| I started up a job a few months ago and threw myself into Obsidian, and it has definitely been paying off. Here's how I work, ymmv of course: - I create a "Work" folder. Inside it are folders for Weekly Notes, Tasks and Information. - At the beginning of each week I make a new Weekly Notes page. I have a subheading for each day, and a subheading in each day for a todo list. After the todo list, I put down a heading for each of my meetings/activities that I want to take notes for and fill them in accordingly. - When I begin work on a non-trivial ticket or project, I make it a note in my Tasks folder named with it's Jira tag. That makes it easy to link to from my weekly notes, and gives me a loose idea of when I was working on which tickets through backlinking. I then use these notes to plan out the problems, store personal research and organize code snippets. - The Information folder serves as a kind of "Misc." folder. I have sections for travel, guidelines, best practices, and I even store some PDFs relating to my job in there. A few other general tips for Obsidian: - Create a group in your graph view for "Work" and it will highlight all of the notes in your work folder with a specified color. Pretty handy. - Make heavy use of linking, both internal and external. Tags are also nice, but don't be afraid to break out your notes when things get too heavy; that's what it's made for. - Liberal use of the keyboard shortcuts is a gamechanger. Ctrl+O to open notes, Ctrl+P to open the command palette (which I mostly use to split panes), and hold Alt+Arrows to quick-switch to adjacent panes. - Plugins are nice, but it's easy to get carried away. Mind Map, Tasks, and Admonition are the only ones I keep enabled. Hope you get as much out of it as I do. It sounds like a lot, but it feels like second-nature to me now. Feel free to adapt this to your own needs or skip it all together, this is just my personal workflow and what made me fall in love with Obsidian. |
