#Obsidianapp #Obsidiannotetakingapp #LinkingYourThinking - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
"So you can have the confidence that your best ideas are not trapped in somebody else's program" So beautifully spoken. WIll add this to my Obsidian collection!
Yeah, such a major topic to choose obsidian above the others...I'm just starting with it, but already leraned from somenone's comment at Obsidians' Discord, is to be carefull with plugins...you do not want to throw away that future proof capacity, using too much of customizations... ;)
@@barmarcelo yes! great point. I'm in the server too, I might have interacted with you recently, who knows haha
@@barmarcelo discoord l;ink?
For some reason this is one of the most clear tutorials about an app I've ever had in my entire life.
Thanks, Christian - I'm really glad you found it so useful!
@@linkingyourthinking I would agree….I think the reason is because it is a combination of not just what Obsidian is and how to use it…..it also gives you the practical reality of why yiu should use it and great common sense explanations with the topic used as an example…..gives the listener something to use to perhaps apply to their topics and apply the concepts he explained. Also above everything it is the compassion of the presenter who believe s deeply in what he is teaching and is truly committed in helping his listeners…..and also welcomes people to write for further clarification,…..that is what makes this man so good….
Because he planned it using Obsidian.
This is a terrific series for getting started! As Nick mentions, writing in Markdown text is fast and gives you portable plain-text documents, but it's also important for beginners to know that, by switching to "Preview" mode, you get beautifully formatted text (without all the #'s and *'s) that you can cut-and-past into Word or wherever.
You're absolutely right about this benefit.
And you're presienct too! I may have already filmed an upcoming "Hotkeys" video showing exactly how to toggle Preview mode.
Thanks for this comment because despite its portability advantages, markdown is butt ugly and distracting. We are now coding fir the machines instead of the machines doing it for us! Nick does a terrific job setting and then delivering on learning objectives
Also I notice, you can right click and edit the current note in your default editor, which in my case is Typora, which converts markdown to wysiwyg on the fly.
This video has burned away all the anxiety that I had when I would look at Obsidian and wonder how I would ever start to master such a 'complicated' App. You've made the whole process of getting off the mark, incredibly simpler.
Nick I love the way how you are striving to maintain eye contact with us. Event tHough we aren't there with you in the literal sense! That is very professional!
I'm happy to hear that was appreciated!
"You can have the confidence that your best ideas are not trapped in somebody else's program"!! If this is not the best quote of the century, I don't know what is 🤩
that net-cluster thing is so freaking satisfying
I know right?!
Watching you work through the program so calmly just soothes my initial hesitation about using Obsidian.
I appreciate your zen energy. I always get anxious when learning things that challenge my brain (perils of being dyslexic) but you are calm and clear. Also, I can't afford to feel anxious and defensive when my bf is trying to teach me how to use obsidian. 😆😬
This is an excellent series of tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
You're very welcome!
Awesome video! Thank you so much for explaining the basics so well.
This was great. Thank you!
Round 2 Markdown first round knockout! luv it brotha! keep'em comin! 🥷
Glad you like it!
Really love your guides and Obsidian
Thank you! This is really helpful!
Excellent stuff, man! Thank you!
Nick thank you for this - it has really helped me grasp some of the breadth Obsidian is capable of.
You're welcome! Glad to help.
Dude, I've been using Obsidian for months now. Productivity through the roof with this software, seriously. And today I just learned that I've been doing almost everything #wrong! **LMAO!** Thank you so damn much for these videos. Extremely helpful for and #ADHD bastard like me who needs a calm and easy walkthrough! You're my boy blue!
so kewl again. honestly, i've rarely seen, if at all, someone who explained things as clearly, cleanly, and simply as you do. I'm very impressed. really appreciate it, thanks dude
The lessons with you takes fun 🤩😍
You made it look easy. Thank you!
Your voice combined with the music is very calming
Thanks, Kai - I hope you found the video helpful as well!
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers considering how well made these videos are. Thank you so much for your work!
I think it's because every comment reads like a bot account, or like an intern at a marketing firm being held at gunpoint.
@@Flumpfy Maybe so but making things simple is a lot harder than it looks. Usually the hardest. And thus deserved to be recognized.
I've been needing to do serious note-taking to gather thoughts and ideas that are often lost which I often find regretful later on, sometimes years afterward. Been hearing about Obsidian. Tried to get into it. Seems too complicated. Delayed for over 1 year then found this video. It does help me get started.
I don't care if the other commenters are bots to be honest (they just might not be). I just find these videos useful. In the times of stupid YT shorts and TickTockers, these kind of videos are valuable. And that matters to me.
And yes, I am NOT a bot.
Great video. Thank you.
Very well curated series to quickly understand how to use Obsidian. I can’t find anyone doing it better on TH-cam. Subscribed!
following along great so far! Thanks so much!
You've made markdown dead easy and simple for me!
Superb!! Thank u!
Nick is such a spiritual hype man
Maybe one of my favorite comments ever lol
@@linkingyourthinking haha keep it up!
On “the final note” section, I find that restrictions can often be the best way to boost creativity. Great tool!
I was initially somewhat confounded by the blankness of Obsidian, now the blanks are filling in! Thanks.
Wow, you really have a talent for explaining things with a good vibe! I salute you!
These are amazing videos on Obsidian. Thanks for letting us know the WHY aspect of using obsidian and how to be more productive.
Making mod description even faster now!
This was the perfect introduction to Obsidian, I'm so glad I found this video, it was so helpful!!
Nick - your work is incredibly well done. Truly grateful that you have built all this for people to improve themselves, their lives, and the lives of everyone. I think that give up learning new things because they get lost, lose momentum, or cannot follow the methodology because of the lack of skill of their teachers. You provide clear, concise, and meaningful, communication and support. As a fellow teacher and coach of many years, I appreciate your work. Thank you and I look forward to much more from you!
Came from "Простые Мысли" channel :)
У меня реально не получается разобраться, везде на английском инструкции
@@javascript289 так ты ьоже оттуда или как?
Да, да от Глеба с Простых Мыслей, уже голову сломал с этой программой, не могу разобраться
Oh, did they mention my channel or something?
@@linkingyourthinking No, but he mentioned Obsidian as example of program that can be used for Zettelkasten
Your enthusiasm for the topic is infectious, best. Obsidian vids I’ve viewed. Thank you.
Thank you. This is excellent explanation. So clear and straight to the point and easy of understand
best series of Obsidian
Greetibgs form Mexico! thanks for all your videos, you are wonderful and georgeous!!!
I came from your IMF system. I'm a big fan of yours. Keep up with the excellent work!
Thank you! The IMF has been refactored into the LYT system. I'm super excited to share that in the next couple of weeks.
I honestly didn't notice at first that this was Nick Milo. the IMF system is awesome and I'm really looking forward to seeing the LYT system.
I've been using Obsidian in a rather naive fashion for quite a while, but I'm definitely ready to get into it a bit more, and make my use of it more efficient. I like these beginner tutorials even as someone who's not completely a beginner, because it helps me make sure I haven't missed something. For example, I never really used tags. I can see their value relative to the nested folder structure I have been using (allowing you to give multiple tags for a note, etc.), so I'll definitely start doing that now. Thank you!
I still have some specific questions, but I'll go through the rest of the tutorials first to see if you're already addressing those somewhere.
Really the best video to understand obsidian 😮😮😮😮 awesome work brother🎉
Thank you!
Thanks for the simple tutorial on markdown. It's not as intimidating as I thought it would be.
watched this two years ago, so glad you started making these videos
Lovely to find you, having downloaded Obsidian recently. I plan to use it for my Masters in Psychology beginning in January. You have a wonderful teaching style and I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. I’m still teaching, always learning and turn 64 next week. You’ve got real talent.
honestly I was pretty intimidated by learning this new note-taking software (then my worries vanished in the span of this video and your first introductory one). You teach the subject matter really well! Thanks for the support!
Amazing series, simply amazing
Thanks Hasan!
I am watching all the ads on your channel just to support your amazing channel! Thank you 🙌
Thank You and the programmers for this software that I imagined so many years ago, Very happy someone did it finally!
Excellent goodness in this information and video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I knew all the things explained except for those specific to Obsidian which were a few, but still I enjoyed the whole video which means to me that you are doing the job greatly! Thanks!
This is so helpful--Thank you!!
You're welcome, Deb!
I have been a loyal Evernote user for over 10 years and have been generally unhappy for the last few. I didn't realize just how unhappy I was until now! Thanks for the great content!
m in love with u man ... content so good n clear tysm for making this series 😍😍
So nice of you
Thank you Nick. Frustrated with Evernotes as I couldn't organize it the way I wanted it & Intimidated with the complicated Notion, Fortunately I stumbled upon your series on Obsidian. Your new subbie :)
Thank you, your ability to nail the explanations so succinctly is indescribable! Great series and it has motivated me to use Obsidian.
Really glad you found this series helpful!
Thanks for making Obsidian fun to use !
You're welcome, Walter and you're right - it should be fun to work in!
I am stoked! I literally typed along since video one, to really grasp the concept. Your video is outstanding so is your way to explain. Thanks a ton!
I'm glad you found these tutorials helpful - really happy it's resonating with you!!
Great lesson 2.
Thank you!
Thanks for the basics!
You're quite welcome!
I'm super glad I found this app and tutorials. This is going to make keeping my worldbuilding notes organized _so_ much easier!
Really glad you found it helpful!
You make really cool, useful and educational videos 👏🏻 thank you and greetings from Mexico 🌮
Thank you very much, and you're very welcome!
You're such a good orator, and an explainer! Beautifully explained.
Such kind words - thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this series.
I´ve just took notes from this video with obisidian! Really Cool, Thanks!😬
Glad it was helpful!
tks so much!
Thank you
Love your vids, they are very well made. This is how you are supposed to teach stuff. :) Obsidian will work for me.
Thanks, Craig! Glad you found them useful.
Thank You
You really know how to teach. Thank you so much, because of you, i know now, how to use this application. Thanks again
Happy to hear that!
Thank you very much for making it so simple. Absolutely systematic compared to other guides.
You're very welcome!
Thank you, bro it's very useful.
You're very welcome, Mattia!
i wondered why you didn't use the preview mode in obsidian . this is the point . we use something like # or ~~ and so on , to form our text to looks better . so when we write our markdown , we should render it to loos without the shapes and stuff .
Thanks for your hard work, Nick!
The keys you mentioned help me to not overthink about formatting during my first days using Obsidian.
You gave just the right amount of what matters most for now.
Looking forward to your next guidance.
^^
Really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Thanks and I'm glad you've found these videos useful!
Thank you so much for these videos. I'm just starting to use Obsidian and this is exactly what I needed, great and clear explanations step by step. I'm so glad I found you and looking forward to keep learning with the next lessons! :-)
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Never knew this cool stuff. this was a great video as it always is 👌👌💯😀 Thanks alot
Happy to help!
Great explanation! I just started using obsidian and it is amazing. Thanks for the good work and keep it going please.
Glad you're finding this series useful, Brian!
This is the only reason I have not started to use it yet. I spend most of my energy with new programs figuring out how and if it will be useful for me as an artist. It’s obviously useful to me but I never put it together that markdown is an actual system and all the videos iv watched seemed like gibberish when they used the system.Thank you for creating this series.
You're welcome, Arthur! I hope it's going well for you now.
Kinda have this "Steve" from "Blues Clues" vibe. Good video.
That's a deep cut! 🐶 Glad you enjoyed the video.
this series is really helpful. I have too many separate notes referring to much the same thing. Obsidian is much better at note-taking than textedit.
Amazing!
Thanks, Nikolay!
Thank you for the best tutorials for Obsidian! Clear and so useful! Question, when I’m in the Title Area and hit “Tab” to start my markdown, it doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t go down to the markdown area to start my notes. Any suggestions on why this is not working?
Your channel deserves so much more subscribers! Keep up the amazing work. I will for sure recommande your channel and share your videos.
Wow, thank you Kevin!
This is all still quite new, so maybe it will take a while for people to catch on.
I've watched the 1st video out of curiosity, and when I started to watch this one I thought that I might forget about the tags. Now I've decided to install Obsidian and take notes while watching the video :)
Wonderful!
Thank you very much for these online lessons. I couldn't find a convenient lesson in Russian. I will continue to work on your videos and send them to everyone who will get acquainted with Obsidian.
That's so kind of you!
My studying English wasn't just a waste of time.
Still love it - 2nd part !
The best Obsidian tutorial series I've ever run into! This app looked hella scary and I really wanted to use since it seemed better for me in comparison other apps. Thanks so much!!✨✨
100% Agree!!
This app is INSANE as it allows you actually train your brain to remember rather than just taking notes, found this by accident!!
Dude interestingggg. I switched from lastpass to keepass for the same reason. Now that my current note taking app is struggling, I am looking for alternatives. May have to jump to obsidian.
cool thanks
Really nice and clear tutorial. Easy to follow and understand which is rare in most TH-cam videos. Overall very good teaching and presentation skills. Well done and thank you.
Wow, thanks!
thank you!
You're welcome!
you made me an obsidian fan tonight
thank you for helping me organize my life
You're welcome, Alexander! Glad you found it useful!
Thank you! You really do useful content. Came from "Простые Мысли" ))
Awesome! Простые Мысли looks like a great channel!
Thank 🙏🏻
Thanks
Things would have been easier if I had found this video when starting to play around in Obsidian. Very good explanation in a brief video.
I hear that, Terry. There can be a steep learning curve at first. I'm glad these videos have helped you now though and I hope it's going well!
