Using Obsidian for academic writing

In this conversation with David Nicholls, I describe how I use Obsidian to support my academic writing and creative process, in response to Dave’s question: Is the effort you need to put into Obsidian worth it?

I explain how I’ve set up different vaults in Obsidian, depending on what it is that I’m trying to do, and use examples from my own practice to show why I think Obsidian deserves all the hype. I’m not sure if I convince Dave that the benefits of using Obsidian for academic writing are worth the cost in terms of the time you need to invest, but it’s a conversation that I enjoyed nonetheless.

If you’d like to improve your academic writing and productivity more generally but sometimes feel like the administrative demands of higher education make it difficult, you may want to check out my Calm Productivity courses.
