I found out that it is possible to play a youtube video in a note. Perfect.
I found the plugin Timestamp notes, that creates timestamps with a shortcut, perfect…
…but: only if the video is playing in the sidebar not in the notes.
So, how can I play the YT-Video in a note and create easily a timestamp with a notice or screenshot?
If you’re using Obsidian 1.7 then the plugin Media Extended would be worth taking a look at.
If you’re using Obsidian 1.8 then you could use the Web Viewer (Core Plugin) but timestamps wouldn’t work.
Personally I use the Media Extended option and it works well for me. (need to be signed in with a Youtube account though otherwise it can buffer)
I also have a Templater Snippet which I use with the Command Palatte to Slash command load my Play/Pause/TimeStamp/Snapshot/Scrub Meta Bind Buttons on any Note, then I can control the Media Extended Clip in a Pinned note. Video above might give you a better idea of how it works.
The Myth of Overthinking: you’re not born an overthinker. You Learn It!
4 Common Unhelpful Solutions:
Constantly looking for threats
Seeking answers and reassurance
Excessing Planning
Worrying about Worrying
2 therapeutic approaches to dealing with overthinking are:
CBT = Changing thoughts and replacing them with positive ones
Metacognitive Therapy = Letting go of Negative Thoughts, more likely to recover with this method.
The Problem with CBT is it gets us to focus more on the Negative Thoughts, so here are some alternative strategies:
Mentions of the Book [[Live More Think Less - Dr Pia Callesen]]
Metacognitive Therapy:
Get to know your trigger thoughts and let them be
03:30 Each day our brain produces thousands of thoughts, emotions and memories
Most of the time our thoughts come and go but every now and then there are these thoughts that stay in your mind longer than you would like. These are known as our trigger thoughts. If we pay attention to these the spark an explosion
Think about thoughts as multiple trains waiting at the station. The departures board is the thoughts. It’s up to you whether or not you board the train.
The problem isn’t the trains exist. The problem is us choosing to jump on train.
Recognise what you can and can’t control
06:51 - this process is automatic because we train our brains over time, which means we believe that we can’t change this thought pattern
You can control whether you board the train but you can’t control the thought itself
We can control if you accept it as fact and act on it
Or whether we divert our thoughts to other thoughts or activities
Is this thought based on facts, is this how I want to think or feel, where did this thought lead me last time? 10:20
Postpone and Reduce your worries
Save your thoughts for later, set a time window for worrying. You’ll do nothing but worry during this time and write down all the things your worrying about or thinking. Non judgementally to get them out of your head.
Tell your worry thought that you’ll get your chance later
This challenges your worry postponement beliefs and shows you thoughts disappear
The point is to reduce that amount of time worrying
I used in the past Logseq, but I found a lot of easy things in Obsidian, that’s why I switchen with all of my md to Obsidian.
I use Obsidian 1.7.7, no update for 1.8 available.
In Logseq it is quiet simple. YT-Video is playing in the note and pressing ctrl+shift+Y gives me the timestamp below the Video. I tried a lot of Plugins in Obsidian, but Nothing worked like the way in Logseq. And as far as I remember correctly I didn’t install a plugin to do that.
