How to Use Daily Notes Properly

Many of us face difficulties when learning technical stuff like Programming or any technical material like Data Science - Cybersecurity - Blockchain ...etc

and taking notes by using traditional methods can be daunting, and there are many applications that will help you to take notes, but after being a mentor for over 14 years, I've seen that most of my students don't know how to take notes, there are many ways of taking notes, there is the Cornell Method and there is the Zettelkasten Method and Mind Mapping and many more, so which one to chose and how to study from them, and how to actually take note, because taking notes from a video lecture is different when you take notes while reading a book!!

After trying many applications like OneNote - Evernote - Notion, I chose OBSIDIAN, and in this course, I will tell you why I chose Obsidian and why you should too

So in this course, I will teach you Obsidian and walk you through the fundamentals of using this amazing software

In this course you will learn:

1- How to install Obsidian

2- How to create notes and link them together

3- How to add images and attachments

4- What is Graph View and how to use it

5- How to open multiple notes at the same time

6- How to use the CANVAS Plugin

7- What is a Kanban Board and how to create one using Canvas in Obsidian

8- What is a Mind Map and how to create one using Canvas in Obsidian

9- How to use the Daily Notes Plugin ... and many more!!

I hope you ENJOY this course and learn from it, I will see you INSIDE the COURSE
