Learn how to use Obsidian

This thread reminds me of:

After 2 years of using the software, I recently started daily notes (was not my top priority) and a habit trackers.
All this time sometimes I had a feeling I should learn how to make more of Obsidian.

The one realization I have made is that I don’t have the time and design skills to build an all-round vault with bells and whistles. So I tried demo vaults where the templates and (Dataview) queries are created and only a little effort was needed to search and replace folder and property names, which latter you’ll need to set up.

Obsidian is really worth something if you take the time to set up a structure, which over time you can change, of course.

So I’d say download some demo vaults, keep a zip of the originals and write into them to see what they are capable of. Some will have Local Graphs with tags, some with tasks and project managment, etc.

More demo vaults with live filtering of tables (based on pre-set properties):

Read more into the Share&Showcase section, and generally spend time on the forum to keep yourself up to date but don’t let yourself be easily persuaded to change something that works for you.
