Obsidian 101

Obsidian 101 is a short video course designed to help you lay a solid foundation for your PKM system and accelerate the Obsidian learning curve.

This 2-hour self-paced video course will help you grok the key features of Obsidian quickly so you can start working with Obsidian effectively and get more ideas, insights, and value from your PKM system. The course covers:

  • Recommended Editor and Files & Links settings
  • The best way to set up and sync your vault
  • A breakdown of the Obsidian user interface
  • Brief explanations of every single Core Plugin in Obsidian

The cost of the course is $97, but you can apply the whole purchase price toward a future Obsidian University cohort. In fact, the whole course is a condensed version of 3 separate sessions from the first cohort to help you build a foundational knowledge of Obsidian before diving deeper into more advanced creativity and productivity workflows as you develop your own values-based PKM stack.
