After Finishing the Book

Integration into obsidian notes

• Obsidian notes are used to effectively recall things
• A good place to start is the theme/genre of the book
  • Feel free to make new MOCs to support your new insights
    • ex) Making a note about stoicism for Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
• Just start at the top and start growing your notes
  • Having a note template is handy for making the process easier
  • If everything falls under a certain category, you can add put a tag for it in the template to organize it
• I personally like to create new notes for separate ideas or concepts
  • In this note, I have various headers depending on what the note is referencing
    • Principles/Qualities
      • the fundamentals of an idea
    • Benefits and downfalls/dangers
      • its effects on other ideas and importance
    • Cultivation and practices
      • Methods of manifestation or procedures
  • If an idea you’re writing in a note can have it’s own characteristics like principles, benefits, cultivation, then it’s best to make a new note Application
• I still have trouble with this part
• Application notes are for applying what you learned in your life
• I’m working on a personal laws note for mindsets and practices I want to apply in my life
  • Can use header-specific note links if your’e lazy to link to the future plans portion
  • I keep a note called personal daily laws for the different principles to start off the day in a good mindset
    • Kind of like sticky notes in the mirror
• I like to link my laws at the top of my daily planner to remind myself to read them
• Can also incorporate them into weekly reviews for more investment on practices that take more work
  • If you were to read a book on meditation, fitness, dieting, etc
