My philosophy with newbies learning how to use #Obsidian and organize their #PKM is just start simple and come up with your own system bit by bit and tweak along the way. (I don't like following other people's systems.)
Yesterday I wondered if there was a better way π€£. Thanks to the core plugin Bases and the community plug-in Notebook Navigator, I managed to organize my tag sprawl into something more manageable. Tags are such a pain - I have no idea how to use them before, so I simply tagged stuff randomly in the past. So, Notebook navigator revealed that I had hundreds of tags, with many of them only used once π«
So, yesterday I spent a long time getting rid of them.
Fortunately, organizing my vault is one of those activities I love, so I had a lot of fun doing it but it was still tedious nitpicky work.
My next step is to come up with a way to catalog and org my PKM. I've used Obsidian mostly as a word processor cum research base to write drafts for posts and journals, but each of these drafts can be knowledge docs. I may have to finally apply the #Zettlekasten system π
