For real. Dataview and Excalidraw plugins legitimate by themselves the use of this app and we’re talking about two plugins made by independent people (brilliant to say the least). There is simply no competing application in the PKM world that offers such a level of customization or such a pool of talented plugin developers ready to push the tool's boundaries on a regular basis.

​@@_midinette_okay true but for people like me who have ADD and benefit from microing my tasks and schedule tools like this can be very beneficial. It is important too like you said not to spend more time planning than executing but that's more on the user than the tool to handle. What I really need is a tool where I create tasks and it auto generates my daily schedule in blocks. The most difficult part for me is managing my time and not getting hyper focused on one task and working on it for 16 hours straight.

[@BucketHead6541]

I fell into the infinite pit of obsidian optimization, but I eventually got to a point where I realized I was in the pit and learned to just be happy with what I had. Prime's philosophy on reevaluating workflow once a (year? quarter? I forget) helped a lot. I think I've finally started getting some real time ROI

[@surfingbilly9654]

Obsidian really starts to shine once you starting adding and customising community plugins and even creating/editing your own small plugins. For example, in my obsidian, i have keyboard shortcuts to automatically make text different colours, highlighted different colours, formatting, size, etc. Really helps visualise long notes at a glance. Also the in-built Latex/math mode is super good and is easily the best math typing experience for math note taking i have experienced (i use the Latex Suite plugin for maths).

Obsidian is similar to notion, evernote or onenote, but your notes are just markdown files in your computer, and it acts like a database for them. It has great plugins like canvas (arrange notes visually), excalidraw (sketch and save svg), leaflet (custom maps), etc. etc. and it's also free.

[@felixjohnson3874]

1 most of those plugins are just other projects ported to it (for instance excalidraw) 2 no it's not. If you mean free as in cost then sure, but so is basically every other note program and, unlike many of them, obsidian is definitively NOT free as in speech as its closed source. So either your right but its meaningless because most everything else is too or your wrong.

This is a great example of why people hate Vim- so many of the letter-operation associations it uses for commands are at odds with and conflict with everything else on in Linux, macOS, & Windows GUIs, and in every major IDE/editor from Visual Studio (& Code) to Sublime to IntelliJ to Xcode to Eclipse. You either need to rebind the keys for every other app on your computer… or you could just use an editor/IDE that has most key binds the same or similar to other stuff you use. - Longtime macOS user, and still loving how command+key is all the normal macOS binds, while control+key in a text field anywhere in the OS gives you basic the Emacs operations.

Hello. The first thing you need to do is get vim out of your head before working with obsidian. Obsidian is a very good note taking app. It jumps with the links. It has back links. There are options and plugins like crazy. Obsidian creates a vault. All notes are in the vault and is accessible from the system file manager. There are different markdown versions. I don't think vim handles links as obsidian does. You can have a title which is the note name, but you can create your own title. I would have looked at obsidian before doing this video! You video's are pretty good, but this one makes me chat with you to tell you all you need to know, very quickly. In one day you know it back and forth. Very powerful note taking app. The next thing i like is its not on the cloud. I don't do "the cloud" if i can. cheers and good luck! Patrick

I’m finding Obsidian insanely frustrating to organize. All I want is a Daily Canvas with one note for journal entry, one for tasks, one for workouts, etc.. Organized by date. Worked well for the first month but folders are organized alphabetically and you can’t use the same file name. So now you need some numerical naming system. I’m likely overthinking the file system, but that’s the problem. Look at their blog and suggestions. It insanely complicated. Ffs, I just want to take notes.

[@MigzPigz]

You can create a template that you can use as your daily note that can have all the sections you want. I know this isn't exactly what you're asking for since it would all be in one file but I think it could still help a bit

[@michaeldeane4807]

Thanks for the help @@MigzPigz. I tried that originally but my note got really long and I had to scroll up and down too frequently between sections. What I did instead was create a decimal system like: 010 - Canvas (folder to store daily canvas), 020 - Journal (folder for daily journal), 030 - Tasks (folder for daily tasks), etc... Canvas are named by date so there's no duplicates. The rest are label as 020.1 - Journal, 020.2 - Journal, 020.3 - Journal... for each new daily entry. So far so good. I'm thinking of combining this with something like you suggested to reduce the amount of individual notes. But I don't want to overthink this more than necessary. Thanks again.
