Do You Have a Dashboard for Your Thoughts? (Obsidian Tutorial)

1:33 -> "That's here. That's home..." Lovely reference to Pale Blue Dot ❤

[@catalinvasile461]

Obsidian seems like programming where the computer is our brain, or an abstraction of it. The linking effort and organization of notes seems to be very well related to code refactoring.

[@RachelRamey]

I love the idea of using Dewey numbers, because it also gives a sense of where our thoughts are focused.

[@be7216]

I’m curious what this would look like with Obsidian. Do you do this currently or have you seen Dewey numbers used? I think this is great idea

[@RachelRamey]

@@be7216 That's pretty much what he's using here -- although with some minor tweaks to the 100s & 200s.

[@beijoflor]

I feel like ACE is a more stripped away and minimalist approach to ACCESS. Simpler means less fricction so this is amazing!

[@linkingyourthinking]

Happy to hear!

[@brunoparente4953]

This gonna change my life, really. I'm happy to discover LYT, Ideaverse, ACE, ARC, etc exactly in the week I decided starting my second brain in Obsidian! Ideaverse is eficient and simple. Thank you Nick, you are a simple man after all

[@kianm2994]

I liked it before watching it. Great work!

[@linkingyourthinking]

Yay, thank you!

Heya, the previous title on this video was far more helpful in finding a crucial Q I had; where should my source/ppl notes go. That title & thumbnail accurately read my mind. When I was looking for this video again I wondered if it was deleted, & wouldn've found it if I hadn't saved it specifically. Just a suggestion others also may have

[@critical-chris]

17:05 Regarding the logs, I’m not sure I understand how the ideas jotted down there will be resurfaced again, except by me going through my old log notes. Did I miss that somewhere?

[@LullaReads]

I created my own tag in the vein of boat and develop. Research. If i want to make a note on something but not research it right away, I'll make an empty note, title it with what I want to research, and tag it with note/research.

[@brendanchamberlain9388]

Thank you 🎉❤

[@linkingyourthinking]

You’re welcome 😊

[@yohanesliong4818]

Wonderful 👍

[@NhanHuynhOT]

I see "...Map" and "...MOC" appear in the Maps folder, the previous LYT Kit only had "...MOC", can I ask what this means? Thank you.

[@mr_mr]

this is amazing

[@TonyHulk]

So you need to buy the real course/courses? Or annually as well? ...my worry is the updating or conflicts with plugins in the future or an advantage of Obsidian is the markdown...how does all this end up if Obsidian shut down or certain plugins? OR if something happens to "Linking your thinking" OR how to put it all in a solid state so once figured out how we want it just NEVER "update" anything

[@toppanam611]

Thanks for the great idea, may I know what Theme that you are using?

[@linkingyourthinking]

Prism

[@toppanam611]

@@linkingyourthinking How do you get the open folder icon instead of the > symbol?

[@AmeeliaK]

What's the advantage of one folder for all source notes? I like to have my source notes and my library notes together. I have a decimal system with six or seven top level topics, for example folder "02 computer science" and it contains a note for machine learning but it also contains a source note for every book on machine learning that I've read. To have all books on every topic together in one source note folder would make me lose the overview quickly.

[@linkingyourthinking]

You're adding the P and PKM. Keep with it!

[@padmagonpo9182]

Hey... My name is Adão Pedro... I'm from Brazil... I wanted to know if it is possible, in the Ideaverse System, in the Library, to switch from the Dewey Decimal Classification (CDD) to the Universal Decimal Classification (CDU)?

[@tristen_grant]

Why does your name and location matter?

[@RachelRamey]

I have a bit of a random question here. I like the idea of using the dates for people. And I'm wondering if anyone has tackled the issue of how to handle people in the BC era?

[@linkingyourthinking]

Use a negative/minus sign

[@RachelRamey]

@@linkingyourthinking Thank you!

[@wally9112]

'm sorry, but is there a clean version of Vault available? I mean, without all those files in the Idea folder, for instance. Something I can just start adding my own notes to? There are so many things in there that I got confused about what to delete and what not to delete. There are files that, if deleted, might break the system, but it's too confusing to identify them all. Sorry for being a bother, hahahah, I'm just trying to use the system, but I'd like something cleaner.

[@linkingyourthinking]

nope, but you can get there

[@halleyscomet0867]

In my honest opinion, just make a vault, make 3 folders, and call it a day. At the beginning, you won't need any of these things, you won't need maps, godforbid a home note. You will get there, eventually, but you need to work to get there. So, my advice, start in Calendar and write daily notes. Have ideas, things to track, etc. Then, if you'd like to develop some ideas, create a note per idea. If two ideas relate, then make a link and explain why. If you find that your attention is getting split into multiple notes, make a note and link out to all these notes (what a Map of Content is). Along the way, slowly but surely improve the system you work in. Perhaps you need a tag to remind you that this idea is pretty good. Or a folder might be useful to know what outputs have been shared. Or maybe, your system has matured enough, become complex enough to require the ultimate touchstone: Home, the launchpad to the rest of your vault. Trust the process. If something doesn't work, then change it. And all the while, have fun sense making. Let the high-level purposes of your PKM system emerge.

[@gunfall9618]

​@@halleyscomet0867this! We should start adding the P in the PKM . As tempting it is to use the format of LYT , it won't feel "Home" . Cause personal knowledge management is afterall, personal. So i plan to take it what i really felt lacking , The calender specially for my floating ideas , my book quotes and frequent thoughts for the atlas and my ongoing gym, language learning for the Efforts folder. You can slowly make it complex bt please make sure it looks simple to you

[@douglasalves845]

the column "Days alive does not work anymore, it shows 19661 for every note"

[@sda1008]

I wanted to try it but can’t because its not available for ipad…Is there any way we can try it on ipad 😢

[@nildesperandum2034]

THX BUT JUST SHOW US HOW TO DO THAT....

[@catalinvasile461]

The "excalidraw" detour was a bit abrupt. I did understand direction like relation between notes. Based on how enthusiastic you were to bring it up, it seems that the core idea was to raise interest in it, but it fell short to provide that (I'm trying to provide feedback, not to insult). The detour was ok, in the idea that it didn't reduce my interest to watch the rest of the video.
