This video is all about how I use the knowledge hub and note-taking software Obsidian as a PhD student working on my dissertation. It covers some basics for setting up your Obsidian, ways to set up and organize your notes, and making connections between notes. I also show you some of my workflow, and touch on using Obsidian for making connections between primary and secondary research. Thanks for watching, and let me know if you have any questions, or any suggestions for how you take and organize your notes! :) Time Stamps 00:00 Intro 02:22 Starting out with Obsidian 03:18 Adding & Organizing Folders 04:55 Creating Notes 05:44 Structuring Notes & Using Callouts 08:13 Highlighting Information & Organizing by Theme 08:54 Making Connections Between Notes 11:42 Dissertation Brainstorming & Workflow 15:33 Other Ways of Using Obsidian for Note-Taking 17:15 Outro Note taking for students with ADHD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46YRoSwGaho&t=969s Helpful videos from @morganeua : Setting up your Obsidian Zettelkasten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9SLlxaEEXY Thinking with your Zettelkasten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtChrK4a-mc Note Taking Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5PzoXlqDUpft99c7pQvxX_S6GTC2W2a Other helpful videos: Obsidian set-up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3e7GWsqoU0 Zettelkasten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZclacnamOs Obsidian Callouts: https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Callouts https://obsidian.rocks/using-callouts-in-obsidian/ #obsidian #notetaking #graduatestudent
