How I Use Obsidian As A Creative — Part 2

A Comprehensive Walkthrough Of My Obsidian Setup

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.

Today we’re going to talk about the following two directories: inbox and life os.

00-inbox

The inbox directory is where all the random uncategorized, unfinished notes live.

This can include:

• drafts for articles I’m writing (like this one)
• ideas for future articles
• concepts I’d like to learn more about
• whatever random stuff crosses my path throughout the day

If you’re familiar with the GTD methodology you’ll recognize this as one of my content inboxes. I use it along with my Bullet Journal and Todoist to capture any stray thoughts or ideas that come into my head.

I try to review this directory once a week (during my weekly review) to clear it out and move notes to the right location.
