Cannot edit the downloaded Evergreen Vault
Hi, what am I missing that I can't edit any notes, nor today's daily note in the vault?

@Dee Construct you are right - rookie mistake even though I have been using Obsidian for some years. I played with that setting but then it moved to Source Mode so switched that off also :)

Hi @Dee Construct how can I stop a note from either opening in Read or Source mode? For example, whenever I open the Daily Note it opens in Read mode. Too many clicks before I can start typing lol
Start here: introduce yourself
Welcome to The Construct. This is a small group of people who look at Obsidian the same way: not as a note app, but as the place your whole life runs from. Work, studies, health, admin, a business, all of it in one system that makes things simpler instead of adding another thing to manage. If that's how you think, you're among your people. Most of the world doesn't get it. Everyone here does. I built this place because a vault is the starting point, not the finish line. The real system gets built over months, adjusted to your actual life, and that goes faster when other people are building next to you. One note about communities like this: the value isn't in the content, it's in the people. Everyone who's ever got something out of a group like this posted. Nobody who only read did. Reading gets you nothing here. So the first thing to do is say hello. Copy this, fill it in, post it as a comment: Hi, I'm [name] from [city]. I do [what you do]. I've been in Obsidian for [how long]. I want my system to run [work / studies / a business / everything]. The thing that frustrates me right now is [one thing]. When you do, three things happen: I reply to you personally, I unlock the free Obsidian + Claude Basics course for you, and the next person who joins reads yours and posts too. How this place works: - Stuck on anything? Post it in Help. No question is too basic. - Built something? Post it in Showcase. Screenshots looks prettier than descriptions. - Own the Evergreen Vault? You're a Builder: the Builder Kit and the live call every two weeks are yours. Your turn.

Hi, I'm Tony from near London in the UK. I work full time for a SaaS business and run a busy personal life which includes entrepreneur activities. I've been in Obsidian for four years (times flies) but never had a structure. I have been adding notes, connecting them as needed, and searched for what I stored and checked connections as and when. I manage many projects in my life, and been searching how Obsidian could help, Then I discovered Dee and the Evergreen vault hits home! The thing that 'frustrates' me right now is being able to see my project schedule visually by current and future months/quarters: just the name of the project and then visually see which month/quarter it is due in. Great to be here!

@Dee Construct I just discovered this plugin. Looks like what I have been looking for. Will play around with it this weekend. https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/kanban-action-planner
Daily logging
Hey everyone, I just wanted to chat about daily logging. I don't know if I'm over logging or under logging, I know all this is subjective. Do you log everything you do all day long? Like 'Coffee with a friend and we chatted about whatever' even though it's not something that would be relevant years from now? Yesterday I had a friend visiting me here in Thailand, and he wanted to hire a scooter so we went around and found a shop. I logged it, but this one could be valid because I might want to know what shop it was one day .. But if something is not relevant years from now, would you log it just for the sake of the weekly roll up, giving you a good idea of what you did that week? What about routine things like let's say you go for a morning walk always at the same place. Would you bother logging it every day? I understand you could log a gym session every day and just note what you worked on though.. What if you just have very quiet routine days for a couple of days? What's there to log? Keen to hear how you all use the logs..

I would log it if it is relevant for you how much or often you connect socially. For me personally I would log it because I know I need to connect more with friends socially so logging it allows me to track the trend or habit.
