So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated...
Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian... OMG ๐คฏ
Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I've been in with them.
Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks.
I mean, why did I wait so long? I've been using it for about 10 days now and it's been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.
Any particularly good videos you'd recommend?
No Boilerplate did a great video on Obsidian. It's what got me started using it!
Not OP but I love FromSergio on YT. He is amazing at explaining.
Nicole van der Hoeven is the absolute GOAT
Agreed, there are a bunch of great videos out there but she has a bunch that really started to show me how powerful this app really is.
