I have been using Obsidian for quite a while now, and I am reaching out for the first time with a question that has troubled me for many months. My current goal is to engage in conversations with people on various topics of interest, ranging from current events to historical facts and science, depending on the situation. Being in marketing, I regularly meet people, each with their unique interests.
What I aim to do is acquire a basic knowledge of several fields, particularly through anecdotes. Currently, my approach involves capturing numerous stories, definitions, news, quotations, and historical facts that capture my interest. However, my notes mainly consist of plain copy-pasting, though I occasionally rephrase in my own words.
My challenge lies in organizing this wealth of knowledge into coherent topics and concepts. I struggle to determine the appropriate concept for a given topic. I am seeking guidance on how to efficiently break down and organize the daily influx of information. In short, my objective is to have meaningful conversations with people by sharing stories, facts, arguments, anecdotes, etc.
Can anyone provide assistance on how to go about organizing and categorizing the knowledge I consume daily?
