📜️ Zotero Research Paper Workflow | Full Comprehensive Setup Guide 🛠️

,

Overview

So I've heard that much of my Zotero workflow was still too complex to fathom or setup by others so I have endeavored yet again to make a comprehensive overview video of the process but this time in a sandbox environment with granular setup instructions where appropriate and hoping that this will really open the door for many where this workflow is concerned :)

🌟️ Supercharge Your [[Links]] In Obsidian | Comprehensive Guide 🔗️

PART 1

Overview

The supercharged links plugin is a super awesome lightweight plugin that can be used to display visual flare or additional information on the links in your vault. This plguin can take a rule like "if a note has this tag" and then apply content in a variety of ways.

After making this video i actually realized that if i turned off the plugin nothing happens, i actually wasnt using the plugin in all 🤣️ so i have to make an update video shortly to cover the topic at more length because it will be the same result but with additional functionality and displays of the metadata.

PART 2

Overview

So in the first video it turned out i wasnt using the plugin at all for the effects i thought were attributed to the plugin, rather it was all just CSS the entire time. Now i actually setup the plugin (after this little discovery) and implemented it and fully covered the topic 😅️

📅️ My Fully Automated Daily Note Review System In Obsidian 🤖️

,

Overview

I have had a fairly robust daily notes system since the early days of my usage of Obsidian. Over time of course this process gets refined and improved. The system i have now is probably the most intentional i've ever been about journaling and reviewing the words of my past self.

I hope there will be some useful nuggets of insight in this video that will help you shape and improve your own system :)

Making A Personal Knowledge Management Dashboard In Obsidian Canvas 🎨️

,

Overview

I'm still really enjoying canvas a lot even with how simple it is compared to other diagramming tools it really does add an additional edge to the workflow for organizing thoughts and ideas visually as if they were actual note cards spread out on a physical desktop.

That "spread out" and visible all at once nature of canvas is the thing that really makes it appeal to me and is the real value add. So with that element in mind, lets see how a dashboard would look like/function when based in Obsidian Canvas

How I'm Organizing My Autism Research With Obsidian Canvas

, ,

This Video

This video was a fun one to make as i've been falling into more effective ways to doing more research type work and as you well know in the doing of the thing, the truth of the act presents itself. It's one thing to say "this is an effective way of using this tool" and another to actually be doing real work with the tool and actually experience pain points and find better optimizations and strategies.

In this video I aim to show you some of the ways i'm actually performing some of my research information consolidation and analysis using Obsidian Canvas and a variety of other tools that i already talk about ad naseum on my channel. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the YouTube comments!

Obsidian Media Extended: The Best Way To Take Notes On Videos 🎥️

, ,

Media Extended is the best approach to note taking on video files that ive seen yet. It makes it super easy to get what ive always wanted from video notes:

  • Timestamps that jump to that point in the video
  • Timestamps without effort
  • Easy markdown notes generated live while watching a video

I started with YiNote early in 2020 and moved to the browser extension memex when that offered a better experience and now finally this extension already in the Obsidian eco system adds so much value with such simple functionality.

There are 3~ main points of criticism i have about the plugin that could be worked on, but by and large its an essential at this point.

Main critique:

  • The cursor end point after timestamp insertion being on the left v.s. the right
  • The cursor focus after opening the plugin's modal
  • The cursor focus after using the plugin's modal
  • The ability to just hit enter and have the modal open the media after pasting is missing

Check out the plugin and let me know what you think!
