D&D session planning. Being able to query all my plans and notes is super handy.

Documentation, for personal reference. Stuff I rather not reinvent down the line.

Could set up a wiki, but I like the flexible nature of Obsidian.

Notes on stuff I’ve read, recipes, prose

I have a vault for general journaling, for my pathfinder 2e campaign notes, my characters (TDE, Dnd5e, Starfinder) campaign notes, and my writing project.

So… several Vaults for different aspects.

Notes at work. Meetings, projects, one on one conversations. I also have a template for each person I’ve met that makes it easy to see where they’re located, what company and technologies they’re related to, and links to past meetings I’ve had with them. I also use it for task management.

I’ve got a couple of world building vaults kicking around.

One for a steam-punkish floating islands world and one for a pokemon-esque post-post-apocalypse world.

I wouldn’t say I have any “main thing”, it’s split fairly evenly between archiving information (recipes, articles, etc.) to have everything in one place, writing down random things to avoid forgetting them, and making kanban boards for my hobby programming projects.

I have separate vaults.

• One for academic notes

• One that serves as a “miscellaneous personal stuff” vault that helps me remember stuff, but that nobody but me would find useful unless you were stalking me or were trying to buy a gift for me. It has a page dedicated to stuff I remembered and spent an hour+ trying to find again, so that I can find it more easily in the future; a page for rating stuff I bought at the grocery store so I remember which ones I liked and which I didn’t; a page with the locations of this or that important document like my taxes; a page with the knitting patterns I’m working on and where I last left off; a page with the exact hex codes for my favorite color… stuff like that.

• One for my creative projects: Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, notes for two games I want to make but may or may not actually bother to get off the ground…

I don’t really write about anything much ATM, I’m adding stuff into my vault tho.

For the past few months I was focusing on adding (creating a note for each) movie, game, video, series, music, book, website, app I care about or might wanna check out in the future. Kinda like a huge DB. My end goal is to have EVERYTHING as .md files in a single vault.
I have almost 3k notes so far.

this is just one of many things but i like to write down game notes while i’m playing, like what i intend to do next and things i need to remember for future reference. very handy if you’re like me and juggle between games in waves, so you can always see where you left off mentally

I have a few vaults for TTRPGs. They are structured like a wiki.

My main vault contains all my personal notes on everything excluding TTRPGs.

I use Obsidian for different purposes:

• my digital garden, handled via a plugin and GitHub
• technical writing: I work as a tech writer so I use Obsidian for research and to review my writing against a number of frameworks and style guides
• create presentations: nothing spiffy, mainly using the built-in presentation functionality
• note-taking in meetings: I take notes of everything, from screenshots to screencasts to audio. Everything is searchable through the Omnisearch plugin

Rocks.
