🌟The Obsidian Beginner Resource List

Below you'll find:

  • A curated list of my best pieces of content on Obsidian
  • The best creators to follow in the Obsidian Community
  • Links to immerse yourself in the Obsidian Community

This is the Obsidian beginner resource list I wish I had 3 years ago.

I recommend save 1-2 pieces of content in each section and come back to this list later as you learn more. I HIGHLY recommend you start with my article: The Only Obsidian Beginner Guide You’ll Ever Need.

Don’t overwhelm yourself, have fun! 🎊

👋Hi, I'm Aidan Helfant!

I used to be addicted to video games like a fish is addicted to water.

Now I have made notetaking into my game. I have reignited my childhood curiosity and fallen back in love with learning. Having invested more than 1000+ hours into effective learning, notetaking, and studying, I want to teach you what I've learned in a fraction of the time.
