In this hands-on guided project you will learn how to use the knowledge base app Obsidian. With its powerful interface, Obsidian makes it easy for anyone to structure note taking dynamics suitable for a variety of purposes: from personal journaling, to study or work notes. On top of that, one can establish links across notes and quite literally build a digital brain based on all of these connections, powered by Obsidian's Graph View.
