Using Obsidian as a Bullet Journal

I love the Bullet Journal, but as a programmer there are some limitations that are a bummer. Code snippets, screenshots, tagging, and search are all things I need to do so I can better track what I've done in a day.

That's where Obsidian comes in. In this video you'll see how I transformed this amazing Markdown notes tool into my daily Bullet Journal on steroids.

I'm using the AnuPpucin theme together with the Style Settings plugin. I also use the Book Search plugin (you can search these things).

Rob, I have been following you for years. You have no idea how many people like me you must have helped over the years. I am also a big fan of Goggins and I keep a physical Bujo. It looks like I will be switching. The idea of being able to use Obsidian for this and have it available wherever I go on my phone is a big plus.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, I was very curious about your workflow when you mentioned it in your last email and this did not disappoint. Now I need to hurry up to finish the book that I am currently reading so I can finally start your new Roadmap book.

Very interesting use of obsidian as a bujo.

I'm not quite ready yet to digitize my bujo (I ended up with a paper bujo after failing with many digital options) but this is my far the most convincing idea to make a digital bujo.

Excellent video thank you - I read the imposters handbook many years ago and was brought here from your email.

One question is how can this workflow fit into professional compliance contexts? Generally developers can install anything on employers machines but data leaving corporate networks is a touchy compliance area.

E.g. a professional engineer may encounter a lot of moments you touched upon whilst sat in front of work machines.

Do you have a Vault Template for this? and which plugins are enabling you for Icons. Thanks for sharing this, I was struggling moving away from a BuJo Paper notebook to Digital, even so I work in Tech ;)

It was nice seeing how you do things. Its very organized and methodical

Fantastic content! How do you create the icons inside checkboxes when you use characters like > < ?

For anyone watching, logseq has a better experience out of the box for precisely this, I still use obsidian tho. But if you like bujo you will love logseq

It feels like you're remaking Logseq
