Excellent video. Really learned alot by following your visual design thought process you described. I agree with your design choices. It makes a huge difference (modulo the nitpicking you described. Thanks for sharing that as well. It happens...). Also, thanks for providing some free material on your web site so we can try out your ideas. I like your approach to switching thinking contexts within Obsidian as you change from one area you are working on to another. I've struggled with this problem as well. I've run in to the same issue you solved, which is recreating the Obsidian high level layout and context (list of notes and the note placement). It can be quite time consuming to make those context switches. I typically do that once or twice daily for different projects/activities in my daily/weekly/monthly schedule.
you're making it increasingly harder for me to stop thinking about dropping notion and moving on with obsidian... especially seeing someone following the ppv system as well 😫😫
@ryeojnes, Why not use both? Notion PPV system really shines with Cycles & Reviews, Habit Trackers and Project Management. Obsidian is just great for everything else. If it makes you feel better i still have my Notion PPV system, just doesn't get much love these days. I also dump a lot of work stuff into OneNote cause I don't like keeping too much work stuff in Obsidian. Follow you gut and stick with what works :)
@@PaulDickson7 i tried using both (which is what i’m still trying to do) but at times the lag of notion is too much especially having used it all these years, the amount of data it has to load, i’m sure it’ll get slow too over time! i totally agree with what you said, currently i too use the ppv in notion for everything, while using obsidian more as a “note making” software where i would make permanent notes and work on the linking of them eventually, basically, using notion as a dumping ground but obsidian for really selective notes that i make. only “issue” is when i want to reference obsidian notes to let’s say an article/book highlight/video etc, all these would have been recorded in notion, sure i can download and put the file into obsidian but this are just the minor inconveniences that i still feel having one app do all would still be the best (of course, both apps have their strength and limitations)
@@LoicTalks i agree too tho i wish it was this simple for myself, am a design student and prolly makes more sense for my creative work/output to be done in notion… but the lack of linking of notes there is becoming a pain overtime, which is why i tried having my own personal more thought out notes in obsidian but then again sometimes they overlap. prolly just an issue on my part 🤣
@@ryeones hey mate I have drop a comment because I have used a lot Notion, but it’s not smooth and it leads me nowhere in term of creativity. I try Obsidian it’s a fucking monster i’ll never go back to Notion again. After a while on Obsidian i figure some features about organisation are a pain. Now I use both, I take the best from each software. I HIGHLY recommend to be maleable and create a workflow with both! Advice with goodwill :)
Hey Paul , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

Bro notion for organisation and Obsididian for writing / producing !
