DAY 15/30

Obsidian is full of cool features, but some of them are hidden🧐

Here are my 5 favorite tips to 10x your productivity!

Let's start with some visuals.

1/ Outliner (Community plugin)

Wish there was an outliner?

For those coming from outliners like Roam and Logseq, this may convince you to give Obsidian a try.

Go to Settings/ Community plugins/ Browse/ and search for "Outliner."

2/ Command Palette

Are you always forgetting how to do "that thing"?

Like "how do I Highlight text"? 🤣

Thankful, Obsidian does have a toolbar, it's just hidden.

Use Ctrl/Cmd P to bring up a list of all the things you can do to your notes.

It also shows the shortcut!

3/ Auto-relocate images

By default when you import images, it goes to the root of your files.

If this clutters your space...

1. Go to settings/ Files & Links
2. Default location for new attachments
3. Select a specified path
4. Pick a folder for attachments to go to instead

4/ Internal Links

Everyone knows to type [[ to create a link to a note.

But

Did you know you could search for a specific paragraph in your current note with [[^

Or, search for a paragraph from any note with [[^^

And when you have links... the last one is a must.

But before the last tip, here are some rapid-fire bonus tips

Useful Plugins
- LanguageTool Integration - aka Grammarly
- Recent files - see recent files
- Table of Content - turns heading into TOC
- Tag Wrangler - batch edit tags

Now, onto the last tip.

5/ Show Backlink within Note

Minimal workspace is important.

I much prefer backlink mentions at the bottom of my note rather than on the side pane.

This helps to save sooooo much horizontal screen space.

Go to settings/core plugins/backlinks/ and toggle on "In Document Links"
