[0:00] - Intro
[00:05] - Can you share thoughts on the prefixes?
[01:14] - I already have the LYT kit. Nick mentioned the LYT kit would add to the IMF. How do the two kits interact?
[02:18] - How do you use your calendar
in obsidian?
[03:07] - If you dont use folders, how do you search for them in a giant pool of singular notes to link in MOC?
[04:16] - Do you find useful to use tags such as idea, concept, book tags that define what the note represents?
[05:08] - What are the advantages of using a home link?
[06:52] - Is linking your thinking the complete opposite of progressive summarization?
[08:50] - I am new to PKM. Would LYT be appropriate for things like reference material, work projects, people management, or only knowledge notes?
[10:33] - How atomic should notes be?
