- When we first open Obsidian, we're overwhelmed with what to do.
- How should I take notes?
- How do I organize notes?
- How do i make a beautiful graph of connections?
- This video is the simplest way to get started with Obsidian in 1 minute
Steps:
- Use daily notes. In these daily notes, you will write everything that happens for that day. Whether you're in a meeting, in a class or taking quick notes.
- Use Headings to help organize the daily note
- Use Tags to help categorize these headings exclusively for searching. Generally I have a list of predefined tags but you can do what you want.
- LinksHow to Build Connections in Obsidian (1 MINUTE)So you've built a fantastic note-taking workflow but now you have some questions about connections like:
* Why do I want to connect notes?
* When do I create links or notes?
* How do I title notes?
In the next minute, I'll answer all of these questions and provide a process for creating and connecting notes. This workflow is heavily inspired by the Zettelkasten method.
Why do I want to connect notes?
* It allows us to:
* Reuse notes in different context
* Resurface past content which rei will only be for expanding upon a concept while writing a note. This concept can be generic concepts or highly personalized ones. Some example include:
time is money
,how to fold laundry my mom's way
,pythagorean's theorem
. That being said, one important point is to WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS. - Just write! Write random thoughts while on walks, browsing the internet, or doing anything. By writing more, you may finally have the best graph to show to all your friends!
