Direction

I just like the idea to write in some safe, permanent place. I could use physical notebooks, but I prefer files available everywhere.
One place to have personal to-dos.
One place to my diary.
One place to my goals and dreams. When remembering about my life principles.
One place to my knowledge. When doing research.
One place to my writing and future book.
One place to my reference.
One place to my life principles. When deciding what to do.
One place for my projects and documentation.
Easily retrievable knowledge - just in time.‚

Plugins

Used a lot

• Recent Notes - my own
• Tasks
• Quick Switcher++
• Periodic Notes
• Outliner
• Hider
• Git
• Calendar
• Auto Link Title

Used sometimes

• Advanced Tables
• Better Search Views
• Dataview
• Digital Garden
• Folder Notes
• Footnote Shortcut
• Iconize
• Navigate Cursor History
• Numerals
• Omnisearch
• Readwise Official

Workflow

• Keyboard shortcuts whenever I can, setup as similar as posible to vscode
• Git for backups, iClooud for synchronisation
• Tasks should be only in single place with dataview attributes for completion time. How? Use Tasks plugin to create dynamic views. Where? Project have full tasks list. What about periodical tasks? Only those can be copied many times, but preffered to link them in processes.
