Strategy to begin

  1. Just start writing.
  2. Write at-least 10 notes of 10 words each.
  3. Convert some into to Double Square Brackets
    1. Create at-least some connections between the notes
  4. Open the graph view.
  5. Goto settings and enable all the plugins you need. I have enabled all other than the Zettlekasten

ShortCuts

  1. Use CMD + Alt + (Right of left arrow) for next and previous notes in Obsidian
  2. CMD + O for quick switcher or Open
  3. CMD+P for command Pallette
    1. Tab for tabs related
    2. Explore tab groups #todo
  4. Select the text and then type two left square braces to convert it into a link

Advanced

  1. There are a lot of community plugins. Do check them out regularly.
  2. Every Note in Obsidian is just a markdown file in a folder. If you understand this properly you can do a lot of automation, tooling and build your workflows around that.
  3. You can use linux commands like
    1. mkdir -p {{path/to/directory}} for creating folders hierarchy
    2. bash mkdir folder{001..512} for creating folders with sequential names
    3. touch lesson{001..005}.md for creating markdown files with sequential names.
    4. Use @code to open the folder with VS Code and do the operations you generally perform during coding. Sometimes multi cursor can come handy in doing some easy transformations.
    5. You can make use of file processing command sed and text processing command awk
    6. A little bit of shell scripting can also make tasks for you much easier.
  4. Learn about templates
    1. Used it for daily template and people
