Rethinking MY PKM: How I Organize Everything In Obsidian

[@feeltheliberation4771]

These videos and tutorials are gems. Being a visual thinker myself i am really really grateful to this creator!

[@AndersThoresson]

The tools you develop are really valuable - but that you also takes time to explain how you put them to use adds a lot extra. Thanks, Zsolt!

[@jskdsd]

I am your Chinese fan, and your videos are really beneficial. We have a 35-year-old curse for programmers here, that is, programmers will not be able to find a job after the age of 35. And your masterpiece made me see how creative good programmers can be and how bad age discrimination is in China.

What a beautiful and deep presentation about a precious subject that people don't seem to care enough, personal knowledge management. Thank you.

[@HugoVillanueva]

I just wanted to look for more information about this topic and I realized that you published this video few minutes ago. Thanks for all, I really appreciate your amazing work. 😊

[@lincongkai]

I am only commenting, to train the KZbin algorithm, because I want to see more videos like this.

[@asgeirtj]

Same

[@hotepstories]

I told myself this is too long I wont be watching. Watched it whole, only skipped a few minutes that were above my level. You explain clearly and fully and with a real interest to help. Thank you very much. I hope your channel reaches many more people very soon. Be blessed

[@cossack4930]

I have been waiting a year for this. You did not disappoint! Thank you so much for the insights. Very helpful as I tend to my garden.

[@Cadrieldur]

Thank you for sharing. I will utilize this for my vault.

[@mageprometheus]

Excellent. It was great to see all the pieces come together.

[@reverband]

Everything you published is really useful! Thanks for sharing all your incredible knowledge!

[@Serag4000]

I've been baby stepping into Obsidian, aiming for that whole 2nd brain goal; and part of what you said in this video got me thinking: "can I have Obsidian notes for ANY folder on my system?" I mean, that'd at least give me a chance to make sense of my own folders, and enable me to better locate things. Moreover, with tags, I won't be tied up into deciding whether a picture should be in the screenshots, funny, or personal folders.

[@aleonxyou4956]

you're a gem brother . keep it up!

[@ciaspo]

Great video and great job, very inspiring, thank you! 👍👏🏻🙏🏻😊

[@realitydesigners]

This was awesome! Took a lot of useful ideas from this one!

[@obuyWw]

I respect your detailed explanation and enthusiasm; many of the points or components you mentioned really resonate with me I think I will definitely incorporate them into my system(which is much simpler); but GODDAMN some of the stuff you mentioned are just too insane to me; like if I were to produce daily notes with the level of details, including Geo tags and stuff, there is absolutely no way I could enjoy my actual holiday and be present with my family or friends to have a good time - it’s just too much- but too much just for me I know you guys are all enthusiastic about it

[@patriciocio]

Interesting the word "obsidian" similitude with "obsession". Great video btw!

[@AngelosGeorgopoulos]

thanks for the video and the excalidrawing

[@caleocay6897]

i learn many courses in Coursera now but I dont know how to take note like this, really enjoy your teach. if you have any videos relate how to note courses at school, i really appreciate

[@VisualPKM]

I context of studying I recommend reading this: online.fliphtml5.com/kbhsd/dqvq/#p=6 Many of my videos touch on the subject, this might be of interest, but I recommend just browsing around my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6qXk2mdmsqEibssi=LKDupmQKiIDYoi1a

[@fabelwifi8197]

Fantastic!

[@marcwirth5769]

Just bookmarked this video for tonight

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks! The video is pretty long and dense with content. You really need to put some time aside to digest, I don't think this is an easy recreational watch...

[@marcwirth5769]

@@VisualPKM now you know me a little bit, you know I am serious about the PKM stuff (-; I am just going to watch it like a curious kid, not the avid notetaking adult I am the rest of the day! Just so sad I won't have the time and energy to participate to your cohorte 4 in June

[@marcwirth5769]

also, I grew accustomed to listening to your videos and now find your voice kinda relaxing, so don't worry I'll be fine haha

[@visi7891]

i too want to make a video just me talking about my joy in working in my pkms 😄

[@Danielo515]

Would love to see more of those templates

[@carolinelackeyJCOTMlight]

Thank you im also obsessed with organization and systems lol

[@matte4415]

Great work!

[@aabakonyi]

Thank you so much for your work, Zsolt. Are you still currently using this organisational framework for your PKM system?

[@VisualPKM]

Yes

[@trileobayu2023]

would you share how to build you vault diagnostic, please?

[@Caroline_Creative]

This is amazing. I aspire to this. Question- what do you use the research for? Like are the books you read for your job or jus because you are interested?

[@VisualPKM]

Both. I read because I enjoy thinking about those subjects and enjoy developing my own idea. I also read for work, learning new skills, improving my productivity, etc. I think the idea of "research" for non-academics (like myself) is a bit of a misused term. Research is really just following my interests one question after the other.

[@gensone4125]

Hello - thank you so much for this helpful video!! One request - can you point us at some information re: the Brownfield - reality? Strangely I can't find much on the internet regarding this concept. Many thanks in advance.

[@VisualPKM]

Regarding brownfield reality - I like Tiago Forte's recommendation. He's view is, don't spend hours restructuring old notes... instead move all your all stuff in an archive folder, you can find and organize stuff there when you need it, and start a new structure "point forward" i.e. from today.

[@Dani-rf9cz]

really interesant

[@user-sj4ny1cn9o]

Thanks for the video, I want to know the name of you map tools

[@VisualPKM]

I use the Map View plugin in Obsidian.

[@ahmedbadr6362]

Hi The canvas does not load for me, the site keeps trying to load for a few moments and then presents me with a blank canvas. Am I missing something? Thanks

[@VisualPKM]

This could be just a bandwidth issue... the canvas includes a bunch of icons and thumbnail images. When you click the link Excalidraw will ask you if you trust the content you want to load. Once you click OK it will load the drawing. Try it from a different device, and/or different connection.

[@ahmedbadr6362]

​@@VisualPKM thanks, I'll try again in a few days. It now says "Importing from backup failed"

[@VisualPKM]

what device and browser are you using?

[@cypherhades]

Hi! How do you autocomplete inline-fields using the triple colon syntax (:::)?

[@VisualPKM]

It's a feature of ExcaliBrain. Here's a more detailed explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npKqcpmZbraIq6M

The numbers next to the links are a kind of plugin to open proofs using the keyboard? Thanks.

[@VisualPKM]

The numbers are from the wonderful Strange New Worlds plugin by @tfthacker github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-strange-new-worlds

[@topdirect4286]

can u share a template vault for us 。🎉🎉😂

[@VisualPKM]

Which template? The link I think you are looking for is in the video description

[@topdirect4286]

@@VisualPKM I means the demo vaults.

[@VisualPKM]

@@topdirect4286 ah.... got it. This is on my plans, just need time to get to it
