tasks If they ever implement mobile notifications I’ll be using reminder, and a plugin to sync tasks wo next cloud tasks (can’t remember which one, if I find it again I’ll update my post)
I use folders and tags for organisation (Auto Note Mover puts my notes where I want them based on how I tag them. But I use AutoMOC to make a big list of connections that I then reorganise into categories. It’s a really good way to make sense of things after I’ve built up a good bank of ideas on a topic. But I don’t use them for navigation; I’d much rather go through search or quick switcher.
Happy to see r/obsidianMD migrated over, being a single community on Lemmy. I am finding it hard to choose between similar communities hosted on different instances…
It isnt possible to find everything I need on Google. Instead I have to take presentations, textbook chapters, videos and summarize them. I add in my own understanding and where I misunderstood for later.
Not sure if it’s common but I use tags to mark questions (e.g #Q Why does she say that) and todos (e.g #TODO read this next), which distinguishes them from normal text and can be searched for. Links make it easy to organize. Vim key bindings make it pleasant typing. Has latex (mathjax) for math.
I tried out the PARA method, but so far it feels too involved with fiddling in the file system and I’m not really using it anymore. I use the “open file” command palette as my primary form of navigation, backlinks and other internal links secondarily, so folder organization doesn’t actually matter to me. I plan to un-PARA my folders and simplify them as much as possible so I can continue to ignore the file system organization.
Just to make sure I understand, you want your Author notes to have a Dataview table containing all the books they’ve written?
For each Book note, do you have a field (either in YAML or inline Dataview) pointing to the Author note? What I personally do is have an inline field that links to the Author note:
Author:: [[Stephen King]]
Then in the Author note I’ll have this:
table without id link(file.link,title) AS Book, Year FROM “BOOK FOLDER” WHERE contains(Author, this.file.link)
Replace BOOK FOLDER with wherever your books are. Then you can paste this into all your Author notes. Even better, make an Author template so you don’t have to type it each time you make an Author note.
I’m finding sub.rehab to be the best resource for making the switch. If you haven’t submitted the link for this community, please do! Reddit is taking down a lot of the “here’s our community on Lemmy” posts so I’m just directing everyone to sub.rehab so they can find theirs communities for themselves. I think this central resource is the best way to do this.
