It's a very flexible system, which in theory allows you to create countless very different workspaces, all of which you can switch between with a few mouse-clicks.Įvery note I take, every book or article I annotate, every website that's of relevance to my research - it ends up in here. In this folder, all the sub-folders and files are created, your settings and all your plugins are stored in this vault as well. You create a so-called vault, which in its essence is just a folder on your computer. It is vastly expandable, with literally thousands of plugins, most of them developed by a very active community. In its base version, it's a tool that lets you create a hierarchical structure of notes, which can be linked together wiki-style in a number of ways. My main container, the place where all my notes, annotations, bookmarks and a host of other things end up is Obsidian. One tool to rule them all Obsidian - via obsidian.md Let me first give you a quick overview of the tools I use, and then describe how I plug them all together to create my workflow. This is not going to be short, but I'll try to keep it as concise as possible. Sure, I've had a host of different solutions to not lose total control, but I've never actually sat down and created a workflow that would incorporate all of those solutions into the one that would rule them all.įortunately, doing this full-time also meant I had more time on my hands than before, so I decided to tackle this issue and streamline the whole process.Īnd I've now, finally, arrived at a point, where I'm using one main tool to collect all my information and a plethora of smaller tools to facilitate getting all that information into that one tool.Īfter offering to share my workflow on my podcast, I realised that more people than anticipated have an interest in seeing how that works for me, so in order to streamline this process as well, I've decided to write it all up on here. This, in turn, creates the interesting situation where I have more literature I'm going through than ever before, resulting in a bit of a chaos. It's fantastic, not least because I can focus fully on researching and writing my episodes. As some of you who happen upon this post may know, I've been a full-time podcaster for a bit more than half a year now.
