Obsidian became my weapon of choice against the chaos in my life.
In this blog I want to share my experience using Obsidian for every aspect of my life in the past 3 years.

What is Obsidian?

Obsidian is a note app which can be configured and used in a million different ways, from simplistic note-taking to advanced Information-Management-Systems.

With obsidian it is possible to link related notes together and form some sort of digital-neural-network consisting of your own ideas, thoughts, documents and more.

Who is Obsidian for?

Obsidian is for everybody who writes notes about "stuff" and wants to keep and easily find those notes again in the future (future-proof).

It’s great for students/university/education, (project-) managers, assistants, side-husslers, hobbies, (journal-)writers etc. – anything that has to do with organisation or writing. If you are already using tools like Evernote, Apple-notes, onenote or similar, you will LOVE Obsidian.

why use Obsidian?

There are a lot of reasons of why I use Obsidian instead of any other software.
Data-sovereignty (offline data, no vendor lock-in, human readable markdown files which can be imported into every other tool), as well as the freedom to build any workflow you come up with, are only a few of the reasons.

What I use Obsidian for

I use Obsidian to track, document and plan everything I am interested in and want to focus on. Everything, from my work to my personal interests, is neatly organised in one vault.

I manage my professional work

• task management
• projectmanagement
• nearly all business documentation of our startup-company
• Marketing
  • whitepaper planning
  • company Info
  • Blogposts

But I also use it to organize my private life:

• Journal Notes
• interests & hobbies
  • books I read
  • things I learn
  • photography and art
  • psychology and QM
• freelance projects & side hustle,
• burocracy
