I used daily notes to write down my thoughts and ideas in lockdown.
I have moved to a weekly review now I am back at work.
Excellent starting point here
@excalidraw is the plugin I use the most when designing and documenting my workflow.
Great video on how to start.
6. Content Creation
Whatever your reason for taking notes being able to create content is a great way to show your understanding.
7. Writing Fiction
I have spoken to amateur authors using it to create their first novels.
Building a chapter and linking scenes and characters with an overall plot note is an excellent use of Obsidian. @EleanorKonik discusses how she does it here
These are just a few of the many use cases for Obsidian.
It is a potent and versatile tool that users can use in many different ways.
Let me know if you use it for anything else.
That's a wrap!

5 Features of Obsidian Canvas
I have been moving my mind maps from Miro to @obsdmd Canvas.
These are the features I used the most
🧵 👇
1. Cards
Cards are rectangular shapes that you can add to a Canvas.
You can change the outline colour.
At the moment, you can not change the shape of the card.
2. Add a note from Vault
You can add a note from your vault onto the canvas
It shows the title and content of the note.
You can also update the content of the note directly on the canvas.
5 Steps to implementing Task Management in Obsidian
One of the plugins I use most is Tasks.
I use this to create tasks in my different workflow and help me prioritise tasks.
In this thread, I will explain how I use it with @obsdmd
1. Creation
Tasks can be added to any note.
All you need to do is type "- [ ]" with your task name, and the prompt will let you set a due date.
2. View tasks
You can create queries to see a list of your tasks.
The queries can have added functionality to filter, sorry, group and limit the results.
I add these queries to my dashboard. I also have a task list note that shows different views of the tasks.
