Key takeaways (my phrasing)

  • Daily Notes → capture without criticism. Dump ideas first; process later.
  • Use #Nota only for notes outside the journal, and move them to a curated folder (keep raw annotations elsewhere).
  • Folders over tags for organization (personal preference).
  • Zotero + Obsidian (Zotero Integration plugin): manage PDFs, send highlights/annotations into Obsidian.
  • Good companion videos/playlists:
    • Writing with Zotero and Obsidian (Danny Talks Tech)
    • Como usar o Obsidian para estudar / “Everything starts with a note-taking system.”
    • How I simply avoid procrastination (Josh Strife Says) — strong motivation clip.

Workflow (adapted)

  1. Capture (Daily Note): quick entries; no judgment.
  2. Promote: if it deserves to live outside the journal, tag #Nota and move to the Notes/ folder.
  3. Refine: add source link, 1–3 atomic claims, and a next action.
  4. Reading pipeline: PDFs → Zotero → highlights → Obsidian (Reading Notes/).
  5. Areas via folders: Areas/, Projects/, Notes/, Reading Notes/, Archive/.
  6. Mentoring angle: show both my setup and how others (video) do it; include mymind/books cross-references.
