Obsidian Workflow

Obsidian Workflow

Obsidian is a Markdown-based knowledge management tool that stores all notes as plain .md files on your local machine.

Why Obsidian

  • Plain text — no vendor lock-in, files are just .md
  • Local-first — your data stays on your machine
  • Bidirectional linkswikilinks create a knowledge graph
  • Graph view — see how your notes connect visually

My Vault Structure

├── files/

└── *.md  (all notes live in the root)

Exporting to the Digital Garden

Since Obsidian uses plain Markdown with wikilinks, notes can be imported directly into this digital garden The garden parses wikilinks and builds the same graph you see in Obsidian.
