We aren't all obsidian masters!
I see loads of amazing views on this subreddit which give me plenty of inspiration, but finding things easy to apply to myself? Not so much.
So for myself as much as anyone else who feels that setting up their vault can be daunting with so many options and the inner battle on thinking you have to have something perfect right from the get go, here is my graph from my fresh start at the end of February 2024. Not a huge amount to show for nearly a year, right?
I use the ACCESS setup because I want to and it clicked better than other options in my head. I use tags on my notes and the majority of my notes have been created in the last few months despite my best of intentions early last year.
But as I'm collecting my notes on books I'm reading, some quotes and concepts I've come across in those books and then noticing and associating those notes together, it all starts to come together.
So if you have set yourself a new years resolution to start using Obsidian more, just let it come to you. Build your own patterns and ways of working and don't worry too much that your doesn't look the way some others on here does. It takes time, and the more you use it the more you'll want to use it and the more use you'll end up getting from it. And thanks to all the posters in this group for the continued inspiration! HNY.
