I don’t really write about anything much ATM, I’m adding stuff into my vault tho.
For the past few months I was focusing on adding (creating a note for each) movie, game, video, series, music, book, website, app I care about or might wanna check out in the future. Kinda like a huge DB. My end goal is to have EVERYTHING as .md files in a single vault.
I have almost 3k notes so far.
Here’s a video where I “try” to show off my vault by aimlessly navigating it, lol. Feel free to skip through it. youtu.be/s9zo38it4OI
Note: Nothing is final, I may change (and probably) will change the template, I might add new types, consolidate existing ones and more.
I’m constantly adding new objects and adding data and tags to them, but as you’ll see I barely added any real “content” to anything, I pretty much just created files for each object so far. So yeah, a lot of stuff is incomplete. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I also made an algorithm which features random notes each day, so I never forget about stuff I care about forever (as it will be featured eventually). I can adjust how often I would like each note to be featured. Let me know if you would like to know more. The “featuring/reminder” system also has some other really neat features.
cooking recipes (read-only, used for reference, contains all recipes from Paprika, a recipe app)
Microsoft Writing Style Guide (read-only, used for reference, synced from the official Microsoft GitHub repo)
Tasks and everything synced from Readwise; I read and review books mainly for publishers so it’s super handy to keep book notes and when to publish what in the same space
dumps from projects with a lot of text that allows me to use the vault as a kind of database
One that serves as a “miscellaneous personal stuff” vault that helps me remember stuff, but that nobody but me would find useful unless you were stalking me or were trying to buy a gift for me. It has a page dedicated to stuff I remembered and spent an hour+ trying to find again, so that I can find it more easily in the future; a page for rating stuff I bought at the grocery store so I remember which ones I liked and which I didn’t; a page with the locations of this or that important document like my taxes; a page with the knitting patterns I’m working on and where I last left off; a page with the exact hex codes for my favorite color… stuff like that.
One for my creative projects: Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, notes for two games I want to make but may or may not actually bother to get off the ground…
this is just one of many things but i like to write down game notes while i’m playing, like what i intend to do next and things i need to remember for future reference. very handy if you’re like me and juggle between games in waves, so you can always see where you left off mentally
@FIST_FILLET@SamXavia I just started doing this with a new Skyrim playthrough and it's more fun than I expected. I make a new note each time I play and just keep a bulleted journal of quests/important events/decisions made
I wouldn’t say I have any “main thing”, it’s split fairly evenly between archiving information (recipes, articles, etc.) to have everything in one place, writing down random things to avoid forgetting them, and making kanban boards for my hobby programming projects.
Notes at work. Meetings, projects, one on one conversations. I also have a template for each person I’ve met that makes it easy to see where they’re located, what company and technologies they’re related to, and links to past meetings I’ve had with them. I also use it for task management.
I have a vault for general journaling, for my pathfinder 2e campaign notes, my characters (TDE, Dnd5e, Starfinder) campaign notes, and my writing project.
@SamXavia@DmMacniel I'm happy with one vault for most things, mixing personal with business. The only times I create new vaults is for experimenting with different setups (that I don't want to break my regular workflow), and in preparation for sharing with others.
@ellane That's pretty much what I do, even know I have many different areas that I enjoy writing about from business to TV Shows it's nice to see it all in one place and makes me not have to go to other vaults that I will most likely forget about.
Yup, different vaults since the topics don’t really intersect with each other, or rather shouldn’t. I would like if Obsidian don’t open with the latest vault open, but instead its splash screen so that I can select which Vault I want to open/work on.
