Hello folks, welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel before we dive into Dynalist
We're having some of its features. I wanted to share with you guys are out Zoho Suite
Here's a little bit more about our sponsor for February 20 20 is Zoho Suite now
So. Zoho Suite is a range of products covering sales help desks to email and
Much more and they wanted us to focus in on one of their products and that is Zoho sprints
Now Zoho Sprint's is a planning and tracking tool for agile teams
Designed with Anton in mind the tool helps you to manage the whole workflow and get the job done
Now Sprint's is popular with software development teams and security companies as a way to manage their agile journey now
There's a free plan on Zoho Sprint's where you can try it out and get started with five team members
So thanks to Soho suite for sponsoring this month on key productive
So we're took out Dynalist de azúcar mentioned Dynalist is an outline
Application and allows you to do a range of things. We actually did a great video with herb Caudill who
overviews how he
utilizes Dynalist
So if you wanna check that one out before we begin you can go and find out more details there but in today's video
Let's first overview
what Dynalist is let's move on to the features and sort of recapping what they are and
Then let's dive into a bit of a conclusion and who Dynalist is most suitable for
So let's start with the overview Dynalist is an outliner application. It's available on desktop
So you're gonna get it on Mac or Windows and also Linux as well. You can also get on mobile devices
So iOS and Android and what's cool is it works offline as well?
Which is a really handy feature now as an outline application
It allows you to do very very basic sort of bullet pointing
But also arrange a different
Text or markdown abilities a bit like an application or writer applications like bear and Ulysses
But it has more of a productivity process in allowing you to plan and coordinate
Your due dates information like that and coordinate tasks and notes. So they do have quite an interesting story
they had to flee have to founders in a moment called Erica and she do and
They actually used workflowy before and they decided they could make work flow better and released an application called
Omni flow but as you can imagine they changed the name to dine list and there really is still a two-person team
According to their about page now as you can imagine it is a really fast and easy to use application
We're going to be demonstrating it today. I'm actually gonna be creating a few sort of daily
demonstration of how you could potentially use it and
Also share a little bit about the checklists because I think they're a really great feature
We won't touch on the pro, but we'll also touch on the pricing and a bit more about the application
So feel free to join us in a moment or juster
Okay folks. So here we are on diner list. Now this you can imagine dine list is an airline application
So it really is primary basis is on text
It definitely looks like Microsoft Word because it's really clean. It actually can't be minimized this left-hand panel
hosts all of your files and
All you can do there is to minimize that and there is a list of triggers which you should learn to obviously
Maximize and optimize your experience, but that can also be hidden away
Which is very helpful leaving you a fairly clean document to get started with so let's start by setting up an inbox
So setting up an inbox
Let's title this document inbox so you can see here that you could have anything added to this document
So press the menu open up the menu and as you can see you can see a range of options which will come into later
But you can just scroll down to the bottom of the press set as inbox and now you have an inbox
location if you didn't know how to do that, you can also go to settings preferences and scroll down to
Inbox destination and you can change it here to whatever it's set
So in this case, it sets the inbox there and you can move the position of the inbox
whenever you're capturing stuff to the start of the amongst and your inbox is very
helpful, because you have I believe you have a Chrome extension where you can clip stuff into it and
Inside of Dulles Pro which were actually setup on you can actually go ahead and cut in box email address
So you have yourself a dedicated email?
so you can go ahead and copy that email and then whenever you're sending stuff in the future, you can send any files or even
Links into it, which is fairly good
So as you come out when we set up an inbox, but let's go ahead and create a new document
You create a new folder if you wanted to as well. So in this case we could say
daily, we can call this one daily and we can go into it and
We can create a new document and in order to add a file to a document
You can just drag it underneath it, which is fairly simple to do
So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna have this one as a very basic notes area
Now everything in signed a dime list is a bullet point and as you can imagine whenever you're sort of typing away
You can set a bit of information as you go. So for example if I press
exclamation mark I can set this one as
Today and I can press ENTER and what I can do is I can put something like the agenda
for today
And when I press ENTER you can see that this appears here as a two day area
Which is very useful because it allows me to get notifications when I'm actually looking at a specific things
So for example, it will nudge me in sign of the application on today, which is very helpful
And that's all very very helpful
and as you can see here the best way to go ahead and start an agenda for today is
To use a tampon the tampon basically indents it and that's where the magic can be started
so for example, I could say
list of baby items together so that add a few things there and you can see that these are fairly
You know rarely details
So for example, I can actually go ahead and add dates I can add some more information about it
I can even open this menu and add more details
I can even add it as a bookmark sort it
Search and replace an indent it move it to a new area even add it to a checklist
Which is very helpful and also give it a color as well and even give it a heading so there's a range of different things
I can do to it
but in this case
What I want to do is because this is a list that I want to connect it to
You can see here that the list of baby items to get and I can start writing that list so you can start
Typing away and adding all of that together and as you can see here
it does open it up and you can minimize it and
The great thing is if you wanted the plus button
You could even go into it and zoom in anytime you want
I can even add the color to it as well to make it a bit more sort of an indicator as well
So for example if I wanted to organize it a little bit better
Maybe I wanted an area for just the baby. I could go ahead and create a new folder
And what I could do is I could go to the options
and if I create a new document in the baby area and
Call it
To get I can go to the notes and I can actually move this to a certain area
so in this case I can say to get and
As you can see it's actually moved it into that area and you can open that one up and start seeing that list there
So it's actually a great way to connect up stuff
And that's why a lot of people were relating it to applications like Rome
Although Rome has some more links references in advanced abilities
Maybe we'll do a diary list first is Rome future soon. So for example if I wanted to create
Hashtags or ways to organize inside of a variety of notes. I can add tanks as well
So for example in this one, I can add a list of purchases for example across multiple boards by adding the hashtag
And
Typing in purchases and when never purchase is a mentioned across my entire dining list account
I can search out all of the documents and find the relevant information and
Automatically go there so you can turn any of your lists into tasks by adding checkbox to child
So for example anything there you can tick off and actually get done
So at any given time I can actually utilize a sorting to see the newest from oldest in edited
created and also whether things have been checked first so that I can actually organize my tasks as they were mentor as
They were set out to be
So I can continue to add tasks as well which is very helpful and throughout this document
I can actually search all the documents or just flat search, whatever
I type in now there are some viewing options as well
If you want to see the checked items only
You can hide the ones that are checked and show the ones that are of all done and die
Which is very helpful, and you can also do the same thing for notes
so for example
you can also show the first line of the notes or
Show all of the notes so that I open xand expands all of your notes
You can also view it in two views in the free plan
Which is list and article
So an article was a little bit small spaced out and less sort of markdown II looking
But you can also use the mind map as well, which is a fairly new feature for pro users
So one of the ways that herb usest was dead whenever he was capturing stuff in his inbox across his day
He was forwarding the men or clipping them really quickly on iOS. He'd forward them to the right
List that was available inside of his diner list which helped him to organize all of the bits of information
He came across in his day
And he also had a task manager style approach as well as a note-taking style approach for for example
Notes during conferences and also tasks as well, which I thought was pretty impressive
So as you can see here, you can actually open up each of the ones there
so if you did want a focused view you can actually have that now the
Preferences are really advanced inside of this application. You could have different themes list density
Of course some of these are advanced inside of pro
But you can also go into
How you want the list density show the display images inline because you can actually add images inside of dying lists
You can change the font size the font style
There is spell checker the format of the time and also lots more information about even the background color
You can also key map as well. So that will help you learn all of that
You need to know but to be honest, it's a pretty advanced application and inside the dynast Pro
You can also link your account to Google Calendar
Which is something that a lot of people are doing and you can also see your upload quota as well
You can connect up to your Dropbox and Google Drive and even add your own custom CSS
So it may given time you can start organizing your week ahead
With a combination of tasks and also notes, which I find to be pretty helpful. And this is really well designed
basic but easy-to-use outline
Application and I've heard really good things about the import from workflow e and also the abilities that you can access on
iOS and Android but at the same time I find that a lot of people tend to use it on web or
They actually use it as they download a version on desktop and it tends to work offline really well
And that's thanks to the basicness of the application is that and also the sync abilities as well?
So if you're looking at diner list
There's sort of a big rise in the use of outliners at the moment and what it's HIPAA clear a commend diner list for is
for someone that wants to sort of combine their tasks and notes if you have
Just simple checklists at home of your notes
for example
You list processes or you don't need any multimedia being added inside of your notes?
Then done list might be a cool way for you to soar lists
but also the ability to actually manage tasks inside of there and what a lot of people like with these applications like
workflowy and Dinah lists is that you can open up these notes and everything's sort of hidden inside of them as
Opposed to other applications which force it into the front ground
so if you're looking for a sort of
Tasks note tool then. This could be a cool way to do that
If you're looking for calendar abilities, I think you're gonna miss out on this application
but at the same time it might be handy for those who aren't looking for a really advanced task manager and
Looking for a basic note-taker at the same time
