Content

I first started making videos on YouTube 7 years ago, but it's only in the last two years that I feel I really hit my stride in terms of consistency. Part of that is due to taking a lot (I mean, a LOT) of courses on creating videos for YouTube specifically, and the other part is building a system around processes so that I don't forget to do things.

... and, of course, I use Obsidian to track a big part of it.

New on the Patreon vault

Some of the things I show off in this video are new additions to the Patreon vault (you can download that from this post):
- my video template
- the Video Content Board I showed, using the Kanban plugin
- my Fantasy Calendar setup
- a new workflow note called Creating a video content calendar with Kanban and Fantasy Calendar, for steps on how to use this setup.

As a bonus, something that didn't make it into a video is that I use a bunch of other writing templates, mostly for writing but sometimes also to structure videos. These are things that help me think through a topic using a particular format, such as ABCDE Storytelling or Yes and. I've put those as templates in the Patreon vault, too!

Enjoy the video, and your weekends! <3

My workflow for making videos with Obsidian

I've been making videos with Obsidian for about three years now, and I thought I'd share what I've learned.
