Note Taking & Obsidian

obsidian plugins
Obsidian shortcuts

TASKS

• get better at search. See this video, min 54. investigate obsidian search syntax.
• implement kanban for my todos workflow
• research how to add note collaboration, which Notion does great. Relay extension

capture

for web use Obsidian Web Clipper

for books see kindle#exporting highlights to markdown (obsidian)
readwise is prob the best solution but it is very expensive.

• read list note + obsidian web clipper. (falls short on mobile)
  - raindrop ⭐️
  - matter
  - saveread

readwise features

• highlight review (to not forget what you read). turns your highlights into daily thing you can read
• import for everywhere
• bookmark manager (reader app)

zettelkasten

Is another system that I haven’t tried to implement in my system.
more on it here and here
I think it would be more beneficial if in the future I need to do more research or studying.

file tagging

I haven’t gotten used to tagging notes all that much. Maybe I haven’t found it’s benefits personally.

How to take notes

(based on my 00-09 System/05 Templates/Daily note template)

file organization

I organized my vault with the PARA structure with some additions of my own.
Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS)

granularity

atomic notes: like programming functions, it can be a good idea to atomize notes.
so If im writing about water I should write different separated/atomic notes on water: what is water? | what are the benefits? | why is it necessary? | etc… instead of writing one big note on the topic

up / parent

(I don’t really do this)
think about what other note is directly related “above” the note relates to.
MOST of the time I think a note should relate to only one note above, but I’m not completely strict on this for the right occasion

• parent/child/friend note tagging method

Relationship type	note/tag name	Role
Parent	#Project-Ficton-Book	Top lvl category or project
Child	#Project-Fiction-Book/Chapter-3-Draft	A specific, nested element that belongs to the Parent.
Friend	#Inspiration	A cross-cutting tag that provides context (the note is an inspiration source) and can link to other notes across different projects.
The key takeaway is: The Child belongs to only one Parent (creating a hierarchy), but it can have many Friend tags (creating lateral connections across your entire system).

try only placing a note in a folder only when it is linked correctly to other notes. this is to not have orphans.

• 📧Seed inbox: literature notes made from Readwise highlights. These notes need to eventually be processed into atomic notes. So read through these and write my own thoughts.
• 🌱Seedlings: new, unlinked notes. Fresh unfinished ideas.
• 🌿Ferns: decently fleshed out and connected but could use some more work
• 🌲Evergreen: fleshed out and deeply connected notes, foundational knowledge.
• 🗺Map of Content (MOC): summary notes that link many interrelated and connected notes
• for tasks Zsolt uses this 3 tags: #waitingFor, #discussWith and #promisedTo
• #person a person
• #series/recommendation series recommendation
• #🎨 excalidra drawing
• #person/chat conversation I had with someone

when was the note created and/or last updated.

Highlighting books colors

• Yellow = interesting point
• Pink = disagree with author
• Blue = Anecdotal passage

Resources

Link to relevant info. can be other notes, can be any link to whatever. I can link either using hyperlinks in the body or do it in a ‘paper’ kind of way where on the body it would list with footer and down in this section would be the link or acclaration.

Functionalities

Obsidian is a markdown editor and visualizer. see learning markdown

hyperlinks

• link another note: [[]]
• to name hyperlink: NoteName
• modify image size: 200px
• type [[^ to search and select a block of text on any file
• for more specific type [[filename^]]

Tables

Type this: | header1 | header2|
can also use table extension toolbar on the side

Lists

Ctrl + L todo list item
Ctrl+Shift+L bullet point
works for multiple highlighted lines.
I probably changed some keymap settings to have it this way

tasks/todos and time

I’ve been using Google Tasks a lot recently bc of how well it works in my phone with Gemini, Google Calendar, etc..

Templates

All templates are in the templates dir in this vault.
I have the templater plugin to autocomplete values in the templates and move cursor around faster while filling out the templates (cmd + J jumpts to next cursor position)

automatic MOCs

Automatic Maps of Content so I don’t have to link every note to their MOC.
This note views all unlinked notes in my vault Diagnostics - orphan - unlinked notes. Use it to organize my vault
