Set Up A Knowledge Base in Obsidian | PKM Basics

[@dougbas3980]

I am a 77 year old engineer. My memory has become poor and I still do work that requires remembering (like home automation: circuits, programming, and system design). PKM with Obsidian is my method of augmenting my declining brain and it certainly helps. I enjoyed this video. Well done. Thank you.

This channel is painfully underrated.

[@milaschipper3336]

Completely agree!

[@rowdyjames453]

Good video. Would watch again.

[@gabrielgoldman5911]

What a great storyteller!! I enojoyed while learning, that's a double win not usually achieved. You remind me of the great James Burke! Congrats!!

[@afelandr]

You pronounce perfectly right (native Turkish here)! Im an academician. This video is very helpful. Thanks for the quality of your work. Im gonna check your skillshare course.

[@ankyuiyo1352]

This video is really thought-provoking. I never thought of I should notice whats the source of my thoughts and I exremely like "Every problem can solved as a question"

[@djlensing]

Thank you very much, I’m glad the video can be of help!

[@Sandalia98]

What an incredible video and so well-putted, love the sequence, the story telling, and of course the essence of PKM. Just what I needed. New subscriber right now! (Wanna confessed that I've never take the chance to get to know Obsidian, always thought Notion was "better" but I didn't even knew how different they are... downloading Obsidian right away) Big thanks from Mexico!

[@mskmusician]

Omg, I came looking for copper and I found gold! That is much more than just a yet-another-PKB-video

[@WalidDingsdale]

i enjoy your storytelling style

[@aar021]

This was informative and fun. Crafty, really crafty.

[@kakadu_kai]

I find it super hard to take notes continuously - especially during busy times. You always remind me how important it is to keep at it. Thanks for the motivation

[@clementihammock7572]

I do it with Smartphone Google Keep, and colour those notes. And later transfer some key notes to Obsidian Vault.

[@djlensing]

Same here! Google Keep for Quick Capturing.

[@yohanesliong4818]

Great video. Thank you.

[@XenoKnightAlpha]

Wow! This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Auf Wiedersehen!

[@donnellyzaraki4518]

I enjoyed the video a lot, including the theme music from AoT :).

[@DaveEtchells]

Excellent, well- and deeply-thought presentation. I’m a brand-new Obsidian user with masses of info to organize; this was a very helpful framing I’d the whole issue.

In your list of example vault names 'The Storage of O' made me laugh. I read the 'Story' book as a teenager in the 70s and it opened my mind to sexuality. This was an excellent talk about PKM, probably the best I have yet seen. Thank you so much for producing such a wonderful piece. I have so many notes on paper from 35 years in software development, now retired, but I think from them I will eventually have only 200 notes when distilled. So much is just out-of-date information and not knowledge. Luckily my last 5 years of digital notes were taken in QOwnNotes and stored as linked Markdown and are mostly about music production, my hobby. I started looking at logseq but the automatic creation of pages from tags always felt wrong to me. I gave it a fair review, even learning more about the programming language Clojure and Datalog queries. When I tried Obsidian it immediately felt right. I love your accent, easy on the ear and adds interest to your words. Take care, Danny, UK.

[@djlensing]

Ha, one of the few names I came up with myself. 😄 Some are inspired by Reddit threads on Obsidian names, "Vaultiverse" is by Nadja Bester, see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJO8gpebg7N3a8k - thank you for the feedback and the insights into your background, very interesting!

[@mageprometheus]

@@djlensing Thanks for the link. It's one of Nick's videos I hadn't watched. My lounge is 50% recording studio, a man cave, and my vault is the same. It always amuses me when I see a woman's vault with lots of styles and soft furnishings. 😄

[@annafilou]

What story book are you referring to? I’m so curious now

[@mageprometheus]

@@annafilou "The Story of O" is an erotic novel (S&M) published in 1954 by French author Anne Desclos under the pen name Pauline Réage.😄

[@ManishSahay]

A paused the video a few times to take some notes on differing topics. :)

[@djlensing]

Yay, I’m glad it's noteworthy! 🤓

[@clementihammock7572]

Oh yes, the important of having personal interest to go on, to focus and not drifting away too easily.

[@Maisonier]

Great video! Before I move on to the next one, I have a question: do you keep all of your information in a single vault, or do you use separate vaults for different areas of your life? For example, one for school, one for work, one for family/home, one for entertainment, and so on?

[@djlensing]

I keep all my personal, private, and professional information in one single vault. For now.

[@seedublancaster9755]

Kudos to you for such an interesting and engaging look into this subject. Your production quality is also very polished so I was surprised that you have "only" 17 videos published on the channel. With this quality, I can only assume you will be on a fantastic growth trajectory. Glad to have stumbled on you via YT recommendations. Subscribed and will take a look at your previous videos and look out for more from you. Thanks - keep up the good work!

[@djlensing]

Thank you, will do! (17 videos on this channel, but dozens more on my German channel 😅 - that's where I gained my first experience)

[@yvrphotoderm]

Very nicely produced. It's clear that lots of thought went into this.

[@djlensing]

It did indeed. 😅 Thank you!

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Man, that's fantastic. I could connect with your Lexikon über alles. 😅

When does the DJ-ing start?

[@stephanheckmaier448]

Hallo David, tolles Video!! Und auch schön gemacht. Die verschiedenen Hintergründe und das perfekte Licht (woher hast Du das nur ;-)) motivieren neben dem Content, dabei zu bleiben. Bravo!! Lieben Gruß!

[@pramodhost]

Good quality videos 👍🏽

[@SergeyHudiev]

Thank you!

[@RonakDhakan]

The first 6 minutes could have been actual history of knowledge bases instead of a fan boy type speech about the name obsidian.

[@djlensing]

Yeh, that's right. Could have been.
