I had to adjust my "thinking" when moving from Logseq myself. It's a hybrid of organized notes in folders with tags (and #sub/tags, which are great) and a "stream" in the form of journals. It took me a month or so of tinkering to really "get it"

I essentially boil it down to a handful of root folders:

  1. Jouranls
  2. Inbox (the built-in "quick notes")
  3. Travel
  4. Bookings (using page backlinks to link to travel)
  5. Media (which contains info for things like what books I'm reading, games I'm playing, etc)
  6. Locations - so I can do backlinks (Logseq style) between cities, businesses, etc.
  7. Contacts

The "killer feature" for me is page frontmatter combined with page templates and onCreation events, which results in query-able objects much like the Logseq DB version. It isn't quite as pretty but once you get your schema / frontmatter / templates in place it's REALLY nice.

Because it's programmable (in lua) you can extend it quite a lot. For my daily journal pages I have queries showing my current tasks, bringing in other data like recurring tasks from Vikunja, and a daily "news" section pulled from Wikipedia. I also have Lua scripts to track travel, put the weather on every page, etc.

I use it for everything. Shopping lists, travel planning, daily journals, tracking receipts for bookings for flights/trains/lodging/etc.
