7 Obsidian Templates That Supercharge My Second Brain
An overview on how I use templates in obsidian
Templates are powerful. They help you save time and be productive. You don’t have to type the same information in multiple places every time you create a new note.
They simplify your workflow by reducing friction to create new notes. Using templates will help you fall in love with managing information because you can automate repetitive tasks.
In this article, I will share with you the templates I use in my obsidian vault.
Templater Plugin
I prefer the templater plugin over the default template plugin. Unlike templates, templater allows you to insert variables and functions as well as javascript codes.
It allows you to create powerful templates that can automate mundane manual tasks. Following are the exact templates I’m using in the obsidian vault.
Literature Note
Literature note is a template for all the information I consume. Articles, Videos, and podcasts. Except for books. For books, I use the book search plugin which I will show you next.
The template is simple.
