I recently started using Obsidian and have slowly been working it into my daily workflow....

I wanted to restart my Obsidian Vault as it was getting to messed up as I never ordered anything. Finally started doing a Folder system so hopefully this helps in the long run.

Looked at some posts of the Reddit and found this one, thought it was funny so reposting....

What do you write about on Obsidian?

Wow, that’s a game changer!

I am researching a few topics, like AI and work from home, and I am trying to figure out what system would be best. E.g., I may find some news articles, or journal papers, or reports, and so on, on a topic I am interested in. One option would be to create a note with the topic name, say "AI, and then just put the links into the...

New to obsidian....

Does anyone have a good setup/configuration for converting documents to Obsidian-flavored markdown with Pandoc? I’ve been fiddling with it for a few hours but can’t seem to get everything right:...

I recently published several articles here and elsewhere on using Obsidian’s native database functionality to increase focus and efficiency when working with the information in our vaults. Rather than using Obsidian as a souped-up word processor, we can abandon the file paradigm altogether and use Bookmark and Canvas for...

This is the last in a series of articles, including Freeing Your Thinking and Building a Knowledge Tree, where I talk about using Obsidian as a non-relational database. The main idea is to interact with information, not files, and Obsidian’s core plugins facilitate this approach. I have talked about Search, Bookmarks, Unique...

Usually apps either checks for update automatically or have a button on the “about” dialog. Obsidian “About” dialog does even have a link to the obsidian webpage....

I am using my laptop to take notes in class and would like to use my android based e-ink tablet for quick handwriting and diagrams. What is a good way to get the content from the tablet to my vault as quickly and smoothly as possible? First-party sync? Note files pushed through Syncthing?

Bookmarks are the key to effectively using Obsidian as a non-relational database. The virtues of approaching your notes this way are several, and I covered some in Freeing Your Thinking. In this article, I explore using Bookmarks to construct flexible, interactive Knowledge Trees to organize the information in your vault (not...

I would like to use my laptop for note taking in class, and use an android based e-ink tablet for handwriting and diagrams. What are your recommendations for delivering the tablet’s notes to the vault? Obsidian on the tablet with first party sync looks like a possibility. What about another app that can use SyncThing or...

If you are like me and use in-line (double colon) fields more than YAML, the improvements to metadata management (Properties) wasn’t much of a help. The new filter syntax, [“key”:value], and the glob version, [“key”:], don’t search in-line fields....

Does anybody know how I can whitelist obsidian synch server ips every time they change?...

Supercharged Property Management...

A lot of time and energy is spent on thinking about how to organize your notes into folders, and many people use Quick Switcher as the main way to both create and open notes, even to simply access some information. I started this way, too....

I go against recommended practice and have different vaults for different things in my life. The academic note vault is separate from the personal vault is separate from the creative projects vault. I have also committed sacrilege by not having many notes linked to each other. I’m trying to migrate a lot of notes from Google...

Syncthing is free, open source software that can be used to easily synchronize an Obsidian vault between your computer and phone/tablet. Not only free, but completely secure, private, and blazing fast. Here are links to an article I wrote explaining how to use it....

Does anyone else use the Spaced Repetition plugin?...

After reading this post on how to organize people in Obsidian, I finally started doing it myself....

From the screenshots I’ve seen Obsidian seems to take up a lot of screen space. Is there any themes or settings to make it take up less space when using it?...
