What I always appreciate about Nick and Linking Your Thinking is out clear, methodical, and useful the content is. This is no different. I now have the Cornell Notes plugin installed and the templates set up. Easy. I also like how Nick talks about the thinking behind the writing, and that he is always connecting it to the larger mission of personal knowledge management (PKM).
Thanks Scott, I really appreciate that
Light bulb moment for me when you said “non-fiction books are for thinking not reading” - I never considered this simple concept and all the self help books I haven’t finished due to treating them like a fiction book and feeling they need to be read through and then been putting off. Sometimes it just needs someone to speak it out loud for you to hear so thank you.

This cornell note completes Obsidian!! Now I am creating my notes faster than ever before. I want to put my every byte on Obsidian.
Thansk Nick for making this great video, and super thanks for tfthacker of course for making this great feature to Obsidian.
Yours is the third video I've watched this week (on topics only loosely related to each other) that has pointed out the importance of being active rather than passive when taking in content.
Great point about not having to bring across every highlight. Mine come through on Readwise, but I will often delete them when curating the note. But I only read digital books.
Nice to hear your process Ric
You make ideas sound so poetic and marvellous :D Such a great video. And a great mind, I'll come more often now
Nice 👍 and the thumbnail is 😎
Hello Nick! Here's another Cornell Notes alternative that should go in your video description, especially since it's a free and highly functional alternative: ua-cam.com/video/2pioGU0jUtU/v-deo.html
Interesting video, I recently started writing notes with a pencil and later reviewing and saving it as questions in a vault with the spaced repetition community plugin. I can clearly feel the learning benefits of this new approach.
I'm experimenting with the same workflow!
Just earlier today I thought of hiding information within collapsible callout blocks that are titled with a question. Thus allowing me to test my knowledge.
I thought of tagging my ease of recall until I master it, and it no longer needs to be a question.
I figured I'll just use headers as questions and have them collapsed.
@@YaSynAmRaUi You can also do free recall and then reinforce anything you missed. I use questions long term only if I need a cue to remember something specific.
Thank you for the video. It was really helpful. I'm not going to buy it rn cuz it's just overwhelming for me, and I'm allowing myself to keep my vault simple for now :)) I'll keep this method in mind and come back for it later, hopefully.
I like the idea of what is repeating in our minds
I have *just* been looking at Cornell Notes over the past few days, because I have always had difficulties with writing in my own words, struggling to form my own thoughts, having dialogue with books and just generally trying to take things further (and into more original territory) than just consuming knowledge. How did you read my mind?
I knew you were going to say that
by god i need that notebook
Awesome work, thanks! How do you add tbe stylized drop down highlights? Is that a theme or sometbing?
you are a genius❤
I like this; awesome job. Question, @16.08 how do you open a folder from one vault in another vault?
What is that black surface you wrote on at the start of video?
Great video, well explained about what to me is a game-changer. Can't support enough the work here. Cornell Notes package is some of the best money I have spent on an app in a very long time. For me, it just really brings note making versus note taking into focus. Use these templates daily. Thank you and TfT Hacker for all you do for the community.
Thanks for that!
Hi Nick I recently bought the Cornell Notes templates to use in Obsidian, thanks to your recommendation, but I can't get it to work. I even took it into an Apple Store, but they weren't able to help and seemed to think there was something missing from the snippets folder. I'm still relatively new to Obsidian too. Is there any chance of a video which shows exactly how you launch Cornell notes within the Obsidian? Thanks
Nice take on note taking.
But I have a question.
How do you make the Cue go to the left side? Is that a plugin?
Is there a way I can only get this kind of function?
It is a paid plug-in. If you search for tfthacker you can see his paid plugins.
What I failed to understand (because I don't know much about Obsidian yet) is the benefit of having a Cornell System on this app vs others such as Notion. It seems like there is more complexity involved which could make harder this system to maintain. Thoughts?
Is there a video about getting your design on obsidian?
Hey Nick… it looks like you've somehow pulled in custom callouts. Can you share what plugin you used for this? I love the callout functionality you've been using lately and can see huge use in my library. Thanks!
I customized callouts as css snippets and include them in Flight School, although I'll be updating, cleaning, and adding to that in flight school's next version
@@linkingyourthinking We don’t have access to the Flight School program as LYT cohort grads though… correct ?
Love this video. I've been using Cornell notes for years via a standard OneNote template. Being an Obisidian user I love the fact that I can incorporate this. $20 is a little steep. I will consider it. I really appreciate the background thinking, re: you don't have to copy everything. it really is important to illustrate this. Cornell allows you to do this, simplicistically. Please keep up the great work. BTW, what theme are you using for obsidian? Super clean!
Thanks Charles, it's a modified version of Prism
Hi Charles. Actually, you set the price from as low as 14.99 or to a million dollars. You can decide 🤓.
@@tfthacker Thank you
@@tfthacker can we still set the price? On my end I can only see it @ 19.99 USD.
Hi Nick and thank you for another insightful video. I couldn't help but check a bit the structure of the Obsidian vault you use in this video. Is this your "main" vault ? I was particularly surprised to see the folder structure and in particular the location of that book note in the breadcrumb at the top! Observing how you structure your tags was also insightful. Thanks again! Please write a book ;)
Thanks for noticing. Yes, it is my main vault. I'll be sharing more when the Ideaverse Kit drops end of August
@@linkingyourthinking I can't wait for this! Is it possible to "pry" some early details from you? ;) From the look of it your new system is flatter aka less folder oriented than ACCESS and more rooted with tags. Am I correct ? Another question, do you track tasks and if so is it in that same vault ?
Fewer base folders (ACE instead of ACCESS) but everything is basically the same. Nothing radical, and nothing different with tags really
Forgive my ignorance, but can Cornell Notes replace a Zettlekasten note process? Because I struggle with ZK.
@16:42 you say, figure out how to install it properly to Obsidian, arg! I'm new to Obsidian and don't know how to add it. Your other directions are so clear, I was sure you were going to explain how to add it! Help!
0:46 shoutout to the professor from Hilarious House of Frightenstein being used as stock footage
Thanks Milo. What theme are you using?
It's a modified Prism, which I'll likely be using more often for videos
@@linkingyourthinking Got it, thank you!
Love the theme modification
Excellent bro you should write a book also
very cool, Tom Cruise 😤
Justin Trudeau
Wow very useful comments, guys
Hey Nick, Long time student of LYT, cohort (3), and just finished the “How to Work a Book” class (Great stuff… looking forward to part 2 of that one).
I’m wondering if there is a shortcut I need to know, for creating a quick list of the numbered pages, or did you manually just enter the page number for each line?
I just went into a google sheet typed the first two numbers and dragged down to get the rest. Then pasted into Obsidian, highlighted and made them bulleted :)
@tfthacker point of clarification: this doesn't force ALL notes to use this format, right? You can just apply it on a per-note basis?
Right, it only applies to the notes where you have defined the cssclasses property. So you control when it the Cornell Notes formatting appears..
Does anyone know what theme this is?
if anyone can let me know what that gorgeous blue notebook is please do
Hello, what good content but please if you can leave the subtitles hosted by UA-cam so that more people have it within their reach,
I still like mind maps better for summaries because I can visualize the entire chapter and see the connections between concepts
The beautiful theme Nick is using on Obsidian. Anyone who knows?
It looks a lot like Prism. I hope this helps.
Yes, it's a slightly modified Prism, which I'll likely be using more often for videos
I love your content, but you HAVE TO say when a content will not be free at the BEGINING of the video.
When someone is giving their time to pass on information and insights into various methodologies, the fact that one of the supporting elements from a third party provider is chargeable doesn’t lessen the value of what you’ve been taught. You can still make use of the principles regardless of whether you are able to invest in additional extensions.
No one HAS TO do anything for you. You choose to watch, and if it gives value to you, appreciate what you’ve learned, and try saying THANK YOU.
Just my opinion of course, but I don’t see why anyone owes you an explanation/heads up before providing a free of charge learning opportunity. He gave his time, experience and insight.
The phrase is THANK YOU.
Stupid logic from the reply above me ^^. if they're making money from adsense it ain't free. The audience and content maker both offer each other something transactional. The title directly tells you HOW TO MAKE CORNELL NOTES IN OBSIDIAN. So it's not just "one aspect" it's almost all of it. They only told you how to take Cornell notes and nothing else.
The audience does not need to say thank you when watch time allows content creators to monetize their videos. ESPECIALLY, when the video is in itself, an ad for their product.
Imagine telling someone to say "thank you" to a random youtube. Yikes.
Why not atomic notes instead of keeping all the info on the "chapter 5" note?
when I work a book starting on chapter 5, i miss things contextualizing chapter 5 in 1-4. Always go in the Author's order. Starting in the middle is not cool, its adisadvantage.
You are correct, if you are reading for the author
Hi @Nick_Milo, et al, I recently installed Obsidian and downloaded the template but am not sure how to launch it on Obsidian. Please point me to a link or walkthrough.
0:12 Judging by the logo: this video has been sitting in your backlog for a while already, hasn't it? 🤓
Haha, just used the old one out of habit
Bro I don't have any idea about obsidian but I am looking for it so can you pin some of you best resources of yours.
There’s a whole playlist on his channel and there’s a newsletter sequence you can sign up for as well on his website
Watched the video all the way through - Knew at the start from how this dude talks that he's the kinda guy who uses light theme.
You obviously haven't checked out the other 70% of the videos ;)
It's in your DNA@@linkingyourthinking
Waiting for someone to make it a free plugin. Not paying plugins like dataview, templater, excalidraw and paying for this small feature is completely beyond logic. Well if someone's life is stuck on this feature for them it is a good buy.
I agree - It does seem completely against the ethos of obsidian.
Same here. Like the idea but can't justify the pricetag. I can just make a similar one on my own and don't need to pay for anything.
9:50 "Charles Darwin's cousin and brother in law." -So his sister married his cousin? Don't remember reading that in Theory Of Evolution?
This should be free and open source...not paid for.
