How to create a content calendar in Obsidian 2. Creating a content calendar in Obsidian ## Hook One of the things I missed from Notion was being able to turn a kanban board into a list and then into a calendar. My specific use case for this was a content calendar. Here's how I addressed that! ## Structure - Kanban plugin - Lists for every stage; drag and drop across stages - New note from card - Open as markdown for quick add of ideas - Add thumbnails and emojis for different channels - Templates plugin - HIVES structure - Checklist of things to do - metadata - Fantasy Calendar plugin - Not its original intent - Create new and apply Gregorian Calendar preset - Auto increment date - Create event categories - Day view on sidebar ## Outro This combination of plugins has made it so I've moved entirely to Obsidian. It's now my one-stop shop - second brain - PKM system - D&D campaign tracker - content calendar If you want to see how else I'm using Obsidian, check out this video for how I use it for work or this one for how I use it for play-- specifically, for playing D&D 3x a week. Thanks for watching, or as they say here in the Netherlands, Dank je wel!
