The first time I read Kepano's - How I use Obsidian, I thought, great, but not for me.

The second time I read Kepano's - How I use Obsidian was yesterday. And yesterday, was also the day I overhauled my vault. Not completely, I need to add the category property to all the notes.

Plugins

• Dataview for overview notes
• Calendar for quickly looking at past notes
• Lumberjack for taking quick notes and logs for daily notes

Folders and Organisation

I don't like folders, either. I don't like the idea of organising things before having written the thing I want to write. That said, I have 10 folders right now, a majority of which are admin related.

These are the folders I have:

• Attachments
• Clippings
• Templates
• Days (for daily notes)
• YearEndReviews
• BooksRead
• TechNotes
• Art
  • Ideas
  • Poems
• BooksWritten
• Inbox

The life cycle of a note

Every note starts in the Inbox. Once I'm done with it, I move it to the root folder.
If it is a poem, a story or a idea for a story it goes to the Art folder.

Templates

• Nordletter (For the newsletter I send out weekly)
• NewNote (For every note I type)
  • Three properties: aliases, tags, category
• DailyNote
• Source (For books)

How I capture information

Everything I find interesting goes in the daily note. If something comes as something longer, I create a unique note.
Most of the writing I do, happens on phone.

Book Notes

• I create a note for any book I start reading.
• Any quotes I like, I directly type to this note
• If I type a note I write, related to that book, I will add it as a link.
