Hello,

I’m looking for a better way to track my goals and keep them easily accessible.

I initially thought about using my note-taking app (Obsidian) with periodic notes (weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly). However, this approach doesn’t really work for me because it prevents me from having a clear overview of all my yearly (or longer-term) goals.

At the same time, it also forces me to rewrite the same goals multiple times across different periodic notes (weekly/monthly/etc.), which feels redundant and hard to maintain.

Has anyone found a good system to solve this kind of problem while keeping it very simple ? I'm not interested in writing my goals in any goal tracking dedicated app.

Thank you for reading.

Hello, I’m using Obsidian as my note taking app and was wondering if there is way to get all my files (.md) containing a specific keyword efficiently ?

I already thought about : get all files -> repeat for each element -> if file contains <keyword> then add to a list. However, this method seems inefficient, especially if I have thousands of notes.

Thank you for reading.

I’m curious how people here handle the split between Obsidian and a dedicated task manager.

Right now I use Things 3 + Obsidian:

• Obsidian for project notes, brainstorming, documentation, references, etc.
• Things 3 for the actual projects/tasks, deadlines, scheduling, next actions, reminders, etc.

The problem is that it creates a separation:

• the “thinking” about the project lives in Obsidian
• the “execution” of the project lives in Things

So sometimes I feel like my projects are fragmented across two systems.

I know some people go all-in on Obsidian with plugins but it doesn’t seem smooth enough to me. I’d love to know:

• how do you structure this?
• do you link your task manager and Obsidian somehow?
• do you keep projects only in one app?
• what workflow ended up feeling the most natural long term?
