This is the final piece of the puzzle! I have quite the meaty obsidian tutorial waiting to be published, but struggled finding a recommendation for transferring data to users that have their “knowledge vaults” collected in Notion databases without it being a substantial time commitment.

I decided early last year that the functionality of Obsidian was worthy of the data transfer from Notion (for knowledge collection only). If you’ve been around these parts, you probably know I do not stray from Notion. For purposes of storing and USING (this is the key word) my notes and knowledge archives, I do not think there is a better tool than Obsidian for many reasons that I have outlined in the tutorial.

I caught wind of this minutes ago and it must be shared! I will put it into action tomorrow and add it to the Obsidian breakdown.

Notion was a fantastic database to store my notes. I know that they are safely resting in an organized fashion. The issue I repeatedly faced was getting these notes to resurface when I needed them. And I ALWAYS need them.

To actually use and apply the things you have learned requires you to be able to recall the information and revisit your notes as much as possible. The goal is to stumble upon them from new angles. You need the ability to step back and see the bigger picture, and you must have the flexibility to jumble the pieces and find new connections.

New ideas and new discoveries are the most rewarding part of learning, and it is really hard to unearth them when they are archived in a system that may be neat and tidy, but not particularly fit for playing in.
