On my second day consuming this absolute master tutorial. anyone looking to set up Obsidian should set aside time, coffee and go through this whole series with Obsidian open in a split screen. Also just a great teacher voice and explanations

What a great comment to read. Appreciate it so much :) Have a great week ahead!

You can add {{title}} to make Obsidian return your title automatically.

I did that too and then I just had the title 2 times in each note. It doesn't actually fill in the title slot

Would love to see a template for your yearly review!! Appreciate all the knowledge you share🤝

I'm so glad to have found your channel...i'm new to Obsidian, (as to note-taking too...) so i was trying to learn the most as possible before my vault gets bigger. So happy that you think similar to me on a lot os aspects, and that you have just created the best teaching channel! Direct to the point, no wasting time, so organized and with best didacts! Hope the channel helps you achieve your goals, as much as it is helping me! Congrats!!!

This is really helpful, thank you very much! I always do copy & paste template manually when creating my daily journal. Thanks to you, I now know and have it automated ✌.

i recently restarted using obsidian and i just found your channel, i realize that i ''only'' watched 8 of these so far but i'm taking notes of every thing i find interesting, i test the different concept etc.. and i just love it. When it comes to templates i hoped that i could see how you deal with "generic" notes but i guess we all use obsidian differently and my definition of a generic notes may not be the same as yours on my daily note today ive put that im grateful for finding your channel haha, not much i know but it truly made me think about the way i approach note taking as a whole. i pretty much restarted from scratch because i felt like i used too many useless organization tools. backlinks, not using tags, MOC the size of the moon with so much inexplored content and so on.. i'll have to find a way to transfer everything without going in each and every single notes but i feel like i wont really have a choice haha in your video about moc you talked about "create then organize" and i'll definitly try to take this approach now Anyway all of that just to saythanks for the great content that you uploaded for free when you could have made it into a paid one

You can't imagine how this playlist has been mind-blowing for me. I was completely lost on how to use Obsidian...now I can't stop having new ideas! I'm a Computational Biology researcher and the possibilities with Obsidian are endless: I can link my research, scripts, programs, tutorials, classes and scientific papers I read every day. I work with a lot of PDFs and would like to know if you have any tips on working with those.

@FromSergio

Hi Diogo, thanks for the kind words, obsidian really is great. I don't work with PDFs often but you can simply embed them to obsidian by dragging them where you want them to overlay. Obsidian will then store a copy of that PDF inside your obsidian vault. Hope that helps!

First of all I also want to join in on saying thank you, Sergio! The fact, that you structured your "course" step by step and provide good and concise knowledge without overloading us, is really helpful! Regarding your Question, Diogo: I believe, there is a way of linking Zotero and Obsidian through a community plugin and that may help! Depending on the referencing manager you are using and your amount of willpower to indeed integrate your references, PDFs etc into obsidian, it may be a worth thinking to switch to Zotero. I personally am gonna tackle this problem very soon and have already stumbled upon this solution, but I don't have any insights, yet.

Obsidian is amazing. I've been using it for the past month and love it. I have a question. When you create a template, when should we use double brackets {{, single brackets {, or just the heading ## [heading]? I noticed in your video that for some part of the template you use double brackets and other parts, you just use single brackets or a heading. My question is, if I don't use double brackets, will the element be reflected in the note I'm creating from the Template?

@FromSergio

Жыл бұрын

Hi Kara, If you are referring to 03:06 the use of "{{" is so that obsidian automatically applies the date and time, shown in 03:52. The single brackets have no meaning, its just an old habbits die hard thing for me. but if you don't use double **curly** brackets obsidian cannot replace the output for you. If you wish to delve deeper into obsidian and templates I highly recommend watching my templater video as well as YAML. Hope this helps!

[12:20] these additional ‘sections’ - how do you make them work? How to add metadata to them? (Is it metadata from another note?) What does it look like? How complex can they be?

How do I use the template to organize my Ph.D. research notes. Thank you for the wonderful videos'.

2:42 what is the purpose of using the curly brackets for "Tags" and "Related"? I see only template 3 variables in Obsidian Wiki which use the dynamic curly brackets: which are date, time, and title.

Hi Sergio, as always an outstanding video. One question: - When you get new ideas about stuff that can go into the template and after that addition to the template, do you go find all the notes generated using the template and edit them accordingly to the new one? Thanks in advance.

@FromSergio

2 жыл бұрын

Hamza that's a great question and the answer is - usually no, I simply continue creating new notes with the new template. If, however It's something that justifies going back and add I'll do it. Luckily for me it only happened once that I can think of and I had about 10 notes or so to edit so I did them manually but if I had a lot more I would use a bulk file editor.

I missed the step where you (use the Plug-in to) pull in the actual highlights (from Kindle) into the note......(a brand newbie here, if anyone cares to chime in)

My only question is whether I should leave personal notes in the same vault as my intellectual / professional / academic notes, or if they should go in a separate vault? What do other people do and why?

Hi! I'm new to obsidian and I've pondered the same thing. In my case I separate vaults into purely personal matters and professional matters which only require career related things to talk about

I did {{date}} and {{time} in a template but when posted, they don't generate an actual time and date. can anyone please help what am I doing wrong?

I can't find any documentation for curly braces. You use them extensively (e.g., "{Book Publishing Date}"). What do the curly braces do? I may have missed this somewhere earlier. If so, please excuse me for not seeing it. Thanks.

you aren't adding this note a YAML because it is a template and not a regular note?

Well that and also because at the time of this video going live I hadn't yet covered YAML and templater :)

Always so clear...! I've already watched kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6Jsy6R7j5u5mKg.html . I still wonder how you deal with the Frontmatter in your daily practice. Since only Tags and Aliases really become Metadata, are you including also other fields that you currently already included in your Note Header (the one you show here within this video, outside the Frontmatter)? Since you cannot add Links into the Frontmatter I don't see the advantage of adding more fields there rather than Tags and Aliases. I'd appreciate your thought on this.
