I wanted to show you how I use a project in as part of my Obsidian "second brain". A project is something I want to get done soon and it will take multiple steps. To demonstrate that I shared five steps.
First, I outlined how I start by creating a project folder, and a project plan note in Obsidian.

Next, I explained how I think about projects, the template I use to organize my thoughts, actions, and information.

Third, I unpack some of the esoteric and technical aspects of my project template, covering community plugins Templeter, and Dataview.

Fourth, I show the template in action, how I gather research, and aggregate useful information from interviews into one spot. This also introduces other templates like the PeopleCard

And finally, I back track a little, and give some of the justification for using Markdown - which is how Obsidian works with text files.

So in summary, I start a project, explain the intention behind the template, the mechanics of how it works, then show it in action. I give some context for why it is formatted the way it is and there you have it. An in depth overview of how I work with a project.
