A month ago I began using @obsdmd as my core note-taking app.

At the one-month mark, my Top-10 resources for getting started with #Obsidian:
⬇️
1) Obsidian Starter Kit, by @dSebastien developassion.gumroad.com/l/obsidian-sta…

This is how it all got started for me. The kit costs 14.99 Euros.

It installs an Obsidian Vault and provides an extensive User Guide, stored as a Notion database.
2) A free alternative is @_MikeSchmitz's Obsidian Starter Vault thesweetsetup.com/rm/obsidian-st… named 'PKM LM'

After installing the Vault, begin with 'Start Here' note

Compared to Sebastien's Kit, Mike is a bit higher-level with e.g. a note for "Intro to Personal Knowledge Management"
3) Also free is @the_LYT_way 'LYT Kit 6' Vault linkingyourthinking.com/lyt-kit-course…

Among the three Vaults sampled, this one goes the deepest with theory

The Vault implements the ACCESS structure (reference: ) and includes 194 notes in the Cards folder
3b) Also watch @NickMilo 'Obsidian for Beginners' YouTube Play List youtube.com/playlist?list=…
4) For YouTube w/o a sample Vault, @DannyHatcher 'Obisidian for beginners: Building a second brain from scratch' has an extensive app walk-through

Recorded August 2021 so it may not always reflect latest info; however, I found it helpful as of May 2022
5) @brandonkboswell 'What's in my Obsidian Vault? 2022 Obsidian PKM Walkthrough'

A more recent (although not as extensive as Danny's) walk-through that focuses on Brandon's own configuration

The companion blog: brandonkboswell.com/blog/How-I-Use…
6) @FilipeDonadio's 'New to Obsidian? Start here' YouTube Playlist youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Start w/ 'First Things I Do to Setup Obsidian: Settings, Plugins & Tips' and then 'How To Organize Your Notes in Obsidian | Folders, Tags and Links'
7) If you prefer written material, I found @BenENewton on Medium benenewton.medium.com helpful with its short articles covering particular objectives

For example, 'How I Track My Tasks in Obsidian' medium.com/geekculture/ho…
8) In the same spirit is @GentryGibson's 'The Buccaneer's Bounty Tutorials' thebuccaneersbounty.wordpress.com/tutorials/

For example, 'How to Create a Video Project Tracker in Obsidian' thebuccaneersbounty.wordpress.com/2021/08/22/tut…
9) Obsidian reference material:
🔹Official Obsidian Help help.obsidian.md
🔹Official Obsidian Forum forum.obsidian.md
🔹Obsidian Subreddit reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/
🔹Obsidian Hub on Github github.com/obsidian-commu…
10) To keep up to date on Obsidian news, subscribe to @EleanorKonik's weekly 'Obsidian Roundup' obsidianroundup.org
BONUS 11) @n_vanderhoeven is one of my favorite YouTubers

#Obsidian YouTube Play List youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Hunting for Personal Knowledge Management / Tools for Thought email newsletters that are tool-agnostic

There are many more newsletters that lead with Productivity -- compiling a list for these is a task for another day

What I have from my PKM search:
⬇️

[What have I missed?]
1) DevelopPassion @dSebastien newsletter.dsebastien.net

"Learn everything about personal knowledge management, software development, productivity, and Indie Hacking."
2) Focusivity @ericgregorich ericgregorich.com/tag/focustivit…

"A weekly newsletter where I share content and resources about Self Development and Personal Knowledge Management."
