If obsidian is your go-to tool, you would love to set goals and track them right from the obsidian dashboard, right?

If your answer is yes, read this article till the end. I’ll walk you through a beginner-friendly step-by-step guide to set goals and track them in obsidian.

Following are the tools that we need for finishing this setup:

  • Dataview Plugin
  • Minimal Theme
  • Kanban Board
  • MetaEdit Plugin
  • Templater Plugin

#1: Download the Demo Vault

The first thing that you have to do is to download the demo vault. This vault includes all the files and settings that we need to download.

Here’s what the dashboard in my demo vault looks like. The multi-columns are achieved by using the multi-column plugin. Here’s a tutorial on how to use that plugin.
