re: Obsidian.md anyone here using it

I am mainly using it for work, I have years of personnel notes in Evernote and I am not going to migrate those over at this time.

I have switched to Obsidian for work notes and I'm loving it so far.

I have to deal with a plethora of varying information everyday, in one meeting it might be a financial conversation about this months financial statements, and 10 minutes later I'm talking to someone about our recruiting efforts. I have multiple short and long term projects I have to manage. In obsidian I think I've finally found the tool to assist me with managing all disparate information.

I set my structure up to where a daily note is the hub. As the day progresses, I will either make notes within my daily note, but any meeting, conversation, email, etc... gets put in a sub note that I bi-directionally link with the Daily note. I have various templates mapped to hotkeys so while I'm in my daily note, if I'm going into a meeting, I just hit the Meeting note hot key and a new meeting note (template) is created and updates my daily note with a link to the new meeting note. I use the hover preview function to see all the subnote contents unless it's something really important then I bring that info from the sub note onto the daily note via Transclusion.

I've been really blown away with the functionality. The learning curve is really steep if you want to get very advanced with it. I'm still working my way through writing queries for tasks and using Dataview.

I am using the Tasks plugin as kind of a Traffic cop for things I need to remember. If I want to remember to bring up something in my next weekly call with my team, I create a task and tag it with #ToBringUp and #Team. On my template for my weekly team meeting, I have a query on the note

```tasks
not done
tag includes #ToBringUp
tag includes #Team
hide task count
short mode
```

This gives me a list of everything I've tagged with #ToBringUp and #Team. If I want to remember to bring something up with my boss it's #ToBringUp and #Boss. When he calls, I have a hotkey'd note template that has this query on it, that way as I'm talking to him, I can easily see reminders of things I need to discuss with him...works great.

This is my Boss Note template. The query above is in heading section Things to bring up with Boss That gives me a list of things to talk to him about.


This is a flow diagram I made for my Obsidian usage.
