A Love Letter to LogSeq: How It Became an Essential Part of My Life as a Startup Founder

Date:

Today, I want to share my love for LogSeq, a fantastic tool integrated into my daily routine. It's helped me work, think, and connect with others. As a testament to its value, I launch LogSeq first thing in the morning daily. So let me take you on a journey through how this versatile app has become a part of my life. My goal with this post is to inspire you to try it!
A Warm Welcome from LogSeq

One of the small joys I experience every morning is opening LogSeq to today's date. This simple feature centers my focus on the present. Then, I scan for anything tagged with today's date. Usually, my past self has pushed tasks or thoughts into the future for some reason.

Creating My Daily Plan

Each morning, I use a template in LogSeq to help me get organized and introspective. This template includes sections such as:

  1. Gratitude Journal
  2. Morning Journal (featuring five questions to hone in on my values)
  3. Daily intentions (a judgment-free list of things I want to do, think, or feel)

These thoughtful prompts encourage me to start my day with purpose and self-awareness.

Journals: A Space for Notes and Reflections

Throughout the day, I return to LogSeq to jot down notes and musings. For instance, I copy and paste a meeting title from my calendar to create a new section. Then, I take meeting notes and action items underneath them. This habit lets me search and find my thoughts later. I have years of this stuff, and it's all accessible.

My CRM

One of the aspects of LogSeq that I appreciate most is its ability to function as a personal CRM. I can create dedicated homepages for everyone I've written about using square brackets. Each page lets me recall a history of interactions, meetings, and other details. It feels like having a personal assistant keeping track of my network.

A Memory Boost

Since using LogSeq, I've noticed that people have begun complimenting my "amazing memory." While I can't take all the credit, LogSeq has given me skills I wouldn't otherwise have been able to pull off.
