The timestamping is strong - very nice, thank you for that 😊
@@base_2582 haha thanks, i know its essential for people. I'm not about wasting others time :)
@Bryan Jenks 🐄 thank you so much for this detailed taste of your workflow!!! love peeking at your brain. timestamp hopping 💦
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@@BryanJenks If you put these timestamps in the video description, it should hookup UA-cam Chapters. which change the seek bar of the video to include the information there.
Super excited to dive into this video. Taking notes on how other people take notes. What a time to be alive
another layer of meta is you're taking notes on how i took notes on the book 'How To Take Smart Notes' 🤣️🤣️🤣️

@@Felewin note-ception
just took a metanote of your comment
@@Felewin fractaking or frotel
Just watched it and will definitely rewatch this a couple of times! Interesting to see all these ideas/concepts/processes you have to Organize the flood of ideas that’s hammering down on everybody all the time!
thats the goal!
in a macro view my RSS feed is the firehose
i cherry pick for my true inbox or inputs
i then use my content processing workflow to distill down to literature notes --> seedlings --> incubated notes --> evergreen notes
it works for me which is the important things :)
Man, this video is so much jam packed with value, hard even to believe that we can get all of it at one single occasion!
Glad you enjoyed it! been putting this all together for a while now :)
This is so underrated.. They way you explain everything and the system you developed in Obsidian combining zettlekasten and evergreen is nice, this video is a pure gold mine.
Thank you! The V2 has been filmed and im editing it right now ;D
Bryan really enjoyed this, watched it now 3 times, and able to get something new each time. Keep it coming. All the best!
Glad to hear it! :D
This is just such an awesome and complete video and it’s a great guide for me and my new obsession with PKM.
I can really tell, that you do this because you personally are totally into it, and that makes it so genuine and relatable. Thank you so much for this!
glad you enjoyed it! wonderful to have you here :) updated video coming soon!!
This was freaking incredible. Deep, knowledgeable, thorough. Keep up the awesome work
and this is dated, planning my updated video soon ;D
@@BryanJenks Any plans on the update video?
I'm just starting with Obsidian and reading about Zettelcasten, your video was very informative and interesting, not everyone shares and explain their workflow in such detail like you did, thank you!
The sheer effort and organization of this is incredible! You have expanded my mind to what is possible! Thank you for this!
Wait till you see the 2021 version :)
Hi Bryan. I really loved this video. I spent hours watching it and taking notes and I learned a lot for sure! I just bought you some coffees as a way to say thank you! Please keep those videos about PKM, Zettelkasten and Obsidian coming! All the best for you!
thank you so much for the support! 3 more videos already scheduled :)
Enjoyed this video, Bryan! Thanks for walking us through your setup :)
Glad you enjoyed it! a bit long winded and with every new update the workflow adapts and mutates but overall im happy with how i got things working. Enjoyed the live stream this morning! 💯
All of this is wonderful, but especially grateful to hear the reco for yinote...I had no idea extensions like that even existed. This is such a game changer. Thanks for the fantastic walkthrough!
I stopped using it shortly after this video lol I used memex for a while but now I’m using the media extended plugin in obsidian
Your videos are the only one-hour videos that I watch in full
Wonderful to hear, im glad you enjoy them! 🤗
A fantastic overview of Obsidian and your awesome workflow. Top!
glad you enjoyed it :)
Hey mate, thank you so much for this. By far the clearest video i found on this method of note-taking. I stumbled across apps like obsidian and roam a few days ago, and the associated Zettlekasten method. I was blown away by the potential but honestly it did my head in.... This helped me to make sense of it and begin implementing it. great work!
Glad it helped! This video needs to be updated but i'm glad it has helped :)
It sounds like a huge revolution to the way of thinking and working daily. Definitely will try your way of managing notes!
Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
This was a great video, you packed a ton into an hour. Nicely done.
Thank you! this is why i need scripts lol so much to pack in and i tend to ramble hence the need also for timestamps 🤣
Yo I've been looking for something like this for so long, thanks for the long format video it's very appreciated
Glad I could help
Thank you! I'm so proud of this community of Obsidian
It is a great community :)
Brilliant video. Dense with great information, ideas, and strategies. Bravo! And thank you! Especially loved the insight on using backlinks as tags to support emergence of structure.
glad you enjoyed it! wonderful to have you here :)
I clicked just to watch something about Obsidian, ended up watching your 1h long video and getting all the apps / books you recommended. Great job. thanks for that!!
glad you enjoyed it! :D
Very inspiring video! This sold me on moving from physical Zettelkasten to digital.
the power of search and scalability is a massive draw
Great video! Love your workflow. Thanks for sharing 🙏 BTW you have an amazing voice for singing.
Thank you so much! Lol im trying to learn to sing from my sister, she's received some training and like to sing Opera style music, i'd like to sing in Norwegian some day 😅️
This helped me a ton. Mr. Bryan's contents are gravely valuable!
Watching this video was really worth the time. Keep up the good work! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is probably best Obsidian video someone can watch
Wait till you see the 2021 version ;)
Hi Bryan, BTW, this was a great video. Thank you for taking the time to walk through your setup. There are several things that I plan to use in my Obsidian workflow as I get started.
Towards the end of your video, you mentioned something about wanting to be a better writer, hopefully someday in the academic field. I admire that desire and suggest your read the book "Writing Science" by Joshua Schimel. I just went through it for this first time over the last couple of months, and it was an excellent book!
Thanks for the tip! i'll check it out :)
Legendary video! I appreciate it Bryan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for putting this together, it is quite incredible! 🐄
Glad you enjoyed it! 🐄
im gonna leave this comment just for ur support, system looks great thanks a lot for letting in!
Much appreciated!
Really, such a good video Bryan. Really great insightful content and presented super well. Also great app recommendations. Really appreciate how you were able to balance out the technical side of things by still making clear the idea of the end goal of output/synthesis of ideas, the natural way to think and to not get stuck in content consumption etc, and what the core ability and benfits of the app are. For those who don't get so far initially, he sums it up super concisely at: 48:53 . bravo mate! Happily subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed the video! :D
Bryan, if I tried explaining to you how personally tailored to me this video is, you would not believe me. Thank you so much!
♥️
Hi Bryan, this video answered most of my questions on how to use Obsidian productively. Your explanation of MOCs emerging organically, but I am still not clear on using Zettelkasten for the PKM part. I found Obsidian after it was mentioned in comments of a Ted Nelson video, but because my system is a hot mess, I can't even tell you which of his videos it was. But after seeing this, the workflow is becoming more clear to me. I subscribed, and will look you in Discord, as I still have plenty more learn from you.
Glad to have you here :) and welcome!
I'm very new to all of this and even though it was a bit overwhelming :D, this video is just amazing. Bravo!!
thank you :)
Yesss I think of Zettelkastening as gardening for my ideas too
Evergreen knowledge :)
This is gold. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this, much appreciated
You’re most welcome!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see the ANKI implementation workflow.
its coming!
I just started using Obsidian this is very helpful thanks!!
Glad it helped!
This is an excellent guide on how to create the digital "2nd Brain" that complements our own brain and can move us from merely collecting and curating knowledge to using that knowledge to create new knowledge.
Everything is very well explained and presented and inherently honest.
It has made me very excited to learn more about how Bryan gathers and processes information and turns it into internalised knowledge that helps him, and by extension us, become a better person.
you are too kind :)
amazing video and well explained, thx! subscribed
thank you! and welcome! :)
🐄 would love to see some (or all) of your saved searches, and other tools!
I honestly dont use them too much
the only one i may actively use is the one that lets me use smart random note while avoiding private notes: path:-"Journal" AND path:-"Templates" AND -tag:#⚙️ AND -tag:#🗺️
eh... Wow.. SO impressive how you do this. You are very knowledgeable and very well presented, Love and Light from Europe 💞
Great video, help me a lot to building my own workflow, thank you.
Glad it helped!
Dude, you're a god! Best regards from Brazil!
Wow, thanks! :)
Man , that is so cool as who can use Obsidian efficiently !
🐄 Thank you for a great session.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🐄️
Thanks very much. I have been switching between note taking applications. I realized one thing, keep it simple format that is universal such as text. So finally i have decided to use vscode because its very flexible. I can script in bash/perl/python and take notes in the same window. I find that vscode if very useful. However, I heard about obsidian and am looking of transferring all my text documents and notes into obsidian.
I like your approach or letting the vault emerge and not so worried about the folder hierarchy, which is the right way. Our computers should be make to take care of that easily and get access to it just as easily.
I think im going to ask my son to look at obsidian as a mean of organizing his thoughts and ideas into a single system. I my self am going to adopt obsidian as a pkm system.
Again, thanks for your work and now to go watch your 2021 video :) . Keep up the good work!!!! your video's are very well done too!!!!
👍
Glad you find them so helpful! :D
Excellent work sir!
thank you! :)
Thank you for taking the time to record this. It really helped get a grasp of how to fit Zettelkasten method into a digital workflow.
How did you get the graph view to appear as a flow chart?
The flow chart is not the graph in obsidian the flow chart is written with mermaid.JS in a markdown document and rendered in a document inside of obsidian ☺️
Wow, this is one heavy process. Which is exactly my flavour.
glad you enjoyed it! :)
Such a great video, thank you. Which other video / posts / resources would you recommend to someone who just discovered Zettelkasaten and Obsidian to quickly learn how to best structure & write a note?
i have a whole PKM playlist and livestreams for Zettelkasten. There's also Nick Milo and Effective Remote Work
Thx for the video! I'm inspired to develop my own system in a smart way like u, with tools :D Btw, also like your way of talking. Just saved the video for learning the app and then subscribe the channel...look forward to watching your new videos! ⛽️⛽️
Im glad you enjoyed the video :) and welcome!
Ok those workflows are dope
HAHA im glad you think so 🤣
absolutely love it
Thank you!
Very elsborated but still simple - Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Bryan! Love this. How did you get your tags (corresponding to tag searches) + the counts to show up in the bottom left pane?
you can drag the panes around by click/dragging on the icon for that window, and its the tag pane core plugin in obsidian :)
Very useful information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
good video - I am 3 weeks into Obsidian (11 year Evernote user - and I'm migrating soon)
wlecome!
I enjoyed this video. I particularly liked your discussion on how you name your files with a different type of character. I have just started with Obsidian and have named a few notes with my own version of date and topic but they're long note titles. I might try your method. I also like how you use the potential page links as tags until they morph into something bigger. I'm coming from a few years of using Evernote on and off and my most recent try has not been successful. Brain just shuts down on seeing all those notebooks etc. Obsidian seems to provide an easier way to link things (or not). I also like the graph. I find it helpful to see what notes are linked and I have found it easier in some instances to find what I'm looking for. I tried Roam but I bailed on my free trial. I like having my own data for one thing. I have subscribed to your channel.
Glad to have you! It was a big growing pin moving from structured hierarchy to top level pools of files but with the linking and graph views it’s been an absolute dream working with Obsidian. I’m glad you found the video helpful!
@@BryanJenks Yes, I'm trying to figure out the easiest, simplest way of being able to retrieve stuff. I might try the daily note.
Hey Bryan, thanks for this amazing content. Do you have suggestions for automated note transfer / page number tracking from physical books?
I do not at the moment, sorry!
Great video, currently just keeping head above water re research data for phd after adhd diagnosis so this is a great illustration of the overwhelming tech tools which look so sanity saving (esp as not super techy, barely understand what plug-in is, ha). One question re ref papers, coukd u suggest an app for Endnote and pc (rather than zotero and mac) pls? I could google it but am always waaaay behind and fall down a rabbit hole whilst searching.
Thanks for the great help, Angie
zotero for sure and i have many videos on it
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it
I finally came up with a simple workflow, where I have three types of entries - Ideas (article or essay genre), Concepts (definition/wiki genre), and daily notes (memo genre). The main source for evergreen notes is the discussion section in articles, where you're trying to summarize theses for future articles. So evergreen notes don't come in single, they come in packs, already connected. And concept entries just contain my definition and are a plain and simple label for some conceptual space along with the articles/essays with examples and counter-examples.
Once you understand that every thought you came up with is either a potential thesis for an article or a supporting argument, your workflow is straightforward.
awesome!
This is brilliant! Excellent advice and really well presented. So glad I discovered this near the start of my PhD. Last time I was at uni we didn't even have computers (shows hold old I am). Mind you, Niklas Luhmann did pretty well with his little pieces of paper and I like your point about not letting the cutting and pasting option make you lazy. I'm putting it all into practice right now - research rabbit, zotero (finally landed on this after considering mendeley and endnote), obsidian, evergreen notes, YiNote etc. Really hoping lots of connected and original thoughts will flow - a little stream has begun at least. Thank you so much. Are there any key updates or extra tips based on Obsidian v1.0.3?
Definitely check out my more recent workflow video :)
Amazing! Finally a real master introducing a complete workflow in obsidian, I will watch this video again and again. As a beginner and a non-native English speaker, I have a very small question to ask you. Why is there a link in the title of each card, if it is the author of the book or some Tags I can understand, what is the purpose of create a link to the title (in the text)? Since each card (file name) already shows the title, why is it still mentioned in the card text? Also, the way the files are named really stood out to me!
Hey Kevin, Thank you for the kind words! 🙇🏻♂️️🙇🏻♂️️🙇🏻♂️️
I liked your question enough to make a permanent answer for it here: github.com/BryanJenksCommunity/FAQ/issues/19
Glad you like the file naming, there was a strategy behind it ;)
Cheers!
This is awesome Bryan. I'm a Obsidian VIP as well and I'm totally loving the experience.
I use Zotero as well. Your Zotfile→Mdnotes workflow is great. But you mentioned iCloud for your Zotero db. I'd like to do this as well but everywhere ppl tell me the db will get corrupt if using it like that. Have you had issues with that?
i should say i dont have my live Zotero DB on cloud i occasionally make a copy and put it on there. i guess i could also just write a script to automate this but yeah i don't have my live DB on icloud
Obsidian + MarginNote One Love!)
never tried it, what do you like about it?
This is fantastic Bryan, thank you for sharing. Are you using a green screen here?
You are most welcome, yes at the time of this filming I was still using my green screen a lot
I'm probably gonna come back to this gold mine, but for now I've implemented your @people into my system.
awesome!
The moment you said you have ADHD..i felt like thats my homie lol..i am trying to organize my life/everything..great video bryan! may be some total beginner videos about obsidian in future?
ADHD brains Unite! 🧠️
better place for questions would be my FAQ repo so others can benefit from the answers:

:)
Gonna try and dive into your videos more in future.. need to hold back atm with other priorities. But was specifically wondering if you cover analog note-taking and how it could integrate with digital, or at least handwritten digital (tablet)? I feel such a strong need for at least some handwritten experience but also feel need for digital integration. Trying to figure out a workflow. Just dipped my toes into Obsidian so far, but exploring how that could integrate with handwritten as well.
i try not to do analog personally, its a lot more work to transfer those notes. if you had to do it though there is OCR scanning to convert images of written text to digital text
As a fellow ADHDer, thank you so much for this video!!
you are most welcome!
11:48 this is the biggest drawback fundamentally keeps me wandering in front the door to digital world.
IMO the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks
Thanks for the YiNote recommendation, I was thinking about a pipeline to take notes from the videos I watch on UA-cam.
Video is outdated I’m working on a new version check out worldbrain.io I absolutely love it for taking UA-cam notes for the timestamp annotations, I still think it’s a beta feature but it’s absolutely the best compared to yinote
@@BryanJenks Thanks, I am a Software Engineer, so I really love your approach to Obsidian, a current teammate explained Zettelkasten to me lately and I got hooked on the idea immediately. As I use Notion for my management but I never liked taking notes on Notion. Your videos are perfect for me, I was looking into Obsidian content and yours is by far the best for me
Thank you so much! I’m a SWE as well so that affects a lot about how I approach things so I’m glad you enjoy my videos :)
Outstanding video. I also like your focus on results not playing with shiny things in the note-taking applications. Thank you. I would love to see the Obsidian to Anki python script working. I tried and it looks fantastic but no cards show up in Anki :-( .
Thank you! The ultimate goal is using tools and their features in a way that actually helps me achieve my goals, shiny things are nice but if they don't help me achieve goals then its a distraction to me :) The python script can be a little tricky to configure, or at least it was when i did it last, i may do a video on it soon we'll see i have a few more videos already in the queue and loaded at the moment
OMG ADHD back in grad school again.... this is a game changer... once I sort it all out. The struggle is real.
❤️
Thanks. Very interesting.
You bet!
Ty for this very informative video, could you list the applications that you are using? Cannot find the Gnotes extension you mentioned!
im glad you enjoyed it :) the extention for the video notes with timestamps i mentioned is yinote:
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/yinote/fhpgggnmdlmekfdpkdgeiccfkignhkdf
very nice!!
Thank you!
45:09 "Who remembers everything about statistics?"
I'm sure there's a way to figure out what proportion of the population remember everything about statistics...
LOL OMFG 🤣️
Thanks for the laugh man, what an amazing comment.
Bryan, thanks for your lovely video. Would like to ask what theme did you use?
gruvbox with a lot of custom CSS added :)
@@BryanJenksNoted, thanks Bryan.
Hey Bryan, you have such a fantastic graphic on all your topics. It looks like a solar system. With me, I only have gray dots that are always the same size. Since I am a visually driven person, I would also like to have this view with different sizes and colors. Is there an automatism behind or are the points manually adjusted?
There are graph groups you can set for the colors :)
Thank you so much!
my pleasure!
Top! Thank you!
You bet!
I don't know if it's the ADHD, but I find this incredibly interesting. Observing your process will help immensely with my endless project, 'The Conspiracy of Everything'.
Thats awesome! :D
I have been using Evernote for years to gather my blips and thoughts...any ideas for moving, or better yet linking to my evernote content? Thanks for the video..subscribed
I havent used evernote to much of any degree. I've heard from others in the Obsidian forum that the transition can be a pain. One potential avenue that may reduce the pain is to download an app called joplin which is free and open source. Joplin can import Evernote exports and Joplin also keeps files as plain text.
thats said if you plan to follow the zettelkasten route, it may be best to review all your notes in a once over and decide methodically what is actually worth converting over and what holds value versus taking a mess from one app and putting it into another.
Glad you have you! :)
Awesome!
thank you!
Hi Bryan, I found this really useful so thank you. I was wondering how you make the numbered citations at the 00:20:10 mark?
markdown footnotes!
add this to an obsidian page:
^[this is a footnote]
Excelent!!!! thanks
You're welcome!
Liked the video!
thank you :)
I somehow turned play speed to 0.75, and was surprised when during the sleep-inducing, calming narrative Bryan told he had ADHD. That didn't ring the bell at the moment, though. It's only when it took me 2 hours to watch an hour-long video that I noticed something was wrong with the player. Maybe, I used a zoom-in gesture on my touchpad in an attempt to see better small print of text on the screen that I unknowingly changed the play speed. Overall, an interesting overview for me as a new Obsidian user, and I'd recommend watching the video at 80-85% of the original speed.
lol i cant watch my own videos on anything less than 2x 🤣
Bryan, Great video. Can you please explain more about the INDEX file? I downloaded your templates but do not see that one. Thanks!
the index file is included in the template vault i give out, but its really just the "home screen" of your vault, providing a few jumping off points into your vault from there is a great way to use the note so others can explore your notes more easily
Mr Jenks, Thank you for making this video. I was wondering which tool do you use to highlight and annotate PDFs. Cheers
I use the default pdf viewer on macOS: Preview :)
I tried to do it the same way as in the video, but it didn't work on windows 10. I installed in zotero zotfile and mdnotes. Then right click on PDF icon in zotero -> manage attachments -> extract annotation. I got links to a page in PDF. But when clicking on this link, the PDF document was always opened on the first page.I tried to install three different apps from the store windows 10. I tried to install the EDGE browser on the system as the default program for opening pdf files. But the picture was the same. Then I tried to download the free pdf viewer from this link www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/ And I did it
Xodo is the best I've found.
Someone present me to zettelkasten two days ago and i'm laying in it trying to use with Obsidian.
Amazing Video!
A little question: at 11:11, how did you overlap your main content with those new preview panels? Is it a css config?
Sliding Panes Plugin :)
Hey I have ADD too and this seems to really be what i've been wanting for a few years now and never knew this existed, how long did it take you to learn how to use this? It's not as complicated as coding is it, or is there a steep learning curve? Also since a lot of my notes are medical, how feasible is it to have like audio files, images and some video clips will it start crashing my Pc and taking loads of resources?
I like your seeds and finding/stumbling upon thoughts it's like your brain will want to take the easiest routes like the water through the grand canyon analogy
cool thanks mang
how long to learn? i dont know exactly. I already had a breadth of experience to build upon so milage may vary. I would say that the learning curve is only as steep as your intended and desired use of the tool. want more advanced options and customization of the workflow? it will take some work then.
audio, image, video all can be handled just fine in the app. and as for crashing your system, without knowing your specs i couldnt even begin to tell you, your milage may vary but i dont expect there to be a crazy big problem.
glad you enjoyed the video!
The best part: Link your ideas, dont' focus on the graph!!

Installed Yinode during the video :D and started taking notes :D
i stopped using it shortly after this video 😅️
@@BryanJenks What do you use now? Google won't allow YiNote to connect to Docs any longer. I don't really like ReClipped as much. It's more complicated and not as reliable.
@@christhehab3788 i stoped using yinote less than a month after this video, i use the obsidian media extended plugin, just put out a video on it
How do you set up the Andy method of notes, where it enables you to layout all your notes on ‘your desk’?
it's a community plugin you need to install and activate :)
