make a dramatic change. — Like many, I have long struggled with maintaining finances. It began with taking on debt in the form of student loans to pay for school. By 2017, I found myself amassing a pretty significant amount of credit card debt.

We all want to be heard. To be seen. To be understood. And yet, it seems impossible for us to truly express ourselves to anyone. Be it emotional hangups, trauma, anger, or just not having enough time to speak, we cannot fully convey what is in our minds. Be it…
