So back in November last year
I checked out an application called walling and it was application that sort of blended
Concepts of basic checklist abilities with the likes of Trello and sort of overlaying that with a notion esque
design and in today's video
what I want to do is check out some of the newer features inside of walling and I want to also dive into
How it trying or is trying at the moment to compare itself to many of the newer applications like obsidian and Rome in
introducing something called graph view
I'll talk through it. It's not as advanced to say Rome
But we'll dive into it in today's video before we begin a word from our sponsor
so folks this month here on key productive is one of my
Highly recommended project management tools and that is click up now
Click up is one of the fastest growing productivity and project management
Platforms in the last two years and it's only been around for two years. They already have millions of users and over
100,000 teams are using them at the world's best companies like Google Airbnb uber and Nike now teams
Traditionally use spreadsheets email chat and many project managers, but there's a big trend towards teams using just one application
Most teams replace three or more apps just by switching to click up so that process in itself moving into one
application saves teams so much time now click up has features like task Docs and goals to keep
organized in one place and have fewer meetings emails and
daily switches between multiple applications and it's perfect for all types of teams from two to two thousand and from
Farming projects to even building airplanes on top of that they have an extremely generous free forever plan
You can literally add unlimited users and unlimited work to their app for free
So guys you can find out more about click up below. I recommend checking them out
They also do have a just me plan if you wanted to switch to some of your own personal work, too
So thanks again to click up the sponsoring this month here on keep productive
So here we are on walling as a said check that out a while ago as you can see
If you compare it to the last video we did it has changed. It's a little bit neater
I think the last time I checked a tad you was one of the first or the first week it was released and but
Actually on the left hand side. You didn't have some of these new entries
So when we start with some of the newer features, so on the top left you had what was called desk?
But now you have a daily desk
So some of the ways in concept that they've used
Has worked and that's minimize abou so you can drop it out
Very minimal this application and you can also see they've added in these really
attractive
designs to make it a little bit more friendly very bare, like bare notes, like if you're someone that follows that
so from here
What you can do is you can do very simply collect ideas and they want you to start like dumping
Articles they want you to start dumping and you know short notes to yourself so you can double tap
To enter a note and it's very similar to what it was last time. So in this demonstration, I'll just put you know
like book
recommendation and
below I can maybe add something like the power of
habit and
you can add for example check lists multiply the heading the
Link etc and can even since at all of the other staff link dividers quote codes files and let's add an image
for this demonstration
So as you can see very
Simple very easy to use but this is sort of new button at the top and you can add what's called a node to it
And it's essentially a tag
If you put it in sort of layman's terms
So I could basically connect this one to book and you can add another tag
If you want to it, in this case, it could be product business as well. So if connected it to two nodes
as part of my account
so as you can see the collecting of my ideas is
Centralized to today, but you can go to the next day and all of the other ones will disappear
So you could for example start doing your to-do list for the next day or week in advance
And have sort of a clear concept every day very similar to canvas like applications like Mila notes
This helps you to maybe
Refocus on a certain item. You can also have pinned items. We actually had a few
Pinned items last time and you can toggle between having them pinned or not
Just showing the pin ones. They might be the most important things so you can clip what's or whatever you like book recommendations
articles that you need to read
Checklists that you need to get done. You can open them up and start interacting with them there
so they're you know, very expansive in terms of being able to immerse yourself into them and you can also
Go back and forward using this link here, but the real magic is in the connect area. So if I went to connect
You'd get these sort of like three tabbed areas one called wizard one could graph and one called folders
So if I want to find a business-related book that has both the business and the book tag or note
Then you can see that that pops up there. So for example, if I want to do the same with say
courses anything that I've been calling courses
ideas or notes that include that then I can have that there so the nodes are essentially a way to
Connect up existing things and the cool thing that you can do with this is if say you wanted a full wall
in
Walling you can create these things called walls
then essentially you can organize a bit like a Trello board to some extent if I wanted to for example make a wall out of
This I could go ahead and copy to a wall and create a brand new wall based on a book and business nodes
So that would help me to
Drill down bits of information inside of my account and that can be very helpful when you've got a lot of links
you've got a lot of files you've got a lot of information you're adding to and
the company
Actually mentioned that they do want to trying to become some form of second brain for you with you adding this information
so once you're happy with the nodes
You've chosen you can go over to the graph view and that connects up any of the areas that for example
You've got connected up
so in this case
we've got business books and you can quickly enter down but the cool thing is you can move this around and as you add more
Naturally things will connect up. So in this case, I may have booked business in a book art book
Productivity book science book our history, etc, etc, with all of the different areas and aspects of life and they would get bigger
I'll show you a few demonstrations of what it actually looks like when it's working in full capacity
so a very very simplified version of what Rome is doing very because you're not able to necessarily
Connect up notes like that. This is just more like
visualizing tags
But they do want to be able to in the future be able to expand this and make it even more
You know connected with your notes you can also go to
Folders, and you can create a new note
you can create a new collection and new collections is essentially just like a
Folder for your tanks and new node is a way for you to create these new nodes with colors
so if I wanted to create a new node like
productivity books
I'd go create it and
If I go back to the wizard, I could actually remove this one and add productivity to it
And if I go to the graph, you can see that it becomes a lot more interactive
Right there
So the one thing they've done is introduce search and what's cool is they've used a I I think it may be some form of
API that allows you to search images as well. So for example, if I wanted to type in the power of habits
That book comes up there. But if I chose a specific thing that's not in any of the text
So let's go with the New York time
Okay, it can't seem to demonstrate it with the thing that I had in mind the book
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to add
A picture of some elephant so I'm not gonna add any tags. I'm gonna say animals to it
And what I'm going to do is go to the search and type in
elephants
So, there we go
It's able to analyze the image and see
What it's relevant to so it can do that for any of the images that you do have
so what's cool is if you created nodes inside of the different aspects of your work when you're adding new bricks and
And new areas. Well, they're not called areas are called sections. You can then connect things up a little bit easier
So for example if I wanted to add the 4-hour workweek
That's both a productivity book and a business book. So if I went and added an image of it
And I went back up to connect and went to the graph
You can see here that the the actual productivity section is gotten a lot bigger then say the course the business and grow your journal
So you can see that the any section that Sam added you can see all the books that are relevant there
So this is a great way to filter down
It's just a glorified filtering system at the moment, but I can see that this being adding over time
You know more more and more links in more and more files can be very helpful
So folks that was walling and at some of the new concepts now
I talked a little bit more about the basic elements of it inside of the previous video
You can check that one an email link in description
Currently still has a premium which is four dollars per user per month and that gives you access to unlimited access which is fairly
Reasonable sort of notion pricing, although it doesn't do as much as notion. It's much more simple and much more
Fine-tuned in ways because you're doing a certain activity
but the one thing that you'll need to note is these are sort of a new form of applications and
Super notes the one we did recently
this one the likes of walling and a few others are sort of merging into this new hybrid space where they sort of
hover around the major applications like Rome
Evernote notion and obsidian and many more dinah lists workflowy
They're sort of acting as these half
Note-takers the allowing to sort of take lighter-weight notes in more of a google cute fashion than say a Rome fashion
but very interesting because I can see both walling super notes columns all appealing to people that seek an
Easier more manageable way to take on their productivity. So folks. I will be keeping an eye on walling
I believe the team let me know. They have some pricing changes soon believe they've got free plans that might be more accessible
I see you developed quite fast. So I'm pretty impressed with that. Although it has been solid six months
They've added a fair amount to it and changed a few of the concepts behind it
So for I hope you enjoyed today's video
Please do subscribe for brand new and I look forward to sharing more with you in a future anyway, folks cheerio
You
