take the syllabus of the class, make that the folder structure, then add a note per class day. As keywords start to pop out or repeat, break those down into it's own file so you can continue to link that keyword between multiple class days. then make a directory for all your "projects".

Great videos. I have been binge-watching these for the past few days, just to learn more. I switched from Notion to Obsidian in early 2022, I think, and it's been quite a mind-blowing experience. I currently have three vaults: my Zettelkasten, my entrance exam prep (ICT engineering, so lots of math that I don't want in my multi-discipline Zettelkasten until I have a very good grasp of it and I can confidently make accurate connections), and one for spiritual things/paganism.

I might split it if slowdowns start happening, but I have 1 vault for now. I am a fiction writer, and the unexpected best thing for me so far is having something like a personal wiki for the larger, more nebulous topics. I have a MOC for my current project, one for writing craft study, and one solely for snippets of ideas and concepts for future exploration. Splitting it up that way works for now. I have loose unrelated topics thrown into my vault, basically anything that interests me, but so far that is more feature than bug. Ideas can come from anywhere. Plus, any research I do on my current project could very well be helpful in a different project years down the line. I'm very enthusiastic about what I have managed to build so far.

So it all boils down to 3 questions: 1) Do the notes connect to each other? 2) Are you seeing poor Obsidian responsiveness. 3) Do you want to re-use the same set of plugins. And I think maybe it's good to have multiple vaults as a folder hierarchy. You can open the top-most folder/vault if you want to find more connections. And you can just open some lower-level folder/vault if you want to focus on specific notes. And you can have attachment folder within each vault folder. Obsidian's search algorithm seems to be able to find the attachments even from a higher-level folder/vault.

I'm a fiction writer, and I only just discovered Obsidian about a week ago, so I'm very much a beginner. So far I have each novel or series in its own vault. I know I could separate them in other ways within one vault, but I don't want the distraction of, for example, characters from other books getting mixed together. Maybe I'm too stuck in the past. I don't know. For now I'm loving the program for gathering all the bits and pieces together as I'm brainstorming a new story, but I like having each story world in its own discrete vault. I'll have to see how it goes over time.

@@om6418 I ended up having everything in one vault (on the computer I use primarily for writing). I put each novel in a separate folder. The main reason I'm keeping everything in the same vault is for linking purposes. I want to be able to link to general research for any novel. Sometimes I do research for which I don't yet have a specific novel started. I also use metadata so I can use Dataview queries to pull things together, such as all my plot notes for a story, or the notes about a specific character. Hope this helps!

I am starting my second brain, but I have one vault for work and another for my personal stuff. Justly because work has its own policies, and I don’t want to drag work related things. However some of my passion are present in both. So I’ve been considering a way to have my personal vault be editable from the work vault, but only sync the personal part with my home computer. This shared vault idea is worth investigating. I’d share with myself.

Your videos even from two years ago keep on providing so much value, Sergio - thanks so much! I've wrestled with the 1 knowledgebase vs multiple for a long time now, in Notion before Obsidian, and Evernote before Notion. While I have been trying to stick to that "One Vault to Rule Them All" dream, I've more recently been drawn to keep my Work vault separate from my Life vault for two major reasons: (1) I'd like to think of my Life not always framed in the shadow of Work and (2) when in Work mode, I don't want to be distracted or lured away by something more fun and interesting that pops up from the Life notes.

A shared vault is a great idea, although you'd _really_ have to trust the people you share it with because, as far as I know, Obsidian doesn't have a track changes or block-level versioning plugin. There is a new-ish service called PeerDraft for Obsidian that allows live collaboration on Obsidian notes peer-to-peer (no third-party server). It has a free tier worth exploring.

I run a longlasting D&D campaign in a world I created. The sheer amount of information and entries on all sorts of things requires a vault for that game alone. It's like my own Silmarilion with Lord of the Rings books included (i.e. worldbuilding + the story). Then there is my "second brain" vault where my personal notes go, reading journals, student work, creative writing, words I learn, projects, etc. For now, I don't see a need to break down my second brain vault. It helps to have all those various interests of mine in the same vault in case of unexpected links in the future.

For me, I have been having difficulty deciding on whether I want to use one or multiple vaults, simply due to my vastly varied interests and fields of study. I am studying multiple languages, programming and networking administration, making KZbin videos, etc etc. I find it difficult to organize all of these different topics in the graph view without things getting hard to follow... But I also find it deeply impractical to have a separate vault for every topic, as I have a lot of specific plugins catered to my areas of study and having to re-add and re-set them up every time is just a hassle, especially because I use multiple devices and OSs. I appreciate this series because it taught me about the power of using tags, which I think is probably what I am going to do moving forward - Use one vault, but have a separate tag for every topic in my vault. Then I can use templates to automatically apply those tags to note headers so that the vault kind of organizes itself. Appreciate this video and your series as a whole Sergio, excellent work as always.

Your plugins concern is not an issue, simply go into your .obsidian folder and copy and paste the plugin config files into the root folder of another vault and everything gets carried over!

Hi Mario, thanks for taking an interest. My zettelkasten is for everything that I come across that inspires me to either write about or store for later reference. For i.e., I write a lot about what I find online. A big part of ym ZK is curating and writing my own content based on the sea of high quality stuff I subscribe to via RSS(yup some of us still use it!). There's about 30 high quality "thought leaders" I enjoy following that bring me a good deal of inspiration. So, in short, my ZK has everything from philosophical takes, to anectodal experiences and everything in between. Hope this helps!

Security-related reason for multiple vaults: My work is paranoid, understandably, about their intellectual property getting leaked. There's no way they'd be okay with me having my work-related notes syncing to my private cloud-based storage. For this reason, I'll be setting up a separate vault for work. But much of my course work that I do for advancing my skills is my own and want to go with me if/when I move on.

I started using Obsidian yesterday. My vault's purpose is keeping notes for my studies and research. However, I just discovered how useful this app/platform would be for many different areas of my life, and I'm planning to create at least 1-2 separate vaults. These other ones would be for: - my work (which is in an area that is different from my studies and research); and - my personal stuff, i.e. online presence and activity (social media accounts, various web browsing notes, etc.). I don't think these areas of my life have much of an overlap, and I don't see how they would in the future, and if so, the overlap would be so minuscule as to not mandate cramming everything into one vault and dealing with the chaotic environment that would create.

I'm currently using one big very well organized vault as my main workflow, and sometimes I open folders within it as their own vaults if I want to get a more detailed overview on a specific section. I make sure to forget them each time so it only saves the folders settings and I only make modifications in the high view vault. I redesigned my main vault 3 different times, each importing more notes and collating old info down into single documents. I get a little bit grossed out when I see these videos of '20 billion notes imported' or whatever nonsense, because that volume is just purely unmanageable. My means of organizing wouldn't work for everyone but it's a very powerful method that allows you to get the most from low level ideas. There could be entire classes just showing off how you think using obsidian and comparing methods.

Hi Jose, media would be the main culprit here for most systems. Generally speaking you need to have a large amount of media in your vault for it to be noticeable, it would also depend on the system itself. If you're running it on an old and limited machine it's normal that if you have a vault in the 50gb+ ballpark it's gonna struggle!

I have two different vaults that get used a lot but they are so vastly different that before I even completely understood the concept of vaults, I knew that I'd have one knowledge based vault and another that's mainly a collection. The collection is my Cooking or Recipes vault. I've been collecting recipes online for years and adding my own in as well. That side of things uses a lot of space and resources so I had separated it out in my previous note taking app (Nimbus, which has 'workspaces') and continued it with Obsidian. I have one vault that's strictly for trying out and testing new plugins if I'm not sure about them. I also use it for import trials such as an app that converts Evernote .enex files to mark down. Just to be sure the resulting files would be ok and could be moved over to my main Obsidian vault. So far my luck with it hasn't been great. Plus there are downloaded example vaults that I access every now and then to see how certain things were set up. It's easy to change to another vault so ... I really don't see a problem with having several for various reasons. If my partner were still alive, I'm absolutely sure we'd have a shared vault for household related information and research about home automation products and apps. This was a great topic and as usual you've done a great job of explaining use cases and relevant work arounds. Keep up the great work!

@@PandalPan Thank you! Learning keeps the brain active and just like exercise for the body those synapses aren't going to do much if you don't also challenge your mind. I admit my brain is doing a much better job of things than the physical these days but I try to keep both busy. Take care!

You can just copy and paste them to another vault. To do this go to the obsidian folder of vault A, if you're on a mac press CMD Shift period(.) and go into ".obsidian" you'll find every setting of your vault there, plugins, hotkeys, themes etc. Simply copy and paste what you want into vault B :)

I feel like creating 3 vaults. I already have one mainly for my anime, manga, movies and whatnot. Thinking of 2 more, 1 for my art/shop and another for my board review. I don't want them all in one big vault (like in my Apple Notes). Just like online, I use different usernames or have different personas. I wanted to use Notion before for organizing but I didn't really get into doing it and just stick with Apple Notes. I like Notion for its database feature which I use for manga and other media (I actually embedded some of my databases from Notion in Obsidian using so I wouldn't have to recreate everything with Dataview). I feel like I'll be motivated to review for my boards with Obsidian so I might do a separate vault just for that. I wish Obsidian was around when I was still in school.

awesome series so far! it really made Obsidian click for me. i’m curious if you’ve ever used a vault as a shared team folder. in my case we need to use Dropbox to share files, so we can’t use the native Obsidian sync feature. the Dropbox sync is pretty fast, but not quite real-time. there’s a second or two delay to see changes. i’m trying to figure out if it would make sense for the team to collaborate within notes or if we should all be creating our own separate notes that link together. any tips on Obsidian for teams?

Hi Andrew, yeah I share a vault with my partner, I managed to covert her! Since we keep everything local in our NAS the changes go live in a split second. Is the 1 second or two delay significant for your team's workflow? I don't see a way around having at least some split seconds of delay!

@@FromSergio the delay isn't terrible, but it's definitely a bit more laggy than Google Docs or something like that. i've also heard reports of some strange behavior from another team member but i haven't been able to reproduce that. i think we'll try to collaborate on meeting notes in real time for now and see how it goes. thanks!
