I use Obsidian for all of my note taking and research notes c: Here's an overview of my workflow:

---

Themes
- Dark: AnuPpuccin
- Light: Custom theme that I barely use bc it's genuinely blinding <3

---

Workflow - zettelkasten specifics
*Naming Scheme
-> YYYYMMDD.[Section] - Specific Name
--> YYYYMMDD.[Section]a - Specific Different Name
---> YYYYMMDD.[Section]a1 - Etc
--> YYYYMMDD.[Section]b

*Zettelkasten MOC Structure
-> Multiple "Entry" notes are linked in the MOC file
-> To get to other notes you follow hyperlinked paths from the entry note


---

Plugins
note: Obsidian is perfectly functional with only the core plugins. If you're starting out you shouldn't feel obligated to use any! Start by learning the basics of MD notes then decide if you want to add things
note2: Some people believe in 0 bloat pure optimization nothing without a use isn't installed type configs....I'm not one of those people (but if you are I added a necessary rating column <3)
