Obsidian second brain vs PPV knowledge management system(Notion)… And i decided to Use both
notion for task project management and obsidian for second brain(vault).

Now i have no idea about obsidian.Also about zettelkasten method (second brain)
I like the idea in vault system. where your take idea notes by reading watching listing
and put into some areas like (deception, business, friend) overtime it’s become huge knowledge vault.
Now in obsidian can i do similar to this or even better method exist?
if yes what is that how to learn that.Also how to learn obsidian any video recommendation similar to this or that method or any youtubers to follow…
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated❤️

I’ve started implementing PPV in full, here’s the skeleton vault with templates, dashboards and folder structure: tot0/ObsidianPPV: PPV implementation for Obsidian (github.com)

Definitely not finished yet, will be working on it throughout first half of 2022.

This looks pretty great, @luup. I’m fairly new to PPV, but I spent several days building it out in Notion after watching all of August Bradley’s videos. Despite my lack of javascript experience (and CSS), I may be able to contribute some. At the very least, I’ll monitor this closely. MetaEdit (plugin) may be useful for this too.

The thing I most want to replicate is the ease to which I can input my daily tracking and perform my weekly/monthly/quarterly reviews. It is incredibly quick on Notion.

it looks very interesting from what i looked up. i wonder is it possible to build it in obsidian fully (no part in notion)

Hi @luup,
I just took a deeper look and this is really great! It looks like Years and Daily Tracking are next up?

Anyway, this is looking really good. I’m definitely going to lose myself in it this weekend. Maybe transition away from Notion altogether.
Thanks!

This is really impressive. It helps me see what would go into building this all in Obsidian.

I wonder what it would take to make something like this idiot-proof (referring to myself and my lack of any knowledge of javascript). Just having those customjs buttons is really cool, but I’m afraid of breaking it :unamused: Do you think it would be reasonable for someone like me to implement this in Obsidian, or would I just be asking for trouble?

The idea with the public repo is so anyone can clone it use it as their main vault. When they need a feature or have a fun dashboard idea they can build it out, and create a Pull Request on the repo adding it to the core system.
Add features does require some knowledge of javascript, copy pasting dataview code from other places should be possible for most. I would love for it become idiot proof, i.e. it’s all nice UI and no code interaction needed, hopefully with time and help :slight_smile:

I have a few questions. What format do you use for total sleep? is it 6 hours 5 minutes or 6.5 or something else? Also where do you get the sleep efficiency number?

Is Objective the same as Value goals? Also what do the numbers that come up as the title of the note? Do you change it to a title or just use the Alias for the title.
Thanks!

Total Sleep is format in Daily Notes as 6:35, h:mm. The Graphing helpers will parse this by splitting on : and then turning the minutes into a decimal fraction for easier graphing. So 6:30 becomes 6.5 on the graph.
The efficiency number (and all the sleep stats) come from Autosleep the iOS app I use to track my sleep (Apple Watch as the sensor).

Objective is the same as Value Goal and Outcome is the same as Goal Outcome.

The numbers that are used as the default new note name for buttons are the yyyymmddHHMMSS, so the exact second it was created, this was an easy zettlekasten-esk unique identifier to use. The date format used for the New Note Buttons can be customized using an argument, see the New Week/New Day buttons as an example.
For Things in the Pipelines vaults (except Action Items) I do change it (so for Projects, Outcomes, Objectives) and other vaults where it makes sense like People. I use alias[0] for Action Items since I thought there are so many Actions and some have names not great for a file system or the same names as others, so a unique identifier is easier. I would like better support for using the Notes H1 as the alias by default, though, so I don’t have to explicitly fill in alias and H1 with the same info.

Thank you! That makes sense.
