No Maintenance Research System?
by
In this excellent video Peter Akkies talks about your weekly review templates, but I want to focus on what he says around the 7:00 mark. He says that if you don’t do your weekly review you’ll end up with a system you can’t trust because you no longer understand what’s in it. This is why…
Shanti Younger on Obsidian Kanban Boards

I’ve been using Kanban boards to track the content here and keep track of my very basic home task needs. Cool to see the template that’s available for Kanban boards which I didn’t know about.
