Practical Demo: Read eBooks and Create Visual Summaries in Obsidian

Описание: ✏️ Sign up for the Visual Thinking Workshop: https://www.visual-thinking-workshop....
🚀 Cohort 11 starts on 16 November 2024. 📔 We will study The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul
----
In this video, I provide a quick demonstration of how I organize my book notes for Bob Doto's Zettelkasten: A System for Writing using Obsidian.md. I’ll show you the process of converting an EPUB eBook into markdown format, making it easy to work with in Obsidian. You’ll also see how I create and organize visual chapter summaries that link directly to the relevant sections of the book, helping to improve understanding and retention. This video is perfect for anyone interested in visual note-taking, Zettelkasten methodology, or learning how to read and organize eBooks efficiently in Obsidian. Whether you’re new to Obsidian or a seasoned user, this demo will give you practical insights on integrating visual thinking with your note-taking workflow.
