Cataloging, Classification, Information Science, PKMs and YOU! - Knowledge management - Obsidian Forum
Hi y’all— I’m here today to talk about library and information science (LIS), personal knowledge management (PKM), and YOU. Since this whole PKM/B (base) thing has taken off there has been endless endless endless discussion on how to organize things. Systems seem to pop up all the time ranging from PARA to Johnny Decimal, to folksonomies, etc, etc. This is a really fascinating and interesting time to be around and also very exciting to see this developing. however one thing that gets lost ...
Using Johnny Decimal With Obsidian Solved My Organising Woes
The granular system I swore I’d never touch turned out to be the missing half of my paperless equation
Why I’m ditching Obsidian as a task manager
Sometimes a note-taking app should just remain a note-taking app.
I think I know what’s the true source of my anxiety when it comes to my system. I came across an interesting video by Carl Pullein about how organizing tasks into project folders (like how I’m doing it) is a recipe for overwhelm. Instead, he recommends a “time sector” method.
Why I’m ditching Obsidian as a task manager
Sometimes a note-taking app should just remain a note-taking app.
It made me go – aha! That’s how I’d prefer to organize my work. Since my work is often fluid, and priorities change day by day, I’d like a system where I can “see” what I need to do in any week. I found Pullein’s system fascinating.
Hide/Show Properties and "add property" button in Reading Mode - Share & showcase - Obsidian Forum
While we are waiting for the devs to let users choose how to handle Properties section visibility, I developed a some workaround.

Anyone Generate Teaching Material/ Course Lectures Out of Their Notes? Share/Showcase Structure Workflows Templates?
I’ve typically maintained all my lectures in a behemoth LaTeX project, with each topic having a behemoth TeX file. I probably will stick to LaTeX for the final output, so I’m thinking of using Obsidian more as an “idea/narrative/resource/structure” compiler/manager, and the actual production pipeline in a dedicated project … but I’m happy to thinking about bringing this into full Markdown within-Obsidian workflows if anyone has anything to share. What I’m thinking now is to break everything th...

API Key - Enter your OpenAI API key.
File Exclusions - Enter a comma-separated list of file or folder names to exclude from the search completely. For example, if you want to exclude all files that contain the word "drawings" in the file name, you can enter "drawings" in the field. If you want to exclude all files that contain the word "drawings" or "prompts" in the file name, you can enter "drawings,prompts" in the field.
Folder Exclusions - similar to File Exclusions but only matches folders instead of anything in the file path.
Path Only - Enter a comma-separated list of file or folder names. Notes matching these patterns will use only the file names and paths of files to make connections.
Heading Exclusions - Enter a comma-separated list of headings to exclude. Smart Connections will exclude 'Blocks' with headings that match the Heading Exclusions from the search.
For example, use this if you have a commonly occurring "Archive" section in many files and do not want the contents to be included when making smart connections.
This only applies to 'blocks' and does not change the content used for matching entire files.
Show Full Path - Show the full path of the file in the Smart Connections Pane. If turned off, only the file name will be shown.

Obsidian and GTD - Obsidian Rocks
Obsidian and GTD. At first glance, it may seem like these two systems have nothing in common. One is a tool for taking notes, the other is a system for tracking and completing tasks. Two different things, right? GTD is a controversial subject in its own right. For some GTD is too complex, for others, […]
Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.
Open tasks tend to occupy our short term memory until they are done. (this is called the Zeigarnik effect)
Those of us who complete a lot of tasks need a good system for keeping track of our commitments.
Our commitment system needs to be completely trustworthy so we aren’t tempted to store tasks in our brains.

# Ted Talks are dangerously eloquent
Or, as [[Hamlet]] would say, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
A perfect example is the talk called “How to sound smart in your TEDx Talk”. [^2]
Eloquent talks trick us into thinking we learn more than we actually do.
They make us feel good without really improving us. [^1]
