A "Year in Media" page, generated from my notes: - what I watched, played and finished this year - hours per medium - ratings by director and by decade - what's up next Plain Markdown, published on my site. Built from 10,260 notes.

I put the Obsidian search commands and operators worth remembering on one free cheat sheet: quick switcher, Search, Bases, CLI, ripgrep, qmd. Plus the search escalation ladder: which tool to try first, and what to try next 👇

My Obsidian search series is free, and the overview is up today. Then one new part every weekday for 12 weekdays, starting tomorrow. Start with the overview. It has the search escalation ladder, the findability stack, and a table that maps what you remember to the tool to use.

The weakness of Obsidian's native Kanban that bothers me the most: it doesn't know which values are valid. Write "In progres" once, anywhere, and the board quietly adds a new column. Your card disappears from the column where you expected it.

I wrote a book on finding notes in Obsidian 🚀 The Obsidian Search Handbook: 254 pages, PDF + EPUB. The science of re-finding, the tools (quick switcher to AI search), the habits, and "Try this" exercises in every chapter. €19 with code LAUNCH until October 29. €29 after.

Pick any task on today's list and trace it upward. Which project or activity does it serve? Which goal does that serve? If you can't answer, either a link is missing, or the task doesn't deserve your time.

I built the Kanban Action Planner because I hit the limits of every Kanban solution I tried. Goals, projects, tasks, books, videos... each note type has its own lifecycle and its own "done". The native boards in Obsidian 1.14 are great. They don't cover that (yet).
