Your First Notes

Module 1 · Section 5 of 5

Your First Notes

Create three notes and link them together. This is how Obsidian starts building its graph of your knowledge.

Create a project note: 02 Projects/Launch newsletter. Write a sentence about what it is. Then add a wikilink: [[Newsletter content ideas]]. That link creates a new note when you click it.

Create that second note. Add a line back: Part of [[Launch newsletter]]. Now you have two notes that know about each other.

Create a third in your Resources folder: 04 Resources/Writing tips. Link to it from the newsletter note: For writing style, see [[Writing tips]].

Three notes, three links. You’ve just built a tiny knowledge graph. Over months, this becomes something genuinely useful — a map of how your thinking connects.

Before moving on:

• Obsidian installed and open
• Vault created with five PARA folders
• Three notes created with links between them

That’s the foundation. Everything else builds on top of this.
