Going forward, beginning with Episode 4, I’ll begin to show how I am using Obsidian to go practically paperless. With the basic posts out of the way, the real fun can begin. The purpose of these first three episodes was to set a baseline for folks who have never seen or used Obsidian to demonstrate how its features can be used as an alternative to Evernote. The note title begins with 202110, and highlighted within the note in yellow is the single incomplete task for the month. That results in a single note–the one I created at the very beginning of this post. And I’m also searching for any notes that contain incomplete tasks: task-todo:””.I’m searching for any file that contains a name 202110 (i.e., 2021 (year) 10 (month)).I can’t remember the quote, but I know Uecher said it, so here is what happens when I search for “Uec” in Obsidian: For instance, Bob Uecher had a great quote about knuckleballs. In these instances, the easiest thing to do is search all the notes for that term. Often, I am just looking for note with a particular term in it. For this episode, I am going to keep it simple, to a few basic examples. I have a whole set of Episodes planned discussing how I find notes in Obsidian. Obsidian, on the other hand, can search using regular expressions, something Evernote doesn’t do. Evernote can search the text within PDFs, and Obsidian can’t yet do that (but I suspect it will be able to do this in the future). In some ways, each application has its advantages over the other when it comes to searching. Searching notesįinally, if I need to find a note in Evernote, I use its search feature, and I can do the same thing with Obsidian.

Obsidian keeps track of to-do items and they can be searched by their state as we will see in the next section. If I wanted to create a new note in Evernote, I would just click the New Note button, or press Cmd-n (on my Mac) and then type out my note.

For this episode, I just wanted to demonstrate how I am doing these four basic things with Obsidian today. Each of these features will be discussed more extensively in future episodes. These four features are at the core of what I do with notes on a day-to-day basis. In this episode, I’m bringing everything together to demonstrate how I emulate 4 basic features of Evernote in Obsidian.

In Episode 2, I showed how I configure Obsidian to take advantage of plug-ins and settings that I find useful for this practically paperless experiment.
