    I am a 77 year old engineer. My memory has become poor and I still do work that requires remembering (like home automation: circuits, programming, and system design). PKM with Obsidian is my method of augmenting my declining brain and it certainly helps. I enjoyed this video. Well done. Thank you.

    In your list of example vault names 'The Storage of O' made me laugh. I read the 'Story' book as a teenager in the 70s and it opened my mind to sexuality.
    This was an excellent talk about PKM, probably the best I have yet seen. Thank you so much for producing such a wonderful piece.
    I have so many notes on paper from 35 years in software development, now retired, but I think from them I will eventually have only 200 notes when distilled. So much is just out-of-date information and not knowledge. Luckily my last 5 years of digital notes were taken in QOwnNotes and stored as linked Markdown and are mostly about music production, my hobby.
    I started looking at logseq but the automatic creation of pages from tags always felt wrong to me. I gave it a fair review, even learning more about the programming language Clojure and Datalog queries. When I tried Obsidian it immediately felt right. I love your accent, easy on the ear and adds interest to your words. Take care, Danny, UK.

      Ha, one of the few names I came up with myself. 😄 Some are inspired by Reddit threads on Obsidian names, "Vaultiverse" is by Nadja Bester, see here: czcams.com/video/rbYQdeNND5g/video.html - thank you for the feedback and the insights into your background, very interesting!

      @@djlensing Thanks for the link. It's one of Nick's videos I hadn't watched. My lounge is 50% recording studio, a man cave, and my vault is the same. It always amuses me when I see a woman's vault with lots of styles and soft furnishings. 😄

    What an incredible video and so well-putted, love the sequence, the story telling, and of course the essence of PKM. Just what I needed. New subscriber right now! (Wanna confessed that I've never take the chance to get to know Obsidian, always thought Notion was "better" but I didn't even knew how different they are... downloading Obsidian right away) Big thanks from Mexico!

    I find it super hard to take notes continuously - especially during busy times. You always remind me how important it is to keep at it. Thanks for the motivation

      I do it with Smartphone Google Keep, and colour those notes. And later transfer some key notes to Obsidian Vault.

    Kudos to you for such an interesting and engaging look into this subject. Your production quality is also very polished so I was surprised that you have "only" 17 videos published on the channel. With this quality, I can only assume you will be on a fantastic growth trajectory. Glad to have stumbled on you via YT recommendations. Subscribed and will take a look at your previous videos and look out for more from you. Thanks - keep up the good work!

    • @djlensing

    Great video! Before I move on to the next one, I have a question: do you keep all of your information in a single vault, or do you use separate vaults for different areas of your life? For example, one for school, one for work, one for family/home, one for entertainment, and so on?

    • @djlensing
      @djlensing  Pƙed rokem +1

      I keep all my personal, private, and professional information in one single vault. For now.
