At least, that's what I also initially thought when first seeing other people's Obsidian graphs for the first time. This was until I realized the power of digital tools and systems for turning this chaos into **meaning** and **clarity**. - [ ] maybe talk about digital galaxy here? %% Turn into b-roll of my dashboards in Obsidian: Vision board, my inputs, etc %% And so, for the past three years I've spent **thousands of hours** learning, using, and customizing Obsidian to create a personalized all-in-one system. Thanks to my learnings from books, thought leaders, and other resources, I've synthesized their fundamental principles to create a true second brain that lets me **freely follow my passions, explore my curiosities, and cultivate my ideal life.** - [ ] This is to help me in the following three key pillars of my life: - **Personal knowledge management** to - satisfy my curiosities by compounding my knowledge from books and resources - nurture ideas that emerge from the synthesis of my learnings and my personal experiences by writing about them - and overcome information overwhelm by efficiently retrieving information for my goals and responsibilities - %% brain, greenhouse, my inputs %% - **Life design** for intentionally creating and working towards a fulfilling life - Seeing how my daily tasks are connected with my higher-order goals and values through my [[My Vision Board]] - Encouraging consistent review, [[Reflection]] and planning through [daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly reviews](https://youtu.be/sj8oJeYHTDQ?si=zOfmv_nWY3uxNuYy&t=146) to mindfully work towards my ideal life - %% vision board %% - **Productivity** to plan and accomplish what matters most across different areas of my life - Clarifying my goals through meaningful objectives through [goal notes](https://youtu.be/sj8oJeYHTDQ?si=kLaD5d0MH3tAQfWd&t=166), which are then made actionable through project notes - Establishing trackers to visualize your progress on relevant [habits and key metrics](https://youtu.be/sj8oJeYHTDQ?si=1N1QIM5VZc6Delqt&t=227) - %% Goal notes, project notes, habit notes %% This is what I call my digital galaxy. So, in this video, I'll be exploring the main parts of my digital galaxy: - Your [[Digital Interstellar Medium]], the area nurturing our ideas that helps us understand the world and ourselves - A system to design and work towards your ideal life through [[Digital life solar systems]], representing our visions, goals, projects, and tasks - Our spaceship to navigate this galaxy, inspired by [[Obsidian Flight School]], which is none other than [[Obsidian]]. If you're interested in this system or certain parts, you can start your own exploration. Feel free to go to my published notes to learn more about the parts and workflows I have, and see how I actually use this on a daily basis. introduce obsidian systems thinking first B-roll idea: - My character in a space environment for interstellar medium - Maybe even make a constellation - Move a star, make it shine - Myself looking down on a solar system, maybe even palms out to grasp it? - I don't know what this last one would be ### Content So far I plan on having a structure like: - The over-arching philosophy behind it - Visiting each crucial area and note type in the vault - Can see things for yourself since it's published online, notes.johnmavrick.com - This is a brief overview of my vault - I'll be sharing what I use my obsidian for, and will explain any special plugins as I go - This is not set in stone, can update as I experiment with new workflows and changes - To keep up to date, you can subscribe and follow my newsletter What my main uses of it is for - knowledge management and personal growth - Knowledge management - Second brain process - Going to keep it simple by following the CODE process - Capturing information - Readwise Reader - Gives me a space to journal memories and reflect - Meetings - Daily notes - Organizing information - PARA method but on steroids - Projects is more like productivity as I also have other notes like goals - Areas is still similar - Resources also has maps of content - Also have other misc things though - Prominent people, influencers I follow - People in my life - Archived I don't use much, I would only consider it for archiving more actionable things like projects or areas since I feel you can still reuse information later on - Organizing is putting where it should be for actionability? - Distilling information - Means to turn it into conceptual notes - Expressing information - Brainstorming note - Creative outputs - Book applications - Projects - Alignment Philosophy - Helps me work towards my ideal life by staying aligned with my values for purposeful action - Vision board is the main note for it - I update my vision board during my periodic reviews - periodic reviews (yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily) - For these I have a 3-step process of review, reflect, and plan for the next - Productivity - Goals - Projects - Tasks - Habits - Extras ### Conclusion What are some relevant references or links? - If you want to see how I manage knowledge, you can see how I built a second brain in Obsidian - If you want to take a deeper dive into my Alignment philosophy, you can check out my current notes on the topic - I'll also have a waitlist for people interested in a more fleshed out email course
