31 Days With Tana: What I Love & What's Driving Me Nuts

I am a non-techie Tools for Thought practitioner who has been using Tana since October 4.

Tana engineers are releasing multiple new features each week, and I'm still learning how to harness the tool's strengths for my personal use cases.

Here are two observations -- so far.

A Feature I Love

Supertags paired with "instance"

Building #instances into my morning journaling practice populate items tagged with my 3 most important priorities is delightful.

A Feature Driving Me Nuts

New panes don't work like Roam sidebars.

I work off a MacBook Pro that limits my screen surface, and I have terrible short-term memory.

Currently spending way too much time fiddling with the panel and multiple side-by-side browser windows.

Still clumsy with command-m as a shortcut.

My 31-Day Tana Review

  1. At this point, I don't see myself writing content in Tana.

  2. It is absolutely a tremendous productivity tool. Thank you, @rjnestorfor your coaching!

I still have much to learn.

However, I'm excited to see how Tana upgrades my journaling practice, and learn about hidden features in Tana.

Yes, I'm still using LogSeq, Roam, and Obsidian for specific functions.
