    Obsidian Quick Add – Automate Note Entry

    by

    Getting your notes into Obsidian can be a bit of a chore. I find adding a book to my notes as I’m reading a book particularly time consuming, and it breaks me out of the reading workflow. This is where Quick Add can help automate some of the process of adding specific types of notes.…

    Obsidian Longform – A Scrivener Replacement?

    by

    For a long time I loved Scrivener, but the development is so slow it may as well not happen. It also has had 10 years to really support iPad’s as primary writing tools and it’s done a terrible job. You’re almost missing more features on an iPad than you get. You certainly can’t produce a…

    Making Connections with Readwise and Obsidian

    by

    One question I’ve been asked a few times is when does building a Zettelkasten System pay off? No, it’s not going to do much for you in the way of new connections you didn’t know were around when you only have a few notes. It’s going to take time to build up notes and ideas,…

    How I Use Day Planner for Daily Notes in Obsidian

    by

    When I got started in Obsidian I didn’t find daily notes all that useful, but that changed a number of months ago. I now use daily notes almost every day of the week to keep myself organized and to keep a time log of my day. This video will talk you through how I use…
