The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. Your second brain should work the same.
In Obsidian, making and following connections is frictionless. Tend to your notes like a gardener; at the end of the day, sit back and marvel at your own knowledge graph.
OB_Templates is a Obsidian reference for my note templates.
I have crafted these templates for my personal use, as such they are tailored made for my needs. In any case I decided to share them since most of them have been created based on other people templates, my OneNote, work notes and years of note taking.
I have converted coffee into this repository. If you thinks it was worth it consider helping me buy more coffee PayPal
OB_Templates it's not a vault template, this is simply a folder of templates to be added in your vault.
You can add the templates to your vault in different ways, there are some of me easiest examples.
- Download the repository, extract the files and add to your vault.
- Go to a specific template and copy the text (Make sure you open in raw mode) and copy the text to a file in your vault.

-
All folder start with "0" followed by a letter Since this is my main note system it's value is 0, the letter determines the folder main branch. EX: 0A_Template. "0" -> Root notes folder "A" -> First vault folder "Templates" -> Main type of information
-
All the files carry the information from it's hierarchy. EX: 0A_1_1_DailyLog, "0" -> Root notes folder "A" -> First vault folder "1" -> first folder in the vault "1" -> First Sub-folder "DailyLog" -> File Name
