The PKM Stack: A Simple Framework for Turning Chaos into Clarity
PKM is a system, not an app. In this video, I'll teach you a simple framework you can use to help you get the right apps in the right places so that information flows freely into (and out of) your custom PKM system.
It's called the PKM Stack, and it helps you align all of your information, ideas, and actions with your vision & values, freeing you to do more of what matters and turn chaos into clarity.

How to Do a Personal Retreat in Obsidian
HELP!
I'm unsure how to take the file folders from my MacBook into a file in obsidian...do I create a note to past the folder into ?
Great video!
Note toolbar sounds dope will check that out
'template' is not an available key and the tracker plugin doesn't support YYYY/MM-MMMM/YYYY-MM-DD-dddd date format
This is cool, thanks! I wonder if there's any update on this setup. I saw your video about Morgen, but the app is not free.
Very useful explanation. I highly appreciated and it helped me creating my dashboard. I tried with a single page note and get messed up with the thought of using custom CSS. Didn't think of the canvas last time. PS Gave the 1000th 👍
I am also personally exploring the construction of a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system and gathering various information. In particular, I find that your recent videos on Obsidian present the most practical methods. The PKM stack was very helpful as a framework! As an IT professional, I would be happy to know the assumed data model.
For people that were similarly frustrated after 7 minutes in: PKM just means "Personal Knowledge Management" in this context. I thought it would be the first letters of the technologies in the stack, like the LAMP stack.
use best plugin "Proletarian Wizard, a task manager for Obsidian"
Lovely. Excellent presentation of these ideas. Bottom up to top down.
Can you point me to any documentation on your set up for your "People Note" I Love this video. Helped me out a ton
For those having difficulty setting up the QuickAdd plugin: You now have to create a template file and insert the JS script into it. Put the name of this file in the "Template Path." Toggle on the "Set default behavior if file already exists" option. Select the "Append to the top of the file" option. I think that's it! (I'm watching the video already.)
Tracker gives me this error: " 'startWeekOn' is not an available key ". Can't really find a solution on the web. If I remove that line it says: "Invalid data range".
Somehow current streak is not really working for me does anyone have an idea why? I set it up and I have already 7days but it says 0
Great content! thank you !
All great but still subscription so a big NO
Funny, for me its the other way around. The quite statitc character of the task plugin queryies (you cannot easliy move stuff like in a kanban and the relation between the queries is a little hard to manager), adding a kanban to the tasks list while having day planner which blends in all the events of selected calendars just creates this overview for me.
Hey Mike! Thank you so much for sharing this! I have done by best to setup this workflow, but I am getting stuck on any images I have added to my MindNode mindmap. I export it and open it in Bear, then after I copy from Bear and paste into obsidian, I then have to go back and paste the images a second time. Is there a way around this that I completely missed? It isn't tricky, but I wanted to ask if you already found a workaround.
Great resource, thanks for sharing. Your link to your private community says it's not there.
Sorry about that! It’s currently not open to the public, but it is included in the Practical PKM cohort I just opened. I will eventually open it again, but for now the way to join is via the cohort. You can find details here: join.practicalpkm.com
Epic and amazing! You deserve far more views that you currently have! God sent!
Hello! Thank you for a lot of useful tips here. Could you please, explain, how to make a note with people as you have on the video?
Great video, thank you. Is there also a video available which shows the possibility of text formating? Text around images, layouting like in MS Word? Thanks.
Hello - my bare bones attempt at this has my tasks in call-outs indented like an extra tab to the right it looks awful … ideas ?
I did this and it's working just fine for me. ```js quickadd var task = await this.app.plugins.plugins['obsidian-tasks-plugin'].apiV1.createTaskLineModal(); const regex = /(- \[\s\] )([a-zA-Z0-9{}\[\]()\-_,.:;'"!?]+(?:\s[a-zA-Z0-9{}\[\]()\-_,.:;'"!?]+)*)(?:\s(.*))?$/; const match = task.match(regex); if (!match) {console.log("Name not valid");return;} this.app.vault.create("tasks/content/"+match[2]+".md", "") return match[1] + "[[tasks/content/" + match[2] + "|" + match[2] + "]]" + ((match[3] !== undefined && " " + match[3]) || ""); ``` This will create a new page for each task where I can write in.
Please keep up the good work! it is really wonderful to know your channel
this is so helpful and well explained!! thank you!!!
I would pay money to subscribe to a book club ran by you
How do you format the data range on the chart website? I tried this but can't figure out how to create a chart out of each column separately
Thank you. This was really helpful to see a practical example from someone who isn't pretending to have life all figured out yet.
Obsidian-Newbie here. I get the error-Message "QuickAdd[Error]: Error: Invalid template path for New Task Template path is empty." Any idea where I might have made the mistake? I tried a lot of things and also searched for answers but haven't been successful yet. I also wonder why this message is popping up in the first place as, in my understanding, I don't want to work with a template in this case, "just" a snippet of Java-Script code.
Did you change the type of choice from template to Capture? When creating your choice, left side of Add choice button is a selector for which type of choice you are adding. Check QuickAdd documentation if you want to understand which one of choices.
Thanks for the video. I don't want to offend you but I don't think the thumbnail is good. Smile, the hairstyle, no glasses and the pixelation of the books. I know this is certainly hard and takes time but since YT is not just for your fans. Maybe you can spend 10 minutes a day practicing. It also helps if you are photographed by a person.
You are correct, not a great thumbnail 😞 Appreciate your kind tone in the feedback.
May you please build a same system but in traditional Chinese version? Your system is genuinely great, but I live in Hong Kong and I read Chinese...Just want to study bible in traditional Chinese...I can provide monetary reward if you do so. Thank you!
I've not heard of any of these books. Meditations for Mortals and Never Play It Safe sound most interesting to me. Thanks for the list.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful 😊
Great list. The best part of this list is we have been reading quite different books over the past year so some of these are new to me and will make for some interesting reading as I start this new year. I'm a fairly new subscriber (in the past 30 days) and I found my way here because of your Obsidian content. However, this channel has more to offer and I'm inspired to add to my channel this year. Thank you and happy new year.
Thanks! I always get a little nervous posting about anything that’s not Obsidian-related, but it all connects in my brain 😂 Glad you’re getting a lot out of it, appreciate the kind words!
Your video helped me a lot. Thanks you
I don't have any coding experience. I'm trying to make this work. Followed the instructions to a t and got stuck. First, Habits aren't displaying in a check box format. They are just [ ]. Second, couldn't get the code, in Canvas, to work. I received an error message that "startWeekOn' was not is not an available key (re: setting up the calendar)
Canvas addons are heaven-sent❤
Love your explanation. I've implemented a lot from this video into my system. However, I've found that when a load (or reload) Obsidian on desktop or mobile, about half the time, quick add fires up the task modal and tries to create a task from the current line of the note. Have you experienced this? Any ideas to troubleshoot? Thank you!
Thank you. Looking for information how to see the tab in read mode. In edit mode the tabs are visible, but as soon as I switch to read mode, nothing. Than you for hints and information.
Thank you for this!
Wow, so much details and clarity. Thank you very much!
Media note is so gooooood Thanks bro
I really want to get this dashboard to work from weekly note instead, struggling to implement this though. Any suggestions or help? Thanks!
Thanks a lot of the tips! Do you think I can use the plug-in "writing goal" to track all the words I write per day? (Not in a specific folder or note) Thanks for your help in advance,
Interesting system, but what about the Project plugin?
13:20 / 28:08 This place in QuickAdd Settings,I don't feel like I understand,Can you explain in detail,How to set it?
after downloading QuickAdd, click Obsidian Settings -> QuickAdd (which is under Community plugins). At the top of the page, to the right of "Manage Macros" purple button, enter the Name as "New Task" and then click the button to the right of it (by default it says Template) to change to Capture. Then click the setting gear now next to the "New Task" item. lmk if you have questions!
Hey Mike, Mauro Lima from Brazil Could you make Practical PKM an RSS feed It would be easier to me to get along, than the email. Thanks.
This question is really stupid but my only problem with Obsidian is that I don’t like markdown… is there an option not to see the code at all? A WYSIWYG editor??
