Today we’re going to look at a lesson from my Obsidian course where I show you some of the workflows I use to make connections with notes. You can get all the lessons by becoming a member or by purchasing the course below.
Developing Book Ideas in Obsidian
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…
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 Workspaces

I regularly need to open up my writing workspace which has a Kanban board and hides all the sidebars. One of the other default workspaces I have is for…
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. When you get started it’s far to easy to jumble a bunch of…
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. Specifically, is content to manage and someday maybe content I…
