I am pretty new to Obsidian (and online note-taking in general) after just having finished Tiago Fortre's BASB. I love the overall structure PARA gives me but quickly realised I wouldn't have as much fluidity with all the notes I need to digitise, so this video has just come at the exact right time and saved me potentially hours searching for a solution. Top man, loving your channel already!
Nested tags is easily the best and easiest to organise notes, and still only bear have those. It becomes a folder structure but the same note can exist in as many ”folders” you want. Then bear also have links and backlinks
MOCs seem to put up my antennae where I start noticing details about a particular subject. It's as if the mind becomes aware that there's a space to start collecting and contextualizing ingredients in the larger recipe of understanding. Found this v helpful, thanks!
Great insight, the goals you have create a funnel for your attention. The higher quality your goals--the more clear, inspiring, and meaningful--the better you can funnel this attention.
I think you meant the "Dewey" decimal system at (13:25) and (13:35). I used to misspell "ridiculous" both online and offline as "rediculous" until someone online corrected me. That sort of error was not a good look for an academic, so I appreciated the correction.
"I've seen that bookmarks are a great help for creating MOCs in Obsidian. Because in places where you have many similar bookmarks you can quickly create MOCs afterward. First, you bookmark everything interessting, and then your Map of Content is practically already finished."

This is such a great video, thank you for sharing. I also have a very heavy preference towards spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and self discovery in general lmao
Thanks for the nice comment! That's awesome you are into those subjects. Not many people are. But they are so important. Please tell me more. What's something you are exploring inside of one of those areas more recently? I can point you to some resources I have found helpful.
Title: PARA not working. In Video: talking about MOC. It like making title: "keyboard not working? use mouse instead" i don't understand how MOC and PARA contradict each other?
MOCs are just a digital index which naturally would be a collection of links to notes and you can make multiple of them, nothing special about them. Nick Milo. and all his zealots hyping MOCs, made me quit taking notes.... Its funny how everytime these zealots talks about MOCs it sounds like a jehovah's witness sales pitch telling you that its the ONLY way to organize and the only things they ever take notes on are either how to use MOCs inside MOCs Inside MOCs, or some topic you need to be on shrooms to be thinking about like "what is insight", "Is my hand really my hand?", constant fuzzy subjects never a real study or project. Another downside to MOCs are no one else uses it, so if you ever have to share with colleagues or friends they have no idea what's going on so they start scrolling for days to find what they were looking for, where any other folder structure is instantly understood, and doesn't need a seminar to explain how to set up mocs and add to them
Kid, can't you just make the video and get to the point? All those "jokes", and interruptions, and comments about your dorm room are completely unnecessary.

Thanks for this lovely content!
It's awesome you found it after BASB. I think it compliments the video well. I made it soon after taking BASB-14.
This is the best video on MOC I have seen. The home note is mind blowing. Your calm energy is refreshing. I look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that a lot.
@@aidanhelfant Bro, can you provide the vault used in the video??

Nested tags are awesome!
Thanks Aidan! For me, MOCs are like creating your own webpage.
Exactly, you're creating a personalized Wikipedia.

Won't misspell it again. 😊
Married to a librarian, I was about to comment this
Bro pls provide the vault in the video
"I've seen that bookmarks are a great help for creating MOCs in Obsidian. Because in places where you have many similar bookmarks you can quickly create MOCs afterward. First, you bookmark everything interessting, and then your Map of Content is practically already finished."
I think that's a great technique!
Bookmarks are an awesome addition to Obsidian.
Isn't this kind of like doing a notion but in obsidian? Can you pls do a vid comparing the two and the use cases?
If you have thousands of notes in Notion, it can be a cluster mess. In obsidian, accessibility of information is a big thing
That’s a good idea, but I don’t know enough about Notion to do so.
how did you create the template for the MOC? I can't do any of the commands

How does Para doesn't let us link between folder? If I have a note in project it can still be linked to a note in ressource and vice-versa, can't it ?
That's true, but only in a linked notetaking software like Obsidian. In something like Evernote it doens't work.
@@aidanhelfant ah yes indeed, I'm so deep into obsidian these days I don't remember anything else exists !

I can point you to some resources I have found helpful.
So in the second note i have to type reference in[[ to previos first note ]]?
Depends on if you think it would be a useful connection! If you are just linking for the sake of linking, what's the point.
Very helpful. Thank you.
You got it!
Can you start every video kissing the Teddy peanut butter jar 😂
Lol, probably not lol.
Though for one it's great!
You and peanut butter 😂😂😂😂😂
I know. It's my thing xd

One might say the jokes make it more enjoyable to watch 😉
Make your own video! He did a great job!

You did great Aidan, thank you for the video.
