Optimal Note Taking Framework for all subjects using Obsidian

Below are my study with me stream info!
Default Schedule: [6 am] to [4 pm] EDT (GMT -4) Everyday except Friday!
We take a 30-minute break after every three 50/10-minute sessions, total 9 sessions. After 2 month of studying 13 hours a day with no big breaks, I can confidently say that having a longer break like this increases productivity significantly and increases your enjoyment too.

Come talk to me on Discord! I hold mini Podcasts during long breaks, and join the podcast-queue if you want to chat with me on stream! The discord is also a fully featured study server, where we have study tracker, tons of study groups and clubs where you can join or build a community, and you can be featured on my laptop live!

I also have the same stream on twitch, so click here if you prefer to watch me there:

On the bottom right of screen, "=" represents study session, "＞" represents 30m break, and the number represents which session we are on.

Q&A video and more about who I am at 1000 subs!

Hey Brad, I am so thrilled to have bumped across this video. You are inspiring. I am 64 years old with a PhD in Mech Eng and I wish I had tools like this and people like you in my life when I was a younger student (now I am still an older student). Keep up the good work helping people around you; the rest will come naturally. Regards.

As someone studying Astrophysics, you calling Astronomy Astrology is not only offensive but sacrilegious haha😂

[SparkFromWithin]

Dude, I am not that far into this video and I am impressed by your energy and flow. You are a great presenter.

[AndresMartinez-wwqz]

I am an Obsidian supremacist (I'm very proud of it), & this just has to be the best video I've seen about it. I'll save it in case anyone I know wishes to get a glimpse of what this incredible tool can do. Great job. I'll make sure to check out your other videos, bro.

[FaiziCrofts]

loved the cinematic intro - hysterically funny and dorky (and actually - true)

[Sameer.Trivedi]

This is the best tutorial video I have ever seen in my life. Every second shows the amount of work you put in.

[ZukunftBilden]

This was incredibly well made. The cinematic Intro minute is the best salesvideo for Obsidian. They should put that on their official homepage.

[joolz]

This is actually the best obsidian video I've seen no joke. I just got into it and with endless i had no idea where to go.

You sir rock. The beginning of your video hooked me. Keep producing videos like that.

[samamirrezaie]

You know what? I always geek out about Obsidian to my friends, and now that I think about it, the intro is exactly how I picture it😂 It's just perfect!

[kostaftp]

I'm just starting out in the world of note-taking apps, but after that 1-minute Intro, I'll name my first child "Obsidian the Mighty, Heir to Thunder and Maker of Nations."

[StevenMichels]

This is one of the best (and funniest!) videos on Obsidian out there.

[monibnasr]

please continue on doing this great job. and I can't wait to see your future videos.

[maryambano]

Wow! This is so awesome. You are a pro editor!

[rnfeliks]

[pearlrose]

Thank you so much for putting this together. By far the best video I've watched on how to use Obsidian as a newcomer. All of the others I've watched have left me extremely confused and feeling like I was missing something. I will be coming back to reference all of this great information as I slowly learn each piece you've talked about here. Amazing video! Again, thank you! I finally feel like I have a solid place to start.

[gingershadow]

You're an absolute legend mate! Thanks for this video. It has everything I didn't find but desperately needed for my upcoming med studies. Wish you all the best!

[ThePeterbest]

Thanks a lot man. Watched like a million videos about this before getting to this and i must say i finally understand thanks to you.
