"Obsidian for Learning Part II: Process"
"Obsidian for Learning Part II: Process" - No Boilerplate
No Boilerplate first got me into obsidian so to see them endorse such strange patterns without qualification is frustrating. I suspect that Tris is a victim of drinking-ones-own-kool-aid.
Clearly we have different priorities for our vaults, but I tend to think mine are more consistent.
I couldn't trade git version control for the convenience of Obsidian Sync on mobile. The timeline of my understanding is just as important as the result.
Tris has repeated somewhere
a piece of advice for Obsidian personal-knowledge-management
that I think ought to be nonnegotiable.
You get one vault. Figure it out.
PKM, as I understand it, is in service of synthesis, that if you have access to your knowledge without the effort and problems of recall, your processing power can be spent making connections.
The problem with titled notes is that titles are a barrier to writing that serve no purpose.

These are not summaries, this is quippy bullshit. If it seems like this would be a good way to organize ideas you are vastly underestimating the number of ideas you have. At scale you won't be able to distinguish between "Concise explanations accelerate progress" and "Accelerating progress explanations", and if titles-as-filenames don't aid organization you might as well use timestamps, which do.
Still I think the best way to start Obsidian is to install it with no expectations or introduction then write everything in unique notes with the core plugin.
