My 2023 planning setup + Etherpad + #TIL
Added 2023-01-04 00:11:22 +0000 UTCHappy 2023, folks!
π₯ My time management setup in Obsidian
This week's video is about all the plugins and apps I use to get stuff done and make sure my priorities are aligned. The goal-setting is mostly the same as last year, but I've added more structure to my daily notes through rapid logging.
Note: This video will be unlisted until Friday, when I have to mark it as private shortly before it is published for everyone to see. If you try to watch it and get a "Private video" error, you've probably caught it in that small window. Wait a few hours and try again-- it will be published shortly.
As always, all the templates I show in this video are available for Patreons. You can see a list of your perks at any time here.
Updates to Patreon vaults
The vault. In late December, I added a workflow for taking book notes, including a book template and a QuickAdd command. This month I also updated the periodic notes templates (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) and the Goal-setting and Reviews to be in line with what you saw in the video above. I also added a key for the custom checkboxes in the daily template.
The TTRPG vault. For those of you who are doing the #dungeon23 challenge, I added a Dungeon23 workflow that includes a template and QuickAdd command for creating dungeon rooms. You can also keep track of my progress on that here, as I'm of course doing that in Obsidian.
π₯ Etherpad
I recorded a quick unlisted video about the Obsidian Etherpad plugin, which is an interesting workaround for doing real-time collaboration in Obsidian. It's not perfect, and it requires some technical knowledge to set up, but it does work for quickly getting feedback on a note you have in Obsidian.
#TIL (Today I Learned)
Over on Mastodon, I'm challenging myself to share one thing I learned every day. Sometimes that's about Obsidian, but it's mostly just about whatever I happen to have been interested in that day. I also post a link to the note I created on my Obsidian Publish site to reflect that earned knowledge. If you're on Mastodon, I encourage you to share your #TIL as well-- it's kind of cool to see what other people are learning.

Here's to another year of learning and sharing with you all!

Thanks so much for this video @Nicole, it's triggered lots of thoughts for me. Re rapid logging - do you know an easy way for the system to automagically add a time stamp for me? I don't always want to have to go find a clock, but in the nature of my work sometimes it's useful to know that X happened [3 hours] before Y, or I only got told about Z in the middle of the afternoon. If I could tell obsidian [add timestamp] at the start of my rapid logging bullet point , that'd save me multiple clicks...
