How to make your notes visual in Obsidian

In this video, I demonstrate how to make your notes visual with visual PKM plugins like Excalidraw, Excalibrain, Advanced Slides, and Mind Map. Adding visual elements to your notes, whether through distinguishing text or adding images and video, helps make notes more meaningful to you, increasing understanding and retention.

Ive looked at Obsidien but thought that the learning curve was too steep. Thanks to you (a big thanks) I ‘get it’. You’re a great communicator

Nicole, your content is ON POINT! Always so well organized and presented.
I’m inspired to level up my Obsidian game.
Also, you seem like a super interesting person which adds so much to your content: citizen of the world, polyglot, D&D wizard, Obsidian master, YouTuber, Testing maven… and then the personal brand on point (red hair, red chair, red thumbnails…)
My money is on your channel blowing up this year 🚀
Rock on!

I would love to see that video on Obsidian Tracker, it seems super useful, but a bit overwhelming (as most obsidian plugins seem to be when you first start using them).

Very keen for your videos on the "tracking" section. Thanks for all the other Obsidian related videos as well. Really helped me get up and running.

Thank you so much for the video! I've been struggling with digital notes for years, most apps can only insert static images, so having to open up the drawing program each time felt like such a pain. And Excalibrain and Mind Map look super interesting too :D

[caglarongan]

I really liked how you conceptualized by contextualizing this topic :) Visual notes should be discussed more on the community. This was great, thank you !

[nates]

Great video Nicole! I would love to see a deep dive on those trackers sooner than later :)

[szym]

Hey Nicole! First of all, thanks a lot for producing such awesome videos and giving us awesome ideas by introducing your pragmatic workflows! Your page was one of the very few I did not get tired of while jumping from one video to the other!
Regarding the tracker plugin, it seems to be a very nice one! Thanks for introducing it!
