Hi Nocole.. Thanks for sharing the theme used. Please could you also share what plugins you use (and how you've set them up) especially to show the Note outline like you showed around 3:40. Regards
I very much appreciate your honesty and frankness, specifically when you talk about how much your workflow truly varies from book to book and day to day. It can be irritating to watch videos where the workflow or strategy being described is implied to be the only one you should use every single time. Also, personality has been a topic I've been obsessed with for a few years and one thing that often comes up is how Myers Briggs classifications come up surprisingly starkly wrong about human personality as shown when compared to statistical personality models like the Big 5. If interested, I'd recommend looking into it!
Thank you! Actually, I am already aware of the Big 5 (one of the tests I took for a company a few years ago). Hmmm, I really should have a page for personality testing... thanks! Glad you liked the video! I hate strict methodologies, and I think the fun of taking notes gets lost in a lot of them. Happy that resonated with you!

@@nicolevdh Awesome! Yeah it's really cool how much personality permeates so many aspects of people and all things related to people. Obsidian is amazing for making all those connections.
Your videos are godsends! I have been searching for workflow videos on Obsidian for a long time and yours are the most comprehensive and practical. Thank you so much 🙏
Yay! I also love seeing practical applications of the tools I use. Everyone has different ways to do things, and I find it fascinating! Glad you liked mine. :)
hey Nicole, your contents are amazing. I was struggling a few days ago finding a Note taking app that fits myself but now you gave me everything i was looking for. Thank you thank you thank you so much, you're the best person on internet today (for me) haha
Hi Nicole! This is an older video, but I love revisiting your content. It’s very inspiring to me. At the beginning of the video, you mention that you take a lot of notes. I'm very curious, how many notes do you take on average per day?
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! I’m on vacation and looking forward to getting back to reliable wifi so I can watch this lol. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great video as always! Thanks a lot for the awesome content :) Here is my own 3-step process for summarizing books: 1. I prefer the old fashioned-way and ready my books analog. While reading, I underline / circle important sections or scribble down notes at the sides of the pages. 2. I create my summary in LogSeq (a program that's similar to Obsidian) based on my analog pencil-notes: I copy the passages I underlined "as quotes" (~1/3) , skip highlighted sections that I know are no longer relevant for me (~1/3) and summarize in my own words (~1/3). 3. I then create a summary of my summary at the top of my LogSeq note that always follows the same structure. I know that sounds ultra-nerdy, but science shows that we learn the most when we apply new information (and not just copy it): - What was the author's purpose? - What are my top 3 quotes? - What are the top 3 important learnings? - What are my top 3 personal revelations? (How do I apply the learned knowledge to my life?) (Obviously you don't have to restrict yourself to 3 points, but it helps me to get to the most important takeaways from the book.) Keep up the awesome work Nicole!!
Logseq is great! I also recommend it for people who prefer outliners. I also really like the community, plus the app is open source-- all good things! I can't believe you still read analog books! :) But I know there are a lot of people who prefer it that way. Whatever works! Thanks for sharing your workflow as well!
Oh, happy to hear that, Ivy! I actually turned it off halfway through because I wasn't sure people would like it. Thanks so much for letting me know. :)
@@nicolevdh Definitely! Thanks for making this video! Your take for sure helps affirm the constant internal dialogue between the part of me that *likes* reading just for reading and the part that must collect knowledge as a crow would trinkets.
Is there a way to connect thoughts within one note? For example I’m reading a book and want to link ideas from one place in the note to another place within that same note and still be able to see the connection in the map of connections. Is it possible?
What do you use for screen recording? I’ve tried Ecamm Live on a HD screen, but the quality and colors seem off when I look at the recording afterwards (it does not have any screen recording quality settings)
If you have a mac you can just press CMD + SHIFT + 5 for screen recording. On windows you can press Windows + G (for Gaming) and then record your screen from there. However I think you have to change some settings on windows so that the screen recording records the entire screen and not just current window.
I'm sure there is a great deal of good information here, but I'm still in the how to get the stuff in readwise into Obsidian and which vault did it go to. Do you have a readwise video... will go check.
@@nicolevdh Thank you so much Nicole, I was waiting for your reply but I didn't receive any notification when you replied (typical RUclips behavior). Just today I remembered it and started looking for this comment. Another question how you got it (full path of the note) showing on the left instead of the right and customized the look of it's folders?
@@nicolevdh Thank you for the response, I deleted my question, because after several tries with space and without space in between the expression I figured it out. But I had'nt watched the video you mentioned so i have something to look forward to. Thanks a lot!
Hi! Do you mean the other note that's on the right pane so that it's side by side with the first note? In my case, I used the command shortcut (you can see the keys I'm pressing on the bottom left of the screen in this video) but an easier way would be to drag and drop the tab of the note to the right side of the screen, where you want it.
Hi! I enforce the template through my Readwise export settings, so that when things are exported to Obsidian, they already have the template. You'd need to put that into your export settings too.
How TF do you categorise a culture? With what framework? That is impossible. I bet Erin didn't look at sustainability, hey? I can already tell this book is going to be really bad.
In this video, I used the theme Minimal, by kepano: github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal
Hi Nocole.. Thanks for sharing the theme used. Please could you also share what plugins you use (and how you've set them up) especially to show the Note outline like you showed around 3:40. Regards
Hi Tony! That is a really good idea. I'm going to do that from now on! However, for this video, the plugin in question is the core plugin "Outline".
@@nicolevdh 🙏bedankt
It's interesting how all your latest videos are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 😂💜
Wow, cool! Maybe you should give me a heads up of what else you're looking for so I can make them. :D
Your content and the way you explain concepts so simply and effortlessly is amazing and i love your hair! you deserve millions of subs

And yet another excellent workflow vid... more of these too. Please...
Hey Tim! Happy you're enjoying these workflows. Anything in particular you'd like to see?
I guess I'll just keep watching your videos then...seriously, you're in my brain! How do you know what I want to know before I even want to know it!?
Ha! I don't know how I got in there, but maybe you'll let me take a look around while I'm here. ;)
Hey Nicole, thanks for the video. I was wondering, since this video is 8 months old, are you currently using the book search plugin?
Your channel is awesome! Congratulations!
Thank you, I appreciate it! :)
whoa i love the captions with keystrokes
Oh, happy to hear that, Ivy! I actually turned it off halfway through because I wasn't sure people would like it. Thanks so much for letting me know. :)

Yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I definitely feel the pressure to "properly" process things, but it's just not feasible all the time.
at 18:38 , how do I create this stylized and indented blue "Summary"-Block you have at the top of the page?
Excellent content as always! 🙂
Hey, I really appreciate the support, Sean! :) It all helps!
Is there a way to connect thoughts within one note?

Text wise you might want to check out Marilyn Delaure & Moritz Fink's "Culture Jamming"
Thank you, Tim, I've just downloaded a sample of that to check out!
What theme are you using or did you customize it?
You might enjoy the GLOBE Project 's "Cultural Clusters" (I believe it was produced by the Thunderbird School) and Hofstede's cultural dimensions.
Thanks, Corina, I'll check it out!
What do you use for screen recording? I’ve tried Ecamm Live on a HD screen, but the quality and colors seem off when I look at the recording afterwards (it does not have any screen recording quality settings)
Hey! This might be very basic, but I use QuickTime! :) I've never used Ecamm.
If you have a mac you can just press CMD + SHIFT + 5 for screen recording. On windows you can press Windows + G (for Gaming) and then record your screen from there. However I think you have to change some settings on windows so that the screen recording records the entire screen and not just current window.

I do have a Readwise video! Check it out here: pulse.ly/7u7zfqy6qn
Hello, where can I get the book template used in the video?
Hi! You can get it over on my Patreon, where I share all my templates and all the scripts/workflows that I show on my videos: pulse.ly/tlnwdouoln
Hey Nicole, which plug-in you are using to get the breadcrumbs? Thank you.
Hi Hamza! Do you mean the full path of the note? It's the Show Current File Path plugin. :)
@@nicolevdh Thank you so much Nicole, I was waiting for your reply but I didn't receive any notification when you replied (typical RUclips behavior). Just today I remembered it and started looking for this comment.
Another question how you got it (full path of the note) showing on the left instead of the right and customized the look of it's folders?
I didn't change those specifically - it's just based on my theme! You could compare the CSS and change your current theme's CSS if you'd like, though!
Thank you for your very interesting approach of dealing with Book Notes.
Technically no. It's a core Obsidian feature called Callouts, which I go over here: ruclips.net/video/TqYQ0kA1yAo/видео.html
@@nicolevdh Thank you for the response, I deleted my question, because after several tries with space and without space in between the expression I figured it out. But I had'nt watched the video you mentioned so i have something to look forward to. Thanks a lot!
What You use for numbers in the sidebar? This could be very useful for me since I use Vim inside of Obsidian.
Do you mean the line numbers? You can enable them in Settings > Editor. :)
@@nicolevdh Many thanks. :)
How many pages per hour can you study while taking notes on average of a complex textbook?
I don't know! I don't actually time myself in that way. I just focus on actually learning the thing.
The Obsidian learning curve can be frustrating. I can't figure out how you even got this right tab.
Hi! Do you mean the other note that's on the right pane so that it's side by side with the first note?

Is there a chance to download the template somewhere? 🙏
Hi! I enforce the template through my Readwise export settings, so that when things are exported to Obsidian, they already have the template. You'd need to put that into your export settings too.
@@nicolevdh oh. thats actually real smart. thanks for that idea. ☺
Watching it now
Thanks, VInit! Glad you were able to see it.
