If you are new to Obsidian…

If you are just getting started with with Obsidian, then you are in the right spot. The first half of this course (Modules 1 and 2) walk you through everything you need to know.

You will discover what Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is and why it matters so much. We will also take you step-by-step through getting your Obsidian setup up and running.

After the first two modules, you will be confidently set up with this powerful app for organizing and connecting all your notes and ideas.

If you are already using Obsidian, then you will love the advanced lessons and workflows that will show you how to fine-tune this app to your exact needs and wants. We’ve also got a whole slew of downloadable templates you can copy and paste to improve your setup even more.

If you’ve heard of apps like Obsidian, Roam, Notion, and Evernote then you know how powerful and useful they can be.

(Especially now, in 2021, as we are seeing a huge rise in the wave of these powerful note taking apps and the increasing interest in building a second brain and personal knowledge management.)

In our experience and extensive research, we believe Obsidian is the best app out there for making, organizing, and connecting your notes and ideas.

Not to mention, the app makers and community behind Obsidian are rapidly developing new features and making the app better every day.

But, as you can imagine, with all that horsepower and functionality, there comes a learning curve.

Shortcut the Learning Curve

To Obsidian and Beyond is an on-demand video course with one goal in mind: to be the best possible training for Obsidian users who want to get in control over their sea of notes.

During this course, we have a very focused agenda. We will ensure that you are able to:

• Discover your ideal way of using Obsidian, so that it serves your needs.
• Get your Obsidian setup singing with the best plugins, themes, and structure.
• Dive in with some example workflows, templates, and structures so that you can begin to actually use Obsidian.

After this course you will understand what is possible with Obsidian, how it can serve you best for your specific needs, and be set up and ready to use it.

When you are stuck in a broken loop of always learning and always consuming, but never taking action… frankly that sucks. It’s frustrating. We know that you want to have more output, more impact, and to more consistently ship your ideas.

This course is also for anyone who feels stressed out by their note-taking system. We’ll show you how to (1) eliminate the pressure you feel toward having to find important information; (2) stop wasting time reading stuff and doing nothing with it; and (3) stop being buried by your own “Information FOMO”.

Course Modules and Lessons

Managing and Organizing All Your Knowledge

10 Videos

In the first module you’ll discover how to take all the information you encounter — the things you read, the conversations you have, the ideas that come to you, the insights that strike from time to time, and more — and then organize it in a way that helps you get the most out of it.

This goes beyond the typical “file” or “pile” approach to organization. And it shows you why being able to actually connect and link your ideas is far more powerful.

(Honestly, you already have a way that you manage all your knowledge, You just may not realize it… which means it could be better.)
