Introduction

Today I’m going to set up an Obsidian task system from scratch, focused on the tasks that still manage to find their way to my desk, even in retirement. Getting organized will help me capture things quickly and come back to them later without thinking too hard.

Obsidian is primarily a note-taking application, which isn’t strange since I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now to keep my daily journal. Thats how long it took me to develope the habit of writing in it every day.

Today I’m building a task management system alongside my journaling system. If I can get this working, the next step will be projects. Somewhere along the way, I’ll also want to look at theming and CSS snippets. But not today.

Since I covered the Map of Content and Journaling in a previous tutorials, I’ll copy those items from my main vault.

In the spirit of not dragging this out too long, let’s get to it!
