8 Innovative Ways to Use Obsidian

These are some different ways users are using @obsdmd
🧵 👇

#ObsidianMD
1. Reflecting & Journaling

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

2. Setting goals

All my Obsidian workflow designs aim to meet a goal.
So being able to track the goals is an excellent use of Obsidian.
Some valuable suggestions here

3. Managing CRM

I am currently using Notion as a Personal CRM.
Often to remind me to reach out to people.
Obsidian users are planning to do the same.

4. Managing projects

I currently use OneNote to manage projects as it is the corporate standard.
But the ideas here are great if you are a project manager.

5. Designing workflows

@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
@EleanorKonik 8. Academia

I use Obsidian to study for exams, but academia is on another level.
This thread contains an excellent workflow by @Artifexx
9. Religious studies
There are Obsidian users who are using Obsidian for bible studies.

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
🧵 👇 Image
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. Image
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. Image

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

#obsidianmd #tasks
🧵 👇
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.
