Hello! I'm David, a doctor from Australia and I wanna use this platform to talk about productivity, tech, and different perspectives on thinking about life. I also write stuff at my newsletter, Dabi's Notes: go.dabido.com.au/dabisNotes
The Only Notion Guide You Will Ever Need (Full Tutorial From Beginner to Advanced)
I've taken years of using Notion and condensed it into this one video, so that you can master Notion from scratch even if you've never used it before!
You'll learn how to make the ultimate productivity system from scratch, which is infinitely customisable and will serve you extremely well in University and in real-life professional settings. I used it in my medical studies, as a doctor, and now as a CZcamsr - and mastering Notion was one of the biggest benefits to my personal productivity ever, so now I'm passing on that knowledge to you!
== NOTE ==
I'll be aiming to publish a version of this template that you can buy soon to a website that I'll announce, but - I wanted to get this video out before the New Year, so need a little more time to actually make the template.

Learned a lot! Thank you
This was the best tutorial I came across about Obsidian. Thank you for this video!
1:28:55
W
16:49
Which theme is it?
4:00
I have a Mac + iPad and a Pixel phone. What's the most straight forward way I can ensure proper syncing between all three devices? I know I could get obsidian sync but I'm worried about the storage size and am looking for alternatives.
Thank you for this tutorial, very complete. The error on 1:22:07 was due to having different quotation marks (the ones surrounding "Queryable Database" are different from the supposed ones)
If only obsidian were completely free, just like Joplin.
What is the theme you are using for Obsidian?
I love you, thank you for this amazing video. Great work Dabi.
Very nice video series, I think it will help me improve my recent transition to Obsidian so thank you for posting! I also like the daily note approach since it is similar to the physical journaling I was doing before. With Obsidian I have found myself frequently creating new notes without a clear idea of what I was writing about because it felt like having many focused, inter-linked notes is the "encouraged" approach in other creator videos. That "extract selection to note" feature is excites me because I think it will streamline the daily-journal-to-useful-note pipeline that feels more natural.
This has led me to realize the different use cases of different note taking apps Obsidian is a direct competitor to Notion, the idea of nested documents OneNote however is more of an infinite canvas, a large series of notebooks open at the same time
This video is more than a year ago, obsidian has gotten many updates, is this still valid in todays time though?
100%, and I’m biased but I feel as if it’s even more important to understand these fundamentals as more features get added.
thi thi thi heee
muy util , vas desde lo mas basico a lo mas complejo ; aunque a veces te aceleras y es un poco dificil (sobre todo a los que tenmeoq ueusar los subtitulos ) / /desde Montevideo Uruguay SALUDOS ! gracias
Es realmente genial que este video esté llegando a una audiencia de habla hispana. Tendré que pensar en asegurarme de incluir buenos subtítulos de ahora en adelante. Perdón si hablo demasiado rápido, es gracioso porque a veces la gente me dice en los comentarios que hablo demasiado lento en inglés. 🤣🤣
THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭Dabi you don’t understand how much of a blessing your work into this video is and I’m so thankful you made it open-accessed! I was so freakishly overwhelmed by Obsidian hearing so many beautiful experiences but not knowing a single thing. YOUR VIDEO IS SUCHHH A HUGE RELIEF AND HELP I literally spent a week watching each part of your video and using obsidian at the same time DABI THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤ I finally feel I have control to obsidian having set up the note method that works for me! You took away so much of my stress and I’m just so grateful 😭😭😭😭 I’m subscribing to you and please know your work all the efforts you’re putting is NOT AT ALL GOING IN VAIN 🙌thank you so much again, hope you have a beautiful day!! ❤
Aww this comment is so nice :’) I’m so glad it could be so helpful! Enjoy your second brain!
If Leonard Shelby from Memento had Obsidian, the film would've been a minute long.
LMAO I can relate to this more than you’d believe 🤣
now I get what Neo felt when he said 'I know kung fu'
It’s kind of ironic that being a doctor means I literally give red and blue pills to people quite regularly then 😳
Muchas muchas muchas gracias por los subtítulos en español, me cuesta encontrar buenas explicaciones de Obsidian en mi idioma. Saludos desde Argentina!!!
¡De nada! Cuando hice los subtítulos en inglés, me tomó mucho tiempo 🤣 pero como resultado, la gramática debería ser realmente buena en inglés, lo que supongo significa que son buenos subtítulos en español. ¿Están bien? ¡Que tengas un gran tiempo en Argentina! (Traducido con ChatGPT, así que perdón si suena raro.)
Woow what an amazing content. I just mastered Obsidian in 2 hr
Let’s goooo
Thank you for posting this long detailed tutorial. Ill come back to this often. Very helpful 🤯
A pleasure and hope it helps!
Thank you for providing such a useful course for free ! keep up the good work!
You’re welcome!!
I have an important exam tomarrow :::::)))
Good luck or hope you did well!!!
27:52 Links vs Hashtags
Amazing!!! You get the best of both worlds, medical and computing, integration. Help a lot of person in studying. Many thanks!!!
Your Channel is criminally underrated, thank you for putting this valuable course out here for free. 🙌🏻
I appreciate that a lot Jess! Thank you for the compliment and the aesthetic of your channel is really cool :)
Do you think is it worth it to buy sync subscription yearly ?
I think it depends! I recently looked into the backup tools available again. There’s a plugin called Local Storage if you want to use Google drive or Dropbox or something like that. I’m in the Apple system so I now use a combo of iCloud but back it up using Hazel which automatically syncs the folder to Dropbox. Obsidian Sync is very reasonable especially if you’re not going to go crazy with images/videos. I feel the main downside is that the storage is quite limited, but that might be a problem for “later” if you’re just starting off.
@@dabi_ Thanks so much for answering it is really helpful I mean it and I really need to sync because my personal laptop is Mac and my work laptop is windows and I will just start to use obsidian for the research for my PhD so if I am able to use Google Drive for the sync for now maybe I can make it out. Then in the future I can buy sync subscription.
It's inter - network, not inter - net. But close enough.
Thank you so much for this video!!
i am dumb i need obsidian to mak me smart
their is nothing such thing as dumb or smart....actually people have created these kind of hierarchies to create a cult where everyone blindly follows what big names or so called smart are pushing. make your own way even if your opinion is alone in world still you can be right and the world and its people are not worth trustable...Belief in yourself!
me 2
Even though this is a 3 year old review, I think it still stands up as the best. So many reviewers of this product, even pretty tech savvy ones, for some reason, just don't seem to grasp the purpose and unique positioning of it. But you've nailed it.
Thanks so much for the kind compliment!! I find myself very intermittently using the device still haha.
22:30 at this point, how can i link it with a Text that has css format like <div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;">Text Text</div>? He is not showing that Text i want to show in a other Node.
what's your theme ?
Make a good thumbnail for this video and u will go viral (edit it rn) (thank me later 🎉🎉)
Congrats on hitting 1 mil views Dabi!! Thank you for being so generous with this tutorial 🥹🙏
Thank you! 😃
Watched the whole video and took notes. Ended up deleting my git desktop/repository because my windows command line wasn't recognizing the git command, this in turn deleted my vault. But hey, that's whatever. Great video, glad I have this info saved in my brain at least haha.
Hey you should get you the million subscribers. Thanks a million for putting this out here for free.
Thanks so much :)
Excelent video! Very useful for beginners in Obsidian. The first half explains the basics very clearly, the second half offers a "city tour" of the main useful resources and plugins. Nice idea to join many videos in one course! Thank you for the great job!
Glad it was helpful!
The Hashtags and Links have always been confusing because I've seen videos where they utilized it differently. They use Links as Tags and say it's more efficient this way. It's like a confusing rabbit hole.
In my mind, links have three main purposes: 1. It’s a separate page that you can navigate to 2. The backlinks to that page are easily seen 3. They’re easily referenced and don’t impede the natural flow of writing My personal problem with using a hashtag for every concept is, for example, what if you had “Fine Tuning (LLMs)” vs. “Fine Tuning (Guitars)”? Then they become really long and messy like #FineTuningLLM and it just looks weird. The other thing is that although hashtags can be nested, it quickly doesn’t make sense to start putting “#ai/llm/embeddings” when it would have been much simpler to make them separate pages. And also that you can organise those “trees of thought” in any way you prefer, rather than having it be purely alphabetical order. But! Whatever works for you. :)
Brilliant. Thanks
Between 46:50 and 49:40, you're using links to interconnect pages between. When I'm creating a link on a specific sentence and then try to press it, I create a new note to fill out the information which isn't what I want. If I transfer that link to the other page, then clicking on it, will also create a new note instead of jumping to the place where the link originally has been created. What am I missing out on? How can I make the link do nothing (i.e. not open a new note) on the original page and when I put the link in another page, how can I make it jump back to my literature note if I ever need an explanation?
Hmm I’m not really sure what’s going wrong for you specifically, but: 1. Create a link [[like this]] - the page has to exist before you can reference contents within the page. 2. Once [[like this]] is created, if that note has a heading like “# Cool Heading”, you should be able to link to that heading *without* being ported over to the new page by typing: [[like this#Cool Heading]] 3. And finally, if you want to display that note’s contents in your current page, it’s: ![[like this#Cool Heading]] with the exclamation mark. Hope it helps!
does obsidian have an iphone app? if not, is there a 3rd party work around?
Yup!
why am I getting an add literally every minute? lol
