Welcome to part three of a four-part series where I share with you how I use Obsidian as a creative.
It's an extensive look at how my Obsidian vault is setup and how I use it to store my thoughts, learnings, and ideas.
Today we're going to talk about the following two directories: Literature + Evergreen.
02-literature
The Literature directory contains notes for all the content I consume and learn from. This includes articles, books, videos, courses, and even social media posts.
Naming Format
I start each note with the content type:
- {a} - article
- {b} - book
- {v} - video
Then I simply include the name of the book, article, or video.
Labels
The labels I use depend on the type of content:
- #literature/article - article
- #literature/book - book
- #literature/video - video
Literature Note Templates
The template I use will vary depending on the type of content:
Article Template
This is for notes based on the articles I read.
I clip articles from the web into a Notion DB. You can check out my Notion Library Tour to see how I capture this content.
Once I've read an article and taken rough notes, I create an Article note in Obsidian and refine my notes.

Book Template
This is for notes based on the books I read. Similar to Article notes, Book notes start life in Notion and are then refined in Obsidian.
I publish the book notes I create here on my website as well as add them to my Knowledge Vault of Digital Notes.

03-evergreen
The Evergreen directory contains all my evergreen notes.
There are lots of definitions of evergreen notes but for me, these are atomic ideas or concepts that I find useful, I learn something from, and are interesting to me.
Naming Format
There is no naming convention for these types of notes, I just try to make sure they are understandable out of context as they should stand on their own.
Labels
These types of notes are labeled: #evergreen.
Evergreen Note Template
This is a simple template with the tags, topics, note content itself, then the source at the bottom of the note.
Tags: #evergreen

That's it for this part of the series. The next post will be released next Monday.
