Second Brain is Obsidian
Description
Book Introduction
Connect your thoughts and expand your knowledge!
600,000 views! Packed with the know-how of the author of "Cyan," a productive YouTuber.
Get 200% out of Obsidian in just one book, from basic to advanced.
Ideas floating around in my head come to mind for a moment and then quickly disperse.
What if you have a golden idea that just vanishes? If you're worried about that, I recommend Obsidian.
It's a well-known fact that Obsidian is a powerful tool for knowledge management.
However, if there is one thing that hinders the introduction of Obsidian, it is its 'complicated first impression like a spaceship panel'.
For those who are just starting out with Obsidian, the complex menus and features are a barrier that makes it difficult to get started.
So, we've prepared a complete guide to getting the most out of Obsidian.
This book will help you utilize Obsidian to its full potential, from installation for complete beginners to basic setup and advanced features for developers.
It also goes beyond the Obsidian Manual and explains Zettelkasten and PARA, theories for storing and organizing information.
Open the book on one side and the obsidian on the other, and follow along to experience 'what it means to record and organize ideas using obsidian.'
All practical courses are guided with clear capture screens and instructions.
We've also packed in additional helpful information, additional links for in-depth study, and the author's know-how.
We have prepared an example bolt file from the author of the blueprint to make it easier to practice.
By the time you finish reading this book, Obsidian will feel like your own tool, not someone else's.
I hope this book will help you build your second brain.

Publisher's Review
★ Want to upgrade your brain storage? Use Obsidian!
★ We've packed it all in, from an introduction to Obsidian features to theories on how to use them to increase productivity.
Couldn't we upgrade the storage and operational efficiency of our brains, just like we upgrade our computer's capacity? Wouldn't it be great if we could take out the insides of our heads and show them to you? Obsidian makes all of this possible.
The author introduces Obsidian as a tool to help organize and expand thoughts.
This book introduces Obsidian's features, provides the author's vivid explanations of how to use it, and provides tips for recording a wealth of information and organizing personal schedules and tasks.
★ Learn the essential Obsidian features as if you were manipulating a spaceship panel!
★ Create your own records with PARA and Zettelkasten!
Obsidian's first impression is that it looks like a spaceship panel.
A few buttons and windows may seem simple, but they hide a lot of functionality.
First, let's introduce the essential features that will make Obsidian more than just a notepad.
● In 'Part 01 Getting Started with Obsidian from the Basics', we will learn about the introduction and installation of Obsidian, basic components, interface, etc.
● In 'Part 02 Connecting and Expanding, Utilizing Obsidian's Core Features', you will learn Obsidian's core features that combine and connect information, such as graph views, links, and properties.
Now that you've learned the features, you need to know how to utilize them. Create your own note-taking system based on the author's expertise. We'll also teach you how to organize your notes with AI.
● In 'Part 03 Managing Knowledge Information with a Productivity Framework', the author introduces the notable productivity frameworks 'PARA' and 'Zettelkasten' and shows specific ways to utilize them using examples of notes the author himself uses.
The final chapter introduces advanced usage for readers with development knowledge.
● In 'Part 04 Level Up Obsidian Advanced Utilization', you can experience the fun of decorating Obsidian with CSS and HTML, and create a database of Obsidian with DataView.
★ We 1000% support our readers' learning!
★ Study together through the author-run open KakaoTalk chatroom + GitHub + YouTube + blog!

★ Introducing a learning structure that delivers 200% effectiveness!
This book is packed with hands-on exercises, one-minute tips, and code boxes.
We provide detailed guidance on concepts and practices for 82 topics, allowing you to experience and learn the functions by following along.
We will explain the areas where mistakes are easy to make and the knowledge that is good to know in detail in the 1-minute tips.
After each chapter, review what you've learned with the reminder notes.
Although it may be a bit grand to call it coding, we also introduce Markdown and database query syntax, which may be unfamiliar to readers who are new to coding.
The part explaining the code is marked separately in the code box, so be sure to type it directly into your notes and practice.
You'll get used to it sooner than you think.
★ When you want a reminder, explore the author's example vault!
We provide an example vault containing all the exercises covered in the book + example notes needed for the exercises.
You can download it from the author's GitHub (github.com/Sianmin/obsidian-goldenrabbit).
You can conveniently practice functions that require existing notes, such as search and data views, through this example bolt.
We encourage you to follow the book and build your own Obsidian Vault by setting up features and writing your own code.
However, we provide the same code presented in the book, such as Markdown, CSS, and DataView, in the example bolts, so don't be afraid of the practice being difficult and give it a try.
