Obsidian is the Winamp of productivity tools.
But like Winamp, Obsidian truly shines once you dig into its extensive plugin ecosystem.
Many of these plugins are small in scope, granted, but not all of them.
Some of the extensions are extensive enough to replace entire applications you might otherwise be using.
Here’s how I used Obsidian plugins to replace four different productivity tools.
I owe it all to theObsidian Kanbanplugin.
Install it, and you’re able to create as many Kanban boards in Obsidian as you like.
That includes linksevery card can link to the pages you’re using to manage your projects.
I typically write around 20 articles a month, meaning I always have multiple projects on the go.
I use an Obsidian Kanban board to keep track of everything.
I honestly don’t know if I could manage my workflow without it.
This is just one exampleI’m sure you could think of other uses.
I used it to create something similar to a bullet-journal, with questions about my day.
If you have never found a to-do system that’s perfect for you, that’s understandable.
But if that’s you, and you’re a fan of Obsidian generally, look into thetasksplugin.
It’s a perfect add-on if you already use Obsidian to outline your projects.
The extension also allows you to add due dates, including recurring tasks, and set your priorities.
