Obsidian For Beginners: How to Start Implementing Obsidian In Your Life

[@sandwicheems]

Amazing explanation!

[@essentialistbody9675]

I love your authenticity! And I can relate to you in your journey. This is why I will be coming back to your channel...

[@AskSnehasish]

Why do you have so less subscribers! You deserve a lot man!

[@edmel144]

‘Just in time’ knowledge organisation is a phrase I already coined in my own mind. It makes more sense in thought world than physical world.

Thank you for the helpful video

[@MarcelSamyn]

Glad it was helpful Peter!

Fellow Belgian here: only recently found your channel and can't believe how much this and some of your other videos resonate with me. I am struggling to find a system that stops me from getting overwhelmed - which is difficult bc I am interested in too many things - and most productivity-like content online showcases these excessively bulky brain-/life-/project-management approaches and apps that stress me out before even getting started. Thus, I'd like to thank you for your content, keep up the good work!

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!

Hi. Why use double collon after "tags"?

[@ThomasSigurdson]

Marcel, Thanks for your video. Very helpful. Question. Is it possible to import a collection of tags to speed up the process? Eventually & ideally, I want to create a plugin to enable importing a taxonomy (a hierarchy of tags) and occasionally, trigger auto-tagging based on notes' contents to simplify managing / tracking content. Cheers, JTS

I like the PARA method, except I've extended it to JPA2RA: Jots, Projects, Areas, References, Resources, Archive. I use resources for images mainly. References is for notes on documents, videos, books, papers, etc. The papers are usually PDFs that live in Resources as well. Jots are my random daily odds and ends, an 'Inbox' if you will.

[@daVinciJoe]

Over 7 minutes into the video and we are not "Implementing Obsidian" yet... For that reason, I'm out.

[@aar021]

His explanation at the beginning was needed to make sense of what he showed. tldr for you ctrl-n, [[, go to town.

[@MarcelSamyn]

The key in making Obsidian a part of your life is, counterintuitively, unrelated to Obsidian. Once the way of thinking is right, all the rest is smooth sailing. But I do know I can ramble too much, especially in introductions. I love introductions and the philosophical part. Grateful that you took the time to post this feedback, will definitely take that with me!

[@thomasipad7719]

It seems to start at 10:26 … and yes, the intro was horrible. Let’s see what the actual content brings.

[@thomasipad7719]

@@MarcelSamyn is there any reason why Obsidian is a small window in the middle of the screen and STILL overlapped by you personal video? why in all the world, not make Obsidian full-screen and omit your video? OR, at least move the Obsidian window to the left, so that it does not get overlapped. Oh my!
