Kevin T'SyenのObsidianのvaultデザイン

00. Inbox

A scratchpad for quick notes, ideas, or links. I dump things here and sort them later.

01. Daily Notes

One note per day. I use it to log what I’m working on, track tasks, and reflect on progress. Sometimes it’s a journal, sometimes a todo list.

02. Projects

Each project has its own folder with meeting notes, todos, planning, and references.

03. Code Snippets

My personal library of code tricks, reusable functions, terminal commands, and Stack Overflow-worthy one-liners.

E.g.: a small function to convert a value to a Boolean in python.

04. Architecture & Design

Notes about software architecture, system diagrams, decisions, and patterns. It helps me track technical reasoning over time.

05. Learnings

Lessons from books, courses, articles, and hands-on experience. This is where I review and summarize key takeaways.

E.g.: I recently had to onboard myself into learning Kotlin & Compose for Android.

Excalidraw

I use the Excalidraw plugin for drawing diagrams, mind maps, and system flows directly inside Obsidian.

The schema from above is acutally done via Excalidraw and embedded within the notes. I can just open de schema by clicking on it in the note itself.

Files

Storage for PDFs, images, and other files referenced in my notes.

Templates

Reusable note formats for daily logs, project kickoffs, retrospectives, and more. This keeps things consistent and fast to start.
