Feynman's Favorite Problems 💡Practical Obsidian + NotebookLM Use 📝

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In this video, I show you how I actually use Obsidian & NotebookLM to explore a topic: Feynman's Favourite Problems. I use this exploration to build an Intuition System for my Second Brain. A creative engine workflow built with Obsidian & NotebookLM. An intuitive filter to test all of my ideas against so I can turn those ideas into action. I walk you through how I researched this Favorite Problems Framework and built a practical system within my Obsidian personal knowledge management, my second brain. I also show you how I use one of my favourite AI tools (NotebookLM) to discover relevant sources and build out mind maps of my favourite topics. These mind maps & favourite topics provide the groundwork for building out my favourite problems, identifying the common threads. I have a video that goes more in depth on the Feynman Technique, which I reference a few times throughout this video: https://youtu.be/YiM2ZUGxowQ I hope you enjoy! ✨ P.S.
