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.
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…
Main plugins for me are dataview and tasks. Add the mininal theme and style settings and that is it. Although I enjoy browsing Obsidian roundup to see what is new in the world of plugins.
It fits well for me. I set up multiple queries in my daily note template to catch tasks that are due today or I wanted to work on today, for long-term tasks and for overdue tasks. You can group tasks by adding tags which I use often. You can add a new task anywhere in your notes and it will show up in the query. So I put tasks in all notes that I am working on and will be reminded of them in my daily note. It is often updated with new features, just try it out and see if it works for you. I can not complain and only recommend it.
I am also using it on mobile (syncing my vault from laptop->NAS<-cell phone). Works quite well, but I can not say mich about performance, as my cell phone is having problems in general at the moment.
However, it feels really smooth after initially loading the app and I have no problems to report.
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.
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)
