I help people get more out of their notes and ideas.

Block links in Obsidian technically work. But they show up as a string of meaningless numbers in your note, and IMHO, it looks kinda messy.
Heading links do the exact same job but still read like actual language. If you’re going to link to parts of your notes, use these instead.
Same shortcut, but one version you'll actually want to look at again.

You don’t have a creativity problem. You have a portfolio problem.
The solution? Start becoming an investor in ideas.

I estimate that 90% of what I capture never makes it into Obsidian.
That's not a problem, that’s just part of the process. The trick is to capture enough to have quality candidates to pick from.

Your Caps Lock key is doing nothing right now.
But with a free utility called Hyperkey, you can use it to create custom hotkeys that won’t conflict with anything else on your system.
The most useless key on your keyboard might become your most useful one.
Grab the utility here → https://hyperkey.app/

Not every card on an Obsidian Canvas has to link to a note.
Some of mine are just a code blocks that I lay out to create custom dashboards.
The canvas doesn't care what's "atomic." It just renders what you give it.

Not every idea has to completely original.
Adding an idea to your system doesn't mean you invented it.
It just means you think it deserves more of your attention than it's gotten so far.

Broken links aren’t necessarily bad. In Obsidian, an unresolved link is usually an intention, not a mistake. Think of it as dropping a thought marker for future-you to stumble onto. Just make sure you actually go back and revisit it.
