I am a huge fan of online courses, and this last year is proof of that. I've been wanting to do this video for a while, so I'm happy I got to talk about how I like to learn, some of what I've learned this year, and how I take notes on it all in Obsidian.
You may notice that this video was sponsored by Brilliant. This is...

This Saturday, I'm interviewing Zsolt Viczián, developer of the Obsidian Excalidraw and Excalibrain plugins and strong proponent for creating a visual Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system. I've already made a video on 2022-08-14 11:42:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey folks, this week's video is a little later than usual, but here it is! It's an example of how I process my notes, specifically to learn technical concepts, including some visual aggregation at the end. Basically my workflow involves:
- Sending highlights to Obsidian via the Readwise Official plugin
- Processing high...
Hi all! You might have already seen my video on how I use Readwise with Obsidian, but in that video, I only briefly covered my export settings. I've gotten a few messages asking for them, so I thought I would share them here!

Hey everyone! Another week, another video. :) This week's video is about using Obsidian QuickAdd, a cool plugin for automating parts of your note-taking workflows.
I go through how to create everything from notes according to templates to multi-step macros-- but as patreons, you already have access to these exampl...

Hey folks, in this week's video, watch me do session prep in Obsidian for my D&D game! This is a bit of a longer one, as I go through the exact process of what I do to review the previous game's notes, process them, and then get ready for the next session.
I originally intended to record the entire process, but I st...

Now for something a bit different! This week's video is going to be about why and how I came to live in 5 different countries, and how you can do it too. I'm focusing on the financial aspects of moving this time. With recent news from all over the world, it's not a stretch to imagine that we might not be 100% in agreement wit...

This week's video is a deep dive into the Obsidian Periodic Notes plugin, including some beta features of the plugin that add even more functionality that I didn't know I needed! Periodic Notes has completely superceded Daily Notes for me, and it's a great way to do personal retrospectives or remind yourself of tasks that alw...

Here's a sneak preview of this week's video. In the last two weeks, I moved to another country! I've actually been planning this move for months, and used Obsidian quite a bit in the process. So I thought I'd share how I did that. Enjoy!

2022-06-22 23:32:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I'd like to try something different for June and try to tackle some Q&As from the community. This could quickly get out of hand if I opened it up to everyone, so I want to make it patrons-only.
What questions do you have about PKM, Obsidian, tech, or min/maxing in general that you'd like me to answer?<...

Hey everyone! This week's video is a bit of a critique on most productivity methods, particularly ones that do not address just how difficult it is for real people with real lives to keep up. Is it just me?
