How I Use Obsidian As A Creative — Part 3

Welcome to part three of 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.

Today we’re going to talk about the following two directories: Literature + Evergreen.

02-literature

The Literature directory contains notes for all the content I consume and learn from. This includes articles, books, videos, courses, and even social media posts.

Naming Format

I start each note with the content type:

• {a} — article
• {b} — book
• {v} — video

Then I simply include the name of the book, article, or video.

Labels

The labels I use depend on the type of content:

• #literature/article — article
• #literature/book — book
• #literature/video — video

Literature Note Templates

The template I use will vary depending on the type of content:
