    I can sense that you have really put the heavy creative effort in your content. Thanks for that. This video is much inspiring to develop a effective knowledge management system that works. Please make a video on how to design our hashtags that you use in your log entries and also the how should we use them all.

    Hello. I love your content. I just subscribed and got your demo vault to try to understand how to have the images embedded in your tasks in dataview queries in your MOCs. I do not see this in your latest vault. Are you able to share how to get the images and subtasks visible (from 24:54 in this video)? Many thanks.

    • @construct_by_dee
      @construct_by_dee  6 місяців тому

      Extremely good question!
      The images are visible in the subtasks because it is a link to the picture with a specific http address (and not an image that you copied in locally into you "attachments" folder).
      The format that you need to use is this:
      - [ ] ![]()
      You specify the task (- [ ])
      the ![] indicates that this image need to be showed
      and then you paste the http of the image between the brackets:
      ![](wiki.doing-projects.org/images/thumb/5/5d/Parkinson%27s_Law_Principle.png/800px-Parkinson%27s_Law_Principle.png)
      To Summarize:
      - Locally stored images in your vault won't pop up
      - Http images you reference will shop up
      - You can get around this by having an online storage which you link to a specific image (I haven't look into this in too much depth but I know it is possible)

    Building blocks for a solid foundation indeed. I will clearly need to practice more to make sure I get the fluency that's required to leverage on all the efforts here. Which also means I need to rerun your videos, put bookmarks as there are various little tips implicit in your note taking style that we can imbibe.

    • @construct_by_dee

      Luckily all the videos build on each other. The system is getting more streamlined with each video, but it is most valuable when you can adapt your system to your wants and needs. Glad you are getting something out of it!

    ... and now 'Bookmarks' - for whole notes or paragraphs, etc.
    It is a big issue gardening the notes through the stages to taking a crop now for the current project, but still cultivating what is left and already used to produce more next time around - as you build your garden and individual beds of cultivated choices.

      You I think missed elements of the Zettle idea - outside of the hardware/software... but the process. As you touch the notes repeatedly, more/new thoughts pop, either just as or because of other notes that have been made or reviewed since you last touched the note. Some of the benefit is just as if doing an 'Anki' style reading on a filtered sub-set of your vault (or even a project bounded folder's worth)
      Is there an actual project to research or are you just browsing as one might have done in a library... But the use of the tools needs to have a process.
      If you use Obsidian for task management - tags (as per say Bryan Jenks) can be the note's status in the process [to do, doing, done, etc.]. Now bookmarks have arrived, then major topic areas can be say one of 10 folders, and the project can be tagged by "bookmarks" with the project name, so it allows effective filtering to giving focus - when creating content or other output. But the Obsidian model - still allows you to touch notes as a reading device and then extend the note to a further linked note... so the use of links, tags, bookmarks, etc., needs a well-described process to smooth the workflow.
      Thank you [ex-software research engineer] says a construction industry specialist.

    Great video! This is a nice way of explaining this problem with a digital zettelkasten that I have also come up against.
    I had one question though, how on earth are you pulling the Log Entries with #on/productivity or #on/parkinsons automatically into the MOC or NOTE templates?
    I understand how to use dataview + templater file name code to pull the [[]] links based on the title, but how does this work with your second list of #on tags as well?

    • @construct_by_dee
      @construct_by_dee  День тому

      Hi there!
      Good question.
      For the Dataview you would need to specify what tags you are looking for.
      ```dataview
      TASK
      WHERE icontains(text, this.file.name)
      AND icontains(text,"#YOUR-TAG-HERE")
      GROUP BY file.name as filename
      SORT filename DESC
      ```
      So this is not 100% automatic.

    Hi from Brazil!
    Congratulations on your work and thank you for sharing your knowledge! I've watched all your videos :)
    I'm happily surprised how much its structure resembles how I'd like to organize my second brain system, especially in obsidian, as I'm a future ex-notion user. Nowadays I'm "stuck" in Notion because of the way I organized the planning and management of projects and the files generated by such projects, in addition to the difficulty of being able to "replicate" my system in obsidian.
    Are you thinking of integrating project management (meetings, tasks, files and documents) into your second brain system?

    • @construct_by_dee
      @construct_by_dee  Рік тому +1

      Ah, Brazil. A place that has been on my travel bucket list for some time! Greetings! :)
      Regarding meetings - I have a video on it where I use some project management capabilities within Obsidian. It is due for revision as I've been using it daily.
      Task management is a topic I only recently started to make sense of in Obsidian. The next video will touch on how I plan to approach it.
      For document management, I'm not too sure yet. I don't want to clog up my vault with unnecessary files. But I know a couple of UA-camrs have touched on this issue (FromSergio, for instance), in which they use a cloud base system and reference them "into" their vault. Seems elegant enough. Just need time/motivation to look into it.
      Hope this helps!

    LOGREDIS is brilliant, you’re doing amazing work. Implementing things in the way I’ve wanted to. My one concern of going full in is the longevity of years down the road. Have any thoughts on being able to access this information in a convenient way say 5 to 10 or more years from now? By keeping information more curated and in text in the note on the topic or moc, it’s not relying on queries with particular software. But i imagine with the interest in obsidian and this style work plus AI developing the way it is, we’ll always be able to access to code and a program that will run it in a way that allows this system to work?

    • @construct_by_dee
      @construct_by_dee  6 місяців тому +1

      Hi Hunter,
      Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it.
      Regarding longevity, I chose Obsidian because it has a large user base. If a better software emerges and people begin migrating, there will likely be tools available to help transfer everything.
      Even if Obsidian were to stop working tomorrow, I understand how all the pages are connected. With my basic programming knowledge, I could hire a developer to create a similar program.
      What I mean is that this note-taking software uses flat files and text that can easily be moved to another platform.
      There’s no perfect product, but Obsidian comes close. Better software may appear in the future, but starting your PKM journey early gives you an advantage. Remember, the concepts are tool agnostic!

      ​@@construct_by_dee thanks so much! I've become a supporter and am exploring the evergreen vault currently. Here comes a lot of questions, i'm willing to engage your consulting service as well, so let me know what to do there, I've already sent a greeting email :)
      A few things i'm struggling with is when to use yaml categories vs tags inside yaml and why. Ex. Type: vs #type/etc .. also when to use yaml categories instead of tags
      For me this affects lots of things that i don't want to start building out and then switch much later on.. not limited to People templates, or sorting daily notes. Like when i was on the road for shows vs traveling or different activities and locations in a yaml vs a tag in the yaml or tag in line and how these get collected and sorted, or integrated between the two. (Not a main question, but to circle back - Future proofing wise even within Obsidian, how would you ever migrate these type of operations? I guess it would require coding knowledge to make mass changes in a vault that's down the road a ways. Also wondering if using a daily file with YYYY-MM-DD ddd will cause any issues)
      i also notice there's a decrepancy in evergreen vault - yaml has type: weekly and there's also #type/weekly-note .. both are active in the vault, but which one are going with now, and why? deciding on this is really holding things up for me personally, and i don't have the skill to fix it later with scripts etc
      So it gets a little further confusing when considering we might prefer to have these as tags and perhaps tags inline of a block of text, or at the end of a task checkbox with maybe even child bullet points below so as to pull specific blocks from anywhere, per your system. (which, another burning question- seems only doable to log the way we do with using "tasks" and then it's children, vs bullet points with perhaps children. Without tasks, i've only gotten to work with the bulleted children being returned and note name as the title, which is in place of the missing the main bullet that includes the tag. If you were to use this you could just make a bullet with all the tags, then consider the first child and subsequent ones what you want to pull. Which can look nice in some situations and is what i would do had i not discovered your more elegant system). I've quite a few mentions of people i'd like to show up in their log on the page, but they're currently in bullet form and even when switching out to checkboxes i'm having trouble getting them to show up.
      I'm wondering if this relies on things like the task plugin, and then also dataview. And also, there's a lot built into obsidians search that get's almost killed when tagging things in a certain way and using search to read within the tags context. This concerns me a bit as now i'm relying on other ways of doing thats rather than what's built in. But the elegance and power seems you've developed worth it, and hopefully more of it gets more built in, in which case this will all hopefully be backwards compatible.
      Seems the inline would still allow for the less granular way of sorting through a vault full of days doing certain things or in certain locations as yaml categories would and other notes, but even in the evergreen vault i see (perhaps just remnants) an overlap of the two ways of doing this.
      For example
      Say i play shows at a venue, and i may also attend shows at the venue and want to differentiate, in a state i'm not living in. I could have a whole note for the venue and be able to parse both things there perhaps, which i might really want also in order to preserve information about the place and the people who work there. I could use yaml categories in there such as Type: Place Location: Somehwere,TX but how will this integrate with tags for places that aren't in their own note. creating a note for every place isn't probably a good orderly idea plus very time consuming for logging. So if i want to log a place with it's location, i'd have to have a tag that contains say place/tx/dallas/name-place ... is this recommended? if i have something like
      `#on/mathematics` in logs, but also on entire notes, how will this remain nicely searchable as these two types of overlapping tags grow? Should we commit to different tags for these two things?
      I'm not sure about making so many tags like this, or maybe even just leaving the name of the place out of the tag. I'd like to have a manageable amount of tags which is perhaps why you've switched to the type on log structure.
      Anyway, this is a lot! Most of which you've solved for yourself but i am trying to learn how to make sense and implement it all without a code knowledge. I know that once this is up and running more it'll be seamless and i can focus more on output from the vault. Thanks again and let me know if i can book a session possibly!

    If I was to purchase your demo vault, will this include any updates that may come down the pipeline or would I have to purchase the demo vault again to take advantage of any updates you may roll out?

    • @construct_by_dee
      @construct_by_dee  Рік тому +1

      Hi Captain! Thanks for the question.
      Unfortunately it won’t contain any updates - updated vaults would only be available to my ‘members’ with the main purpose of servicing people who gain a lot of value from my way of setting things up - and have the means to buy the membership.
      For my main viewer - I aim to make the tutorial free and as complete as possible - allowing people who don’t have the money, or just want to following along with the process - to still get to the same end result. Rest assured that the videos will go through EXACTLY how everything was created.
      For the other vaults, it will be video specific - meaning that the vault will mostly contain what I went through in the video so it is easy to follow along with and 100% clear how everything works within the vault.
      This is the only way I get something back for the content that I’m putting out - so trying to make this mutually beneficial is my goal - while also teaching people, especially those in a position where they can’t buy a built out solution
      I also have a couple of people I’m consulting - these are people directly reaching out to me and pay me for a couple of hours to help them 1-on-1. I don’t have any spots left for this month, but will have some some capacity in March. Might be something to consider if you want direct help with your use-case.
      Strength and honour!

      @@construct_by_dee Thank you for clarifying and being so thorough in your response. I have been going over your videos (which have been an invaluable tool) and have slowly been distilling down what I want my note system to be. You mention on a few occasions that your note system is in a constant state of iteration; I am wondering if any of your previous videos have then become outdated by contrast to your current note taking system or if things are fundamentally similar enough that it's a none issue. Also apologies in advance if in fact you have a video on this already, but I have yet to come across you talking about naming conventions and how you arrived at how you structure/name your tags, notes and so forth. Do you have any resources that might be helpful in picking a robust naming convention? I want to be able to pick a good naming convention from the beginning that I can stick with indefinitely.
