How I Use Obsidian As A Creative — Part 1

A Comprehensive Walkthrough Of My Obsidian Setup

Welcome to the first in a four-part series where I share with you how I use Obsidian as a creative.

It’s an extensive look at how my Obsidian vault is set up and how I use it to store my thoughts, learnings, and ideas.

Introduction

I last wrote about my Obsidian Setup way back in March. I was still finding my feet with Obsidian and trying lots of different things to see what worked well for me.

Since then, I’ve made a lot more changes to develop the system I use today.

This system allows me to track my goals, remember the content I consume, and manage my content creation process.

Technical Details

I’d like to share some technical details with you before we dive into the actual content of my system.

How I Have Setup My Obsidian Vault

My primary Obsidian vault sits inside of Google Drive. This allows me to view my notes from anywhere.

I don’t use the Obsidian Sync service, the Obsidian Publish service, or the Mobile app (I don’t know of a way to use it currently with Drive).
