Couldn't be more grateful to see such a well made tutorial it is so good that it doesn't seem like it's on youtube !! Keep the beautiful work Sergio it pays off 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@FromSergio]

Thanks, that means a lot! :)

[@daramej]

I love these Obsidian tutorials. Very to the point. The best I found on KZbin. Great job! (and using the episode naming from "Friends" is a great idea!).

[@FromSergio]

Thanks for the kind words! I do try my best to always go straight to the point :) and glad you liked the friends idea, I continue to use it every week!

[@maheshsanjaychivateres982]

Sir I was searching exactly this type of crisp video. Many many thanks to you. This simple video has helped significantly to set my workflow

[@FromSergio]

Perfect timing then! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelscarn7375]

I would advise you to keep track of enjoyment as numbers and convert them into color inside the query. Example: ```dataview TABLE aliases as Summary, dateformat(date, "MMMM") as date, enjoyment, choice(enjoyment = "10", "🟩", choice(enjoyment

[@eanternet]

Thank you so much!

[@JotaPalma]

I'm just starting to include journalling in my obsidian vault and this had perfect timing, thanks!

[@FromSergio]

Glad you enjoyed it, have a great one!

[@MaxwellBuba]

I use for example the weekly question [[what went well this week]] with the two brackets and wenn i go to this page i can see in the Linked Mentions on this only Page every week with the Respective Text. It is so Informative and this connection can no handwritten journal performen. Im so happy that i find Obsidian and the possibilities which this program makes possible. Mindchanging and so powerfull

[@FromSergio]

Thanks for sharing! Life changing indeed!

[@rmachuca]

Awesome content as usual. As a sidenote, I just found this really useful and thought to myself... hey, this seems to be a great setup to also add some habit tracking information... and found your other video "Building a USEFUL Habit Tracker in Obsidian" that builds on top of this haha. The way you split your content to be gradually more complex but built into each other is terrific! keep it up!

[@FromSergio]

Amazing! Thanks for the encouragement Rodrigo, that was exactly my goal with the videos - to progressively make them more complex. I'm glad you're enjoying them!

[@aaliyaadam2907]

Yes, I would like to see how you do your years in color. Your channel has been very helpful to me, thank you.

[@laurad1460]

I would love to see your yearly note.

[@FromSergio]

Thanks for letting me know! If there's interest i'll happily make it!

[@AFGautonompunk]

@@FromSergio whoa, obsidian is almighty it seems, i hope to learn from your yearly video soon (couldn't find it yet)

[@davidolvera1123]

I enjoy that you show us the practical use of the different plugins ❤

[@FromSergio]

Happy to hear that!

[@edems131]

4:50 - on windows you can use flowlancher

[@FromSergio]

Probable the closest thing to alfred/raycast on windows side!

[@ebouchut]

👍 Hi thx for all the helpful videos! I suggest you make one short video about the folder structure and naming conventions you use in your Obsidian Vaults.

[@FromSergio]

On my list! Probably after the one i'm uploading in a couple days!

[@TheNathanCater]

@@FromSergio I would also be very interested in this. I've been setting up Obsidian over the past few days and your videos have been indispensable!

[@ykoy1577]

Your video is very helpful. I am marathoning your all videos. Thank you very much

[@FromSergio]

Love to hear that! Enjoy!

[@yellowaro]

I would love to see the yearly review!

[@FromSergio]

It's called Planning for 2023 using obsidian :)

[@frocka]

Another great video! and Yes would love to see your Alfred Workflow

[@FromSergio]

Glad to see some interest! I'm super passionate about it, it would be a pleasure!

[@AFGautonompunk]

@@FromSergio please do, despite using windows / linux, there might be something similar out ? but i'd still like to understand the work flow

[@tomer.nosrati]

4:58 Plz plz plz make a video about Alfred. I've switched from using PC my entire life to Mac just recently and I'm still learning how to use it all. I bought Alfred and I want to use its cool workflow and super-user features (which of some I already do) and all of the guides are, well, not your level :) So please do. Thanks!

[@FromSergio]

Glad to hear there's interest as I think that's my next one! I'm focusing on workflows (a paid feature of alfred) but if there's interest i'll also make one for the free version as Alfred's free version is more powerful than 99% of paid apps!

[@icarusz000]

I enjoyed this well made tutorial, thanks.

[@YassFuentes]

Thanks for de video! Great as always. Btw, I'm interested in that Alfred video idea.

[@FromSergio]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it! If there's interest I'll happily make it :)

[@TECHRUS32]

Try using the heatmap. Way more informative and easy to read for all year

[@MereMalek]

Keep it up Sergio. Nicely done

[@FromSergio]

Thank you! :) (was on break!)

[@ryanbartlett672]

Keep going! Great stuff

[@FromSergio]

Thanks Ryan for the ongoing support! :)

[@_peterung]

Wondering if you're willing to share your daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly templates.

[@FromSergio]

Hi Peter, I have a video on my list for that :)

[@izabelawl]

@@FromSergio Can't wait! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@ramiboy_y2049]

Ho, did you find it?

[@om6418]

Hey, how can i make a "on this day" Feature? Means, how can i See on a glance what happened on the same day one year ago, two years ago and so on?

[@DaveBriccetti]

Very helpful. Thanks for giving your time.

[@FromSergio]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Busterblade20]

Really well done video. Thank you so much. But I'm really curious of how do you use Dataview to represent your year.

[@FromSergio]

Thanks Daniel I have a video coming on that very topic conveniently scheduled for the last week of the year :)

[@Busterblade20]

@@FromSergio that makes sense. Keep up the good work. I'm loving your videos.

[@getoff-pq9pe]

I always wondered about Alfred. Why should I use it? Should I bother? Since your Obsidian videos are stellar, I think it would be very interesting to see your take on Alfred. Looking forward to that!

[@FromSergio]

It has already been published! Feel free to check it out! :)

[@teflon12]

my calendar opens a daily note instead of a weekly note. How do I make it open a weekly note? edit: ok it works if i click the week number.

[@kartikxramesh]

Your videos are amazing. Subbed :)

[@FromSergio]

Thank you so much :)

[@zaphodbond]

Discovering the "Windows" + "." the emoji shortcut in this video, felt like when the human ancestors discovered how to use tools in 2001: A Space Odyssey. 😀

[@FromSergio]

😂

[@AK-ox3mv]

Hi. Thanks for your great video. I need to search between two dates but don't know how. Is there any way to do That?

[@FromSergio]

Sure! Make sure to check out the documentation on dataview as that will depend on what exactly you wanna search :)

[@AK-ox3mv]

@@FromSergio thanks 🙏

[@realgouravverma]

Which software you use for screen recording? And do you record audio inside the screen recording software or you record it in separate audio recording software?

[@FromSergio]

I screen record using Mac OS's native quicktime screen recorder, I record audio via waveXLR into logic pro and use FInal cut as my NLE of choice (came from resolve)

[@David-sg1yi]

Liked this video. I like the idea of the color weekly. I set up a daily journal with YAML. However, when I place the emoji in my journal entry, YAML says its code is not valid and dataview does not run the table. I see that yours works, how do you get YAML to accept the emoji?

[@FromSergio]

Hi, in case you haven't yet figured it out my guess would be that you forgot the space after colon, so in this case "enjoyment: 🟩"

[@qwertyqart]

do you place to make an alfred video? would be great if you do

[@FromSergio]

Hi there, I did make one a few videos ago, you can find it in my channel page :)

[@retirementking]

Please show how you do your yearly reviews or else ;)

[@FromSergio]

:) I'm doing a video dedicated to that, conveniently around new years!
