Happy 2023, folks!

🎥 My time management setup in Obsidian

This week's video is about all the plugins and apps I use to get stuff done and make sure my priorities are aligned. The goal-setting is mostly the same as last year, but I've added more structure to my daily notes through rapid logging.

Note: This video will be unlisted until Friday, when I have to mark it as private shortly before it is published for everyone to see. If you try to watch it and get a "Private video" error, you've probably caught it in that small window. Wait a few hours and try again-- it will be published shortly.

As always, all the templates I show in this video are available for Patreons. You can see a list of your perks at any time here.

Updates to Patreon vaults

The vault. In late December, I added a workflow for taking book notes, including a book template and a QuickAdd command. This month I also updated the periodic notes templates (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) and the Goal-setting and Reviews to be in line with what you saw in the video above. I also added a key for the custom checkboxes in the daily template.

The TTRPG vault. For those of you who are doing the #dungeon23 challenge, I added a Dungeon23 workflow that includes a template and QuickAdd command for creating dungeon rooms. You can also keep track of my progress on that here, as I'm of course doing that in Obsidian.

🎥 Etherpad

I recorded a quick unlisted video about the Obsidian Etherpad plugin, which is an interesting workaround for doing real-time collaboration in Obsidian. It's not perfect, and it requires some technical knowledge to set up, but it does work for quickly getting feedback on a note you have in Obsidian.

#TIL (Today I Learned)

Over on Mastodon, I'm challenging myself to share one thing I learned every day. Sometimes that's about Obsidian, but it's mostly just about whatever I happen to have been interested in that day. I also post a link to the note I created on my Obsidian Publish site to reflect that earned knowledge. If you're on Mastodon, I encourage you to share your #TIL as well-- it's kind of cool to see what other people are learning.

Here's to another year of learning and sharing with you all!

My time management setup in Obsidian consists of a way to set goals, a daily note for rapid logging the present, and a review/retrospective system to evaluate past performance. In this video, I talk about all the plugins and apps I use to get all my responsibilities done-- without me feeling like I'm overwhelmed. // RESOURCES More stuff you can do with the Minimal theme: https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal Habit Tracker template by Saturday Gift: https://www.saturdaygift.com/habit-tracker-printable/ My Periodic Notes plugin video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uxj0XgMp0k My Reclaim video: https://youtu.be/cBVjpFDltvQ // TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:24 Core Principles 03:08 Goal-setting and periodic notes 07:52 Rapid logging in Obsidian 11:13 Task management with Reclaim 11:56 Other tasks on Checklist plugin 13:35 Habit Tracker 15:50 Migrating notes elsewhere 16:37 Obsidian Projects 17:22 Google Calendar 17:43 Year Ahead --- // ABOUT ME Site: https://nicolevanderhoeven.com Mastodon: https://pkm.social/@nicole My travel YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/luckydippers k6 YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/k6test // APPS I USE - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md - Readwise: https://readwise.io/nicole - Shortform: https://shortform.com/nicole - Reclaim: https://reclaim.ai/r/s/yYOqK // GEAR https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/gear/ // WANT TO SUPPORT ME? ❤️ Join my Patreon and get my sample vault with templates: https://patreon.com/nicolevdh ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/nicolevdh Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, which means I may get a small percentage when you sign up using those links.

Thanks so much for this video @Nicole, it's triggered lots of thoughts for me. Re rapid logging - do you know an easy way for the system to automagically add a time stamp for me? I don't always want to have to go find a clock, but in the nature of my work sometimes it's useful to know that X happened [3 hours] before Y, or I only got told about Z in the middle of the afternoon. If I could tell obsidian [add timestamp] at the start of my rapid logging bullet point , that'd save me multiple clicks...

Hey! awesome work! I just have a doubt. I dowloaded the weekly template and is not aligned with the on in the video, on the periodic notes. It does not show the dice Am I missing something ? Thanks!!

I love the walkthrough of the productivity system you use. I'm trying to streamline my processes this year, and got some great ideas from your video. Keep up the great work!
