The more I think about how I ended up restarting my vault because of how chaotic it was, the more I realize how it was simply due to neglecting small housekeeping habits and mindsets. When I first started out, I had habits to help me gain clarity and maintain my vault, and for some reason, I just stopped…? And so, I'm going to bring those habits back on a daily basis so I can go back to more writing and note-making: ## Daily time block for writing - During the start of my Obsidian journey, I would always start my morning off by reading and taking notes side-by-side, helping me actively think about the content I consumed. - And so, I'm going to bring that habit back by spending an hour after my morning routine to partake in some deep work to explore my curiosities. - Each week I will have a set intention for my learning, and during these periods I'll work towards it, either through active [[Note-taking]], [[Note-making]], or [[Making connections between notes]]. - Not only will this help with maintaining my vault, but also with fixing my goldfish attention span 😅 ## Throughout the day, I'll have a consistent habit of logging anything significant that comes to mind - After each work period, I'll spend some time in my daily note to write down any thoughts or experiences - This is done in a header called `Log` where I just write a bullet point sentence of what I did, then sub-bullets on the detail ## At the end of the day during my night routine, I'll do some housekeeping for my daily notes - I have different prompts for journalling which lets me organize and clarify my thoughts at the end of the day - For more valuable insights, I'll upgrade them into conceptual notes or add them to existing notes During my weekly review, I'll then look at my weekly notes (both daily journals and the rest of the notes made throughout the day) and spend time connecting them with the rest of my existing vault.
