    by

    Today we’re going to look at fleshing out a big research project I’ve been toying with for a few years. We’ll look at some Obsidian plugins, how I search DEVONthink for more content I may have captured at different times and Shortform to evaluate resources that may fit with the project. Shortform is a sponsor…

  • DailyTekk on being Successful

    by

    Specifically I like Chris’ thoughts on finding a frontier. I started with WordPress in 2008 when it was very much a frontier and it’s why I have the coding career I have today. It’s why many people subscribe to my site and still are interested in what I have to say. I also think I’m…

    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

    Obsidian Workspaces

    by

    Workspaces allow you to save a configuration of your Obsidian panels and files. This is useful for when you have a configuration that you use regularly.

    Obsidian Papercut Plugin

    by

    I was recently asked which tools I’d recommend for someone getting started with taking notes in a Zettelkasten style system and contrary to what many people would believe I said start with a notecard because it enforces a character limit on you.

    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,…

    Should You Use Obsidian for Task Management?

    by

    I know I’ve said before that you shouldn’t use your PKM system as a task manager, but we’re still going to talk about using some of the task management tools available in Obsidian because they do feel like they make sense in my workflow lately.
