Creating a content calendar in Obsidian
Obsidian is a great tool to use as a second brain or Zettelkasten, but it's not great if you want to manage tasks or create a content calendar... or is it? Turns out, there's a combination of free plugins that turn it into a very capable calendar for scheduling content and other tasks. Here's how I'm using it to keep track of everything I want to create.
Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
0:56 Board and markdown view with Kanban plugin
4:09 Production checklists with the Templates core plugin
6:54 Emoji Toolbar plugin
7:57 Scheduling content using the Fantasy Calendar plugin
Obsidian plugins are easiest to install through Obsidian itself, but here are the GitHub repos of the ones I mentioned if you'd like to see or fork the source code:
Kanban plugin: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-...
Fantasy Calendar plugin: https://github.com/valentine195/obsid...
Emoji Toolbar plugin: https://github.com/oliveryh/obsidian-...
