I'm so glad I discovered your channel recently! I love how you bring so much emotion and positive energy to PKMS. You make me feel like I'm discovering the world in a new way as I build my second brain. As someone who experienced a lot of trauma in college, you're the first "professor figure" I've actually looked up to in a long time. Just know you're improving so many lives by sharing your passion and wisdom, Nick!
I'm working on building a workflow using the ACCESS method of organizing and learning/incorporating tips and tricks to automate a lot of processes and the amount of information that is presented at one glance. For example, in building a dashboard for management, each letter has its own collapsible callout, while I use an automated template for Daily notes and task management to get me clued in quickly on what needs to be done. Technically, this is a distraction in itself 😅

I also use "Fullscrean Focus Mode" and "Typewriter Scroll" Plugins, and set "open / close sidebar" on hotkeys to be more focused. Font is "Courier new" because that represents "typing" for me - and yes, make it big! :-)
Like you mentioned at the beginning, "open note; title it" may not sound groundbreaking to some, but I appreciate the simplicity. Yes, I'm learning about Obsidian through watching your videos, but I also really feel like I'm learning more about how to *use* obsidian. I've spent most of my working life in and around swimming pools, so I feel in some ways that I'm now needing to learn a new process for accomplishing work on a computer - literaly, digital workflow lol. Anyway, thanks for making these videos!
I'm curious-what are your top tips for eliminating distractions and staying focused in Obsidian? I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share and comment below!
I change the view mode, so you see notes differently, not like browser pages, but like pages in book. This way you only see 2 pages at max and you don't need to click between them because you see them both at the same time. I don't remember how it called in English, something like "collapse notes" Idea about music is good, other not for me, if i made new note i will be distracted by "what tags, properties, links, folders this note should have? What template for this nore should i use? What purpose this note should have? etc. Also other notes on same or similar theme help with new ideas sometimes. If i stuck - i usually open daily note, this is main purpose of daily notes for me - to help me to start thinking.
Hello Nick! How did you add the "Linked mentions" section below the text field? For me, it never looks like it is part of the text box when I drag it there. Thanks a lot for all of your videos and tutorials on Obsidian. They are absolutely amazing and quite easy to follow!!
Hey Nick, is there a way to make the writing area appear more like a page. Like an A4 standard size page. I find it a bit jarring to see the text floating in the middle of that very wide negative space. Thank you.
Good grief Nick! This is Obsidian - the ultimate "roll your own" app - themes, plugins, templates and more. It's an absolute minefield of rabbit holes - no way it's ever going to be distraction-free. It's entirely up to the user's mindset how productive one can be, and being late-diagnosed ADHD I know this better than most. Distractions there will be, the trick is picking up again where you left off. I've now integrated a bread-crumb approach to this in my daily notes, so I can restart quickly hours or days later, without trying to recall where I stopped last time. The one tip I can offer on minimizing distractions is to compartmentalize your work into workspaces (use the plugin for switching quickly). I find it helpful for focusing on the project at hand, even while juggling a number of them at the same time.
You can browse web pages in Obsidian. I can't strongly recommend you do so, but if you have a workflow that could benefit from it, maybe try a tiny test

Best obsidian guy on UA-cam
🙏
This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you Nick for all the tips.
As always good content and easy to understand, great work Nick!
Thank you @yuriyaga!
you are one of the greats
🙏
They Soundscape plugin is off the charts. Holy Moly that is awesome.
The Soundscapes tip was a subtle but amazing improvement! 🎶
It's not an obvious one :)
Biggest thing that has helped me solve all of this is jumping to a physical notebook for a while and then import those notes into my vault later.
Wow! Love the soundtrack plugin! I have an Obsidian note where I collect UA-cam ambient favorite links, but this is SO much easier!
Yeah, not having to have a different window pop-up makes Soundscapes really work well for me. Hope it works for you too.

My #1 distraction elimination is "meditation".
@@BK-ok2nn It's hard to go wrong with meditation
Setting a timer for the task (30min, 1h…) and commit to finish when it stops, whatever I have done. It makes me focus somehow
This is gonna be great
Thank you!
Hey Nick, thanks for a great vid, I wonder why I don't see "close all other tabs" command tab in my Obsidian. Is a part of a community plugin?
Great video, when are you doing more obsidian content
Using workspace plus to recall my default uncluttered views such as home, work, search view, search tag
Honey wake up, new LYT video just dropped.
Haha, glad you feel that way ;)

Workspaces is great. Thanks for sharing. It works because it's can be such a beneficially jarring context shift
Can I transform obsidian in a browser?
