Obsidian for Beginners: Start HERE — How to Use the Obsidian App for Notes - द्विभाषीय उपशीर्षक
In this video we're going to dive into the note making app Obsidian as if we are a complete beginner.
Hi, I'm Nick Milo and welcome to linking your thinking where we talk about the how and why of making meaningful notes.
Let's get started.
Okay, let's start by downloading Obsidian.
Go to Safari, type in obsidian.md and just download the latest version, allow that to download, close this.
Once it's done, open it up and simply drag it into application.
So I've already done that, and I've put it into my dock here, so let's open it up first time.
It should look like this for you.
And it's saying open folder as vault.
Create a new vault.
What's a vault?
A vault is simply a folder that Obsidian is looking at for its files.
So let's create a new vault.
And And let's vault.
vault.
create create A folder, and browsing location, let's put that folder on the desktop.
And create it, here it is.
So what we see is it's just it's right here.
That's all it is a simple folder.
Okay, so this is Obsidian.
We're in.
This is what it looks like.
A little intimidating.
I want you just to focus on this button.
New note.
That's the most important note right now.
So let's click on that.
I'm to blow it up a little bit.
it.
Right away, it allows us to change the title up here.
Let's call this guy, note star.
Our very first note, I hit tab, puts my cursor here, and I'm just going to say hi, I'm a new note.
That's all.
No start is just saying.
I'm a note.
So what we want to see here is that if we go back to the desktop in this folder, this is no start.
That's it.
It's a .md file.
Markdown, which is the same as a plain text file that you can open up with text edit, which is on any Mac in the world.
It's plain text is a type of format that as long as there are computers, or there will be computers that can read plain text.
And that's what we mean by a different term, future proofing, that we'll get to later.
Now going back to obsidian, we've made a note, but what happens when we want to make a second note?
Remember this, new note, new note, okay.
And let's call this one, never note, no one likes me.
Only like, this is the first magical moment in a software that can make the links.
I'm gonna hit bracket, bracket, which pulls up a list of all my notes.
And I'm going to, Select note star.
They only like note star.
Now if I do a click on note star It takes me back to that original note
That is a huge huge game changer I mean,
I'm getting goosebumps here because once we start linking our thinking it opens up a whole new avenue of thinking Honestly,
it kind of reopens up the avenue of how our brains actually work.
So we're kind of getting closer to what feels natural But let's let's use like a real situation on this
Imagine you have a favorite movie we all have our favorite movies for me one of my favorite movies is the Matrix
It comes up all the time in conversations.
I'm thinking about the red pill and the blue pill and choices And not kind of externalize that in this piece of software?
So let's go back to new note, and I'm just going to say the matrix.
And I have pre-written one sentence.
So first off, what am I trying to do here?
I'm not trying to make a critique of the movie.
I could.
I absolutely could.
But for my purposes, what I like are the ideas, the concepts that I glean from different sources, such as movies like the matrix.
and Morpheus presents Nioh with this choice,
the infamous red pill blue pill,
and so what I'm going to do is just highlight this, I'm actually just going to hit the bracket and then bracket button again.
And so I've created a potential new note.
Now once I click on it, now it's a new note over here.
Here it is, right?
That's pretty cool.
That's really powerful.
That's awesome.
So what's so cool about Red Pill Blue Pill?
Well, it's really about choices and the willingness to have one's beliefs challenged.
And you know,
the more I thought about this concept,
I threw in a second sentence,
which is perhaps it's so difficult to take their Thank Because we lose that sense of control right and sense of control.
It's definitely something that's integral to a lot of my Thinking about when I you know feel in charge of what I'm trying to accomplish and other times when I feel like chaos is taking over
So I know that's a in the
future That I'll want to create but here's the thing right now
I can just add these brackets and it won't create the new note until I click on it So it's just kind of a placeholder.
It's reminder for myself.
Here's the other thing though.
This me of something.
So I might type here related and let's call this adversity paradox.
Cool.
Now let's click on it to create the new note,
adversity And so the adversity paradox is this crazy idea that we're never really seeking out adversity in our lives.
But when we find it, we tend to grow from it.
So it's the idea that we get stronger from the stressors in our lives.
I mean, that's pretty fascinating to me.
So I'm thinking about this idea.
And it makes me think immediately to a book that I had to read in high school,
and I fell in love with actually is by Victor Frankel and his man search for meaning.
And he makes the argument.
He's a holocaust survivor.
He was.
And he makes the argument that it's not sex that brings us meaning.
Like would say, it's not power that brings us meaning, like Adler said.
It's suffering that brings us meaning.
Now, like nowhere in the adversity paired paradox is the concept of Victor Frankel.
But because of how our brains work from our own personal experiences, in this case mine, I was able to make this connection.
And to me,
this is And this is the power of linking your thinking is because you can create these thoughts over time and they start to grow and build which will get into more.
So I'm just going to make the Victor Frankel note.
I'm not going to touch it right now.
And I'm going to go back to the adversity paradox.
What else?
What else?
What never note could learn a thing or two from this concept.
All right, so we tied never note back into this.
And takes us to the next really cool aspect of linking your thinking, which is backlinks, also known as linked mentions.
So right now, check this out, we're in this note called adversity paradox, and it has a linked mention to red pill blue pill.
Let's click back to that.
Now, what does that mean?
On red pill blue pill, it links to the adversity paradox.
So, going back to the adversity paradox, here's the linked mention, right?
Now that we're at Red Pill Blue Pill, we have that the matrix links to it, right?
And we can even read in context that it says Morpheus presents Neo with a choice.
So we can click on that,
and now we're back So that's how these linked mentions work,
and it's a great way as you look at one note to see all of the different connections that you've made,
which takes us to the last part of this demo, which is the graph view.
Now check this out.
This is pretty cool.
This is what we made in the program today.
We started with note star.
Basically, never note didn't like note star.
It was jealous of note star.
And so when we linked the two, we formed a new relationship.
And now these two notes are linked.
And we can build context through that link.
And then never note, well, we didn't go in this order, but now it's connected to the adversity paradigm.
which is connected to Victor Frankel.
Adversity Paradox is also connected to Red Pill Blue Pill, which is connected to the Matrix.
So in this way, we have created all sorts of contextual goodness.
So let's take a step back.
In a short amount of time, we've made all sorts of new connections.
We've externalized them in a program like Obsidian, and we started to grow them and cultivate them.
And the magic is, let's go back in.
Because, let's say a year passes,
and get back to this Red Pill,
Blue and I'm thinking to myself, you know, this reminds me of something that just happened yesterday to me.
And I write this in.
reminds me of something that just happened, et cetera, et cetera.
And so do we see what's happening here?
This note doesn't lose its value over time.
It's value actually grows in time as I have more experiences and I externalize those experiences the connections grow Now why is this important?
First and foremost when you link your thinking you improve your ability to recall those memories those those thoughts those ideas
and We want to be able to have confidence that we can find what we're looking for when we want to find it.
That is first and foremost, and when we link, we have a better chance of remembering.
Secondly, it allows us to build things as we're seeing here.
So we might not start with the perfect Michelangelo sculpted out of my mind.
but we can get there slowly over time, right?
And that's just through our own experiences that we're adding value to our existing collection of thoughts.
But practically, you might be thinking, why is this important?
Well, it depends.
I mean,
if you're somebody who is a creator,
this is the perfect way to create a new article or make a new speech,
because you've already done 80% Now it's just crafting it and honing it for whatever particular medium that you hope to deploy it in.
But I find that a lot of value just comes from having conversations with other people and
in having this in the back of my mind,
I'm making all sorts of leaps of insights across genres and domains and it just makes every conversation that you enter that much more
interesting and fun and engaging because now when you're listening,
you're more actively engaged because you're trying to understand whatever that person is saying in some other
concepts that you've taken some time to really flesh out.
and this is where newness and novelty comes from.
And that's going to wrap up our first video on the basics of obsidian.
We didn't just cover the how,
but we really dove into the why, and I hope you can start to see why this is so exciting.
