That’s good to know!! Thanks so much for sharing. I should have waited a bit longer before upgrading. But it’s good to support the Obsidian team anyway :)
Thanks so much David! Yes I was on the same boat. When I was trying to get started on Zettelkasten it was very hard to find a video that gave a detailed explanation. Thanks for stopping by and took your time to watch this 🙏🏻
I was searching for a video that could explain Zettelkasten and show how to use it in Obsidian. I watched many videos, but this was the first one that combined both topics perfectly. Thank you so much!
Ty... there are tons of videos on zettelkasten talking about the process in very vague and unclear ways. Yours is the first video (I kid you not) that after watching I was like yeah I see now how I can do this IN PRACTICE. Khawp khun. (Thanks ... Google translate)
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 Really appreciate your kind comment. When i first started using Zettelkasten i was very confused as well. I’m super happy that this video encourages you to try out this method 😍
Thank you Joe! Please feel free to try it out and adapt to your own needs. I find that the Zettelkasten workflow really comes down to personal preferences. Cheers!
I’m using bear 2 since obsidian on iPad didn’t do it for me. And now it has all the basic features one needs to get started with Zettelkästen method, I’ve seen no less than 7 videos just to come back to this one since your explanation and demonstration is amazing. Thank you. Also for anyone reading this: check out bear2 if you find obsidian overwhelming, once you get hang of it you can move all your notes in a single click to obsidian without losing even a bit of continuity.
OMG Joseph!! I just know about “Bear2” from your comment, and it is “perfect” for Zettelkasten! I need to make a video about it. I have been waiting for this update Forever 😂
Wow!!! I spent time looking for how I could start using Obsidian and this video is, as mentioned in the title, the simplest way. Thanks very much krab.👍👍
I have watched almost all of your video guides for Obsidian & zettelkasten. Writing this comment to share my gratitude for enormous efforts that you put through to make those simple and yet comprehensive videos. You can be 100% sure that you helped some random guy from Kazakhstan to get his shit together and try to be more organized. Good luck and keep rocking!
Thank you Darin. I read every comment and agree that you've made the whole concept of Zettelkasten something that I can now appreciate, where as before, the convoluted explanations made me understand the reason friends and former students retreat from math. I for one was really interested in your music selections! Go figure? 🤔 Question, your example was pretty concise yet when you opened the graph, you had a lot there. I'm really interested to learn how you catalog and search subfolders in a future video. Thanks
Hi David! Thank you for much for your comment. Yes, in very near-future videos I will cover a lot about how I organize my notes. If you are interested in this topic you may enjoy the "MOC" concept (Map Of Content) from Linking Your Thinking channel. Please see the link below :) Cheers! ruclips.net/video/WUq8Pun28FI/видео.html
Great video! I'm trying to develop my own Zettelkasten, and I understand the general concept. Learning the app is easier, but using the app **in order to** develop a Zettelkasten is the harder part for me. Your video really helped me to put the whole thing together! Thanks!

Tried to reach out on Twitter, but you you're not there. There was a great creative scene in BKK during my time. Aree, art district, university and surrounding areas. All over really.
Sawasdee krubb! Glad I found your channel and this video. The content is stellar! I’ve been learning about PKM since mid-2020 and this has been one of the best videos explaining the idea, process and tools I’ve seen. No matter how I try to organize, my Notion workspace always becomes a mess (I score very low on conscientiousness), so I gave up on organizing entirely. My notes have since been completely unorganized, and I rely solely on backlinks and the search system to help me find stuff. After watching this video, I found the categorization of notes (into daily notes, hub, fleeting, literature, etc.) very inspiring. My vault is still a mess but I’m starting to have some ideas on making it a more managable mess. One practice that really helped me get started with PKM is whenever I post written content online (e.g. this RUclips comment) I immediately copy it to my vault. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more of your content krubb!
Hello krub! I’m so glad you find the video helpful nakrub 😍 Yes.. organization is one of the most challenging things about PKM. I’m still working on this myself as well. If you have more tips please feel free to share nakrub :)

Hi Darin. After using, studying and developing my own zettelkasten method, about 7 months, i noticed that literature notes are just overburden (at least for me) . İ just add bib reference (book , site vs) under note if there is (i use zotero / zotcite for that and my editor is vim). Every note is floating note with keywords. i even don't classify them as permenant. When i use notes for a project (a general project hub page consisting individual projects ) i tidy and link them, so they became permenant notes but just in my head. No indication in note if it is floating, literature or permenant. i strongly think about that kind of study :) ... Note: Projects are secial hubs, other than then i have also normal hubs connecting floating notes. I learned and understand a lot from your videos. Thank you again. Have a nice day.
Really interesting approach Cagatay! Thanks so much for sharing your workflow with us all. I really like how your workflow is very light-weight and flexible. I can see this approach be very beneficial for many use cases. I will try looking into VIM as well. Thanks so much for your support 🥰

Ah... In the video I used Miro. But there many good ones. I actually used another one called "Whimsical" more often. Please see the links below. Thanks for your question! miro.com/ whimsical.com/
Thank you so much for your incredible videos. A couple of questions: 1) What do you do with fleeting "notes" or ideas of things you want to research but don't have time to do that day? 2) Where else online can I follow you?
Hey James! Thanks so much for your feedback and also your excellent questions! 1. There are 3 use cases that can happen to my fleeting notes 1.1 Use as a reference: For example, I might be thinking about a concept or something I’m working on in my Zettelkasten, so I mention that note (Let’s say note “ABC”) in my fleeting note. So next time I work on the note ABC I’ll see this fleeting note as a backlink, and I can see what else I was thinking about on that day. 1.2 turn information I captured into either a permanent note or a literature notes. This has to be done as soon as I have time. 1.3 Create a new “hub note” and remind myself to learn more about this (you can watch my video about Hub Note if you haven’t seen it). For example, on one of the fleeting notes I was thinking about how can I give direct feedback to my team without hurting their feelings. And since I would have to research and think further about this, I create a new Hub note called “How to give effective feedback” and add a task to my todo app to read more about this and discuss with my team. 2. I just started an IG a account recently 🥳 It doesn’t have anything yet but will have more content soon ☺️ Id: dsuthapong
Thanks for the comment! Noted about Hub Note 😂! Yes this seems to be the topic that people want to know most about, so i’ll make the next video about this.
Hey Darin, great video! I have a question: In your HUB area, do you just keep links to the Permanent Notes, or do you actually make the notes in there?
Hi Victor! Actually, it can be linked to from any notes (Permanent & Literature) but there are actual notes in there as well. In the beginning, the actual notes in the HUB would be empty but once there are lots of notes linked to it I can write the summary of that concept in the HUB notes. My next video will talk about HUB notes, so stay tuned for more info about this :)
@@dsuthapong Hi sorry to tag on late but once these hub topics become notes of their own where do you store them? 0.? 1.? I feel like I got stuck there, on that.
Thank you! To add the icons, you just need to insert an emoji. Below are the shortcuts based on what platform you are on: Windows: Windows logo key + . (period) Mac: Control+Command+Space Bar
Greetings Mahnu! I used I ipad for Obsidian too, and it seems to work for me 🤔 Let me try to give you some hints here to help you What we're doing is called block referencing. You need to add "^" sign after the name of the note to block reference. For example, you want to block reference the note named "Bitcion Mining" . You'd type [[Bitcion^]] then Obsidian should show you which block to reference. Please try this let me know if this works.

How is Connect different from Crystalize? If I am making connections between all my recorded knowledge, it would seem to me that I am crystallizing something out of that knowledge. Could someone explain the difference between the two?
Thank you for the question Drew! Actually I have a more updated version of the diagram where Connect and Crystalize are not a linear line, but a cycle. I should make an updated version of this video 😅 Back to your question: Connect is about “making a connection to another note” Crystalize is about “transforming content into a more and more concrete idea” Example: - Yesterday I “Captured” my frustration about being a startup CEO in a fleeting note as a block of text (unrefined) - I “Connect” this block of texts to a Hub Note named [[How to be an effective CEO]] - I then “Crystallize” this block of text into a permanent note named [[A CEO needs to be willing to make an unpopular decision]]. In this note, I Crystallized my understanding of being a good CEO. From this permanent note, I Connect to another permanent note named [[CEO is a lonely job]] I hope this helps a bit 😅
Great content 🙂👍 keep it going. There are a few pointers, I think the music is a bit too loud. Also towards the end the music was too rhythmic and glitchy so it was very distracting (because remember, speech has a rhythm too), and finally the audio of your voice has just a little bit too much reverb, it may be from your surroundings and maybe from an effect you use. Best of luck 🙂
Thank you so much Mohamed! Really appreciate your feedback. Yeah so many people commented on the music that I need to create another 2 versions of this video with lower and no-music 🤣 Other versions of this video: Softer Music: ruclips.net/video/0rLAZGL9GAo/видео.html No Music: ruclips.net/video/joi-uiO_mdc/видео.html Regarding reverb, I will need to try finding a way to treat my space better since this place is super echo-y . Thanks again for the feedback :)
@@dsuthapong you are very welcome Darin 😊, wow you actually made videos with different music huh! Good job, the videos are valuable enough to repost indeed 🙏 You can start simple with heavy curtains, and wall or floor carpets (strategically placed of course), that will make enough difference, since the problem isn't severe, the reverb is just a little high, just a little Best of luck 🌼
Great video! Just one question: You recommend to create a hub early on, but isn't that opposed to the philosophy to have the notes and connections first and see into what the cluster emerge? Instead of creating these structure top down in the beginning?
Thanks for the question Patrick! You are right! The network-note-taking communities normally encourage the philosophy of the bottom-up approach. However, I also do like the philosophy of “Favorite Problems” from Richard Feynman as well. And i do think that creating hub notes early on are like listing out things you want to capture, providing the lens you can use to filter things to want to consume and write about. I don’t think having hub notes early on is necessary ;however, it could be very helpful for some people ☺️
@@dsuthapong Thanks for replying, I really like how you simplify the process. hopefully you post more videos with "real life" application of the method. Subscribing now!
Hi! You can simply adding emoji using keyboard shortcut :) Windows: windows key + period Please see this video for details ruclips.net/video/tEk3KwJf4qU/видео.html Hope this helps!
There is actually no right and wrong way here, but in this case i used was just thinking “what are other notes that also talk about this?” But now sometimes i also explicitly search for the keywords in my vault to find the connection :)
Thank you for the video, very informative. I switched from from Zettlr and now I have lots of my files that are named using Zattelkasten id, is there a way to show title as file name?
Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏻 Hmm i found this plugin which might be helpful. You can try this :) forum.obsidian.md/t/plugin-for-keeping-the-filename-and-first-heading-of-a-file-in-sync/12042
Hey yonathan! Yes I do! I'm about to talk about it in the near-future video. I tried it and really liked it, but I found that it's a bit buggy in some cases (especially when you use it with Obsidian). But I think logseq is one of the best apps for Zettelkasten :)

Thanks, but I got confused during the actual demo. After watching about 20 videos on ZettelKasten using digital tools, I'm beginning to think that analog is probably the best way to do it. Every program has a different and quirky way of implementing zettelkasten, learning curve is hap hazard and seems I'd be spending so much time fiddling around with the interface and commands instead of actually taking notes and being productive.
Hi Abaseen! Yes, actually a physical zettelkasten is not bad at all. There are so many benefits. Handwriting takes more effort and helps you remember things better. Also you can layout paper on a desk and see connection that way. In fact, Ryan Holidays also use paper-base. Please use what works best for you🥰
Ha! This one is classic 😂 I love these headphones but it’s just a bit challenging to wear these in Bangkok where the weather is super 🔥☀️ and my ears can get too warm sometimes. BTW, Thanks so much for stopping by 😀
Hi Andreo! It really depends. On a busy weekday when i don’t read or consume anything, i normally make 0-3 permanent notes out of my learning from daily experience. But on a day that i have time to reflect or read a lot, i would take around 5-10 permanent notes. It normally takes me about 1-3 minutes to make a note, but i regularly update the notes as i have more insights. Hope this helps 🥰
Great video. I think you should not give tutorial about Obsidian considering that you have existing videos about the subject. Second point: The music is in my opinion too disturbing.

Ah... In the video I used Miro. But there many good ones. I actually used another one called "Whimsical" more often. Please see the links below. Thanks for your question!

Thank you so much for your incredible videos. A couple of questions:
1) What do you do with fleeting "notes" or ideas of things you want to research but don't have time to do that day?
2) Where else online can I follow you?
Hey James! Thanks so much for your feedback and also your excellent questions!
1. There are 3 use cases that can happen to my fleeting notes
1.1 Use as a reference: For example, I might be thinking about a concept or something I’m working on in my Zettelkasten, so I mention that note (Let’s say note “ABC”) in my fleeting note. So next time I work on the note ABC I’ll see this fleeting note as a backlink, and I can see what else I was thinking about on that day.
1.2 turn information I captured into either a permanent note or a literature notes. This has to be done as soon as I have time.
1.3 Create a new “hub note” and remind myself to learn more about this (you can watch my video about Hub Note if you haven’t seen it).
For example, on one of the fleeting notes I was thinking about how can I give direct feedback to my team without hurting their feelings. And since I would have to research and think further about this, I create a new Hub note called “How to give effective feedback” and add a task to my todo app to read more about this and discuss with my team.
2. I just started an IG a account recently 🥳 It doesn’t have anything yet but will have more content soon ☺️

@@dsuthapong thank you! You have a new follower!
I would really appreciate if you tell us more about your darin’s hub note ❤ ( i already watch your hub notes video ) 😊
Thanks for the comment! Noted about Hub Note 😂! Yes this seems to be the topic that people want to know most about, so i’ll make the next video about this.
Thank you so much!!! I cant wait 😀
I'm liking your videos but when is youtube going to provide a second volume control for music level.
Thank you! Please find the no-music version over here :)

Hey Darin, great video!
I have a question:
In your HUB area, do you just keep links to the Permanent Notes, or do you actually make the notes in there?
Hi Victor!
Actually, it can be linked to from any notes (Permanent & Literature) but there are actual notes in there as well. In the beginning, the actual notes in the HUB would be empty but once there are lots of notes linked to it I can write the summary of that concept in the HUB notes.
My next video will talk about HUB notes, so stay tuned for more info about this :)
@@dsuthapong I look forward to watching that video. Thanks for your great content!
@@dsuthapong Hi sorry to tag on late but once these hub topics become notes of their own where do you store them? 0.? 1.? I feel like I got stuck there, on that.
Great video - thanks a lot, felt like to able to get started with Obsidian, by the way, how to add those icon in folders? Thanks a lot
Thank you!
To add the icons, you just need to insert an emoji. Below are the shortcuts based on what platform you are on:
Windows: Windows logo key + . (period)
Mac: Control+Command+Space Bar
Hello ! Thanks for your video. I have a ipad and when i use shift + 6 it doesn’t work. How i can do that in ipad? Thanks !
Greetings Mahnu!
I used I ipad for Obsidian too, and it seems to work for me 🤔 Let me try to give you some hints here to help you
What we're doing is called block referencing. You need to add "^" sign after the name of the note to block reference.
For example, you want to block reference the note named "Bitcion Mining" . You'd type [[Bitcion^]] then Obsidian should show you which block to reference.
Please try this let me know if this works.
@@dsuthapong it work ! Thanks for your help and answer. 😁👍👍
I like the content, just as a tip though, maybe put the music lower, it was a bit distracting. Other than that good video 👍
Thanks so much Oscar!
I uploaded alternative versions below based on your comments :D

Would you mind making a video focusing on the building the hub and subhubs?
You’ve got it! Here’s the video for you 😁

Great work!
Thank you Tonghe 🙏🏻
How is Connect different from Crystalize? If I am making connections between all my recorded knowledge, it would seem to me that I am crystallizing something out of that knowledge. Could someone explain the difference between the two?
Thank you for the question Drew! Actually I have a more updated version of the diagram where Connect and Crystalize are not a linear line, but a cycle. I should make an updated version of this video 😅
Back to your question:
Connect is about “making a connection to another note”
Crystalize is about “transforming content into a more and more concrete idea”
Example:
- Yesterday I “Captured” my frustration about being a startup CEO in a fleeting note as a block of text (unrefined)
- I “Connect” this block of texts to a Hub Note named [[How to be an effective CEO]]
- I then “Crystallize” this block of text into a permanent note named [[A CEO needs to be willing to make an unpopular decision]]. In this note, I Crystallized my understanding of being a good CEO.
From this permanent note, I Connect to another permanent note named [[CEO is a lonely job]]
I hope this helps a bit 😅
Thank you thank you thank you. :')
Thank you for watching 🥰
Great content 🙂👍 keep it going. There are a few pointers, I think the music is a bit too loud. Also towards the end the music was too rhythmic and glitchy so it was very distracting (because remember, speech has a rhythm too), and finally the audio of your voice has just a little bit too much reverb, it may be from your surroundings and maybe from an effect you use.
Best of luck 🙂
Thank you so much Mohamed! Really appreciate your feedback. Yeah so many people commented on the music that I need to create another 2 versions of this video with lower and no-music 🤣
Other versions of this video:
Softer Music: ruclips.net/video/0rLAZGL9GAo/видео.html
No Music: ruclips.net/video/joi-uiO_mdc/видео.html
Regarding reverb, I will need to try finding a way to treat my space better since this place is super echo-y .
Thanks again for the feedback :)
@@dsuthapong you are very welcome Darin 😊, wow you actually made videos with different music huh! Good job, the videos are valuable enough to repost indeed 🙏
You can start simple with heavy curtains, and wall or floor carpets (strategically placed of course), that will make enough difference, since the problem isn't severe, the reverb is just a little high, just a little
Best of luck 🌼
When you talk about Connect, are you showing it in Obsidian? Are you using a plugin that shows Obsidian in white?
Yes, I use the Minimal plug-in that makes Obsidian white 😍
Great video! Just one question: You recommend to create a hub early on, but isn't that opposed to the philosophy to have the notes and connections first and see into what the cluster emerge? Instead of creating these structure top down in the beginning?
Thanks for the question Patrick! You are right! The network-note-taking communities normally encourage the philosophy of the bottom-up approach. However, I also do like the philosophy of “Favorite Problems” from Richard Feynman as well. And i do think that creating hub notes early on are like listing out things you want to capture, providing the lens you can use to filter things to want to consume and write about. I don’t think having hub notes early on is necessary ;however, it could be very helpful for some people ☺️
Amazing Content!!!!! Keep it up! You got a new subscriber :3

How did you add the icons before your folders?
I used shortcuts for adding emoji!
Windows
Windows logo key + . (period).
Mac
Control + Command + Spacebar
Hi! Can you explain how you use the "Production" folder? Thank you!
It’s basically storing any creative projects that are the output of the zettelkasten, like the script of this video ^^
@@dsuthapong Thanks for replying, I really like how you simplify the process. hopefully you post more videos with "real life" application of the method. Subscribing now!
How did you add icons to the folders tab - is that Mac only? I use Linux and Windows only at the moment.
Hi! You can simply adding emoji using keyboard shortcut :)
Windows: windows key + period
Please see this video for details

In your example at 8:50 when you hover over the Win-Win note, is that Win-Win note a permanent note? What's the location 3637 mean?
Hi… it’s a literature note. I use kindle plugin to automatically get kindle highlights into obsidian.
Location 3637 is from the kindle plugin. It’s the location of that highlight in kindle book.
Hello i have one question, I try shift + 6 but does it work in Mac? If not can you give me an advice ?
Hi Esteban! May you please take a video (maybe on a phone) of your trying to type this and it doesn’t work … and send to darinsuth@gmail.com?
Hello Darin. At video runtime 11.34, how did you come up in your mind of the 2 LINKAGES REGARDING CUSTOMERS out of so many thousands of your notes ?
There is actually no right and wrong way here, but in this case i used was just thinking “what are other notes that also talk about this?” But now sometimes i also explicitly search for the keywords in my vault to find the connection :)
@@dsuthapong Thank you for the reply.
How do you sync to your iPhone or iPad?
Hi Jeska! I used icloud :)
Thank you for the video, very informative. I switched from from Zettlr and now I have lots of my files that are named using Zattelkasten id, is there a way to show title as file name?
Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏻
Hmm i found this plugin which might be helpful. You can try this :)

Thanks for sharing!.
Do you use logseq?
Hey yonathan! Yes I do! I'm about to talk about it in the near-future video. I tried it and really liked it, but I found that it's a bit buggy in some cases (especially when you use it with Obsidian). But I think logseq is one of the best apps for Zettelkasten :)
Hi Darin. I found this video to be most useful. It think you could improve the video by deleting all the music. It is very distracting.
Hi There! Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, most people had the same thought as you do about music, so I uploaded an alternative version without music. Please see below. Thank you so much for your support 🙏🏻

@@dsuthapong Thanks very much. I found your video very informative.
Hi Darin, thank you for a great video indeed. BTW, I have a problem of creating an empty note file by pressing either "command" or "control" and "Hit"
Oh I just figured out on my Mac, I need to press 'cmd' and click !
Always having a problem with a myriad of short cut on new app apparently.
Cheers from Seoul Korea
Hi Cosmo! Glad it worked out! The other way to quickly create a note is to
1. Type [[Name of your note]]
2. Press option+enter
You can see the example in this video

You just type "^" on your phone and it will work the same as Shift+6 :)
@@dsuthapong oh it was obvious ! I did not notice, sorry and thank a lot ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I like the content of your videos, but can you PLEASE turn down the volume of the pointless music in the background???
Thank you for your feedback John! Will incorporate this in the next video definitely :D
I cannot find the first video you suggest? Thank you!

Thanks, but I got confused during the actual demo. After watching about 20 videos on ZettelKasten using digital tools, I'm beginning to think that analog is probably the best way to do it. Every program has a different and quirky way of implementing zettelkasten, learning curve is hap hazard and seems I'd be spending so much time fiddling around with the interface and commands instead of actually taking notes and being productive.
Hi Abaseen! Yes, actually a physical zettelkasten is not bad at all. There are so many benefits. Handwriting takes more effort and helps you remember things better. Also you can layout paper on a desk and see connection that way. In fact, Ryan Holidays also use paper-base. Please use what works best for you🥰
First thing I noticed is that we have the same headphone haha.
Ha! This one is classic 😂 I love these headphones but it’s just a bit challenging to wear these in Bangkok where the weather is super 🔥☀️ and my ears can get too warm sometimes.
BTW, Thanks so much for stopping by 😀
Thank you! I wonder how long it takes to make a note. And how many notes you normally take per day?
Hi Andreo!
It really depends. On a busy weekday when i don’t read or consume anything, i normally make 0-3 permanent notes out of my learning from daily experience. But on a day that i have time to reflect or read a lot, i would take around 5-10 permanent notes.
It normally takes me about 1-3 minutes to make a note, but i regularly update the notes as i have more insights. Hope this helps 🥰
Great video. I think you should not give tutorial about Obsidian considering that you have existing videos about the subject. Second point: The music is in my opinion too disturbing.
