I’m currently seriously considering moving from Notion to Obsidian.
More and more of my work is becoming file-based now that I’m building a local AI OS in VS Code.
For writing articles, posts, ideas and documentation, Obsidian feels like a more logical fit.
The part I’m still figuring out is project management.
Right now, Notion is still the place where I manage projects, tasks, ideas and longer-term planning. That works, but I also know how easy it is to build a system that becomes too big, too flexible and eventually too messy.
I don’t want to recreate the same thing in Obsidian.
So I’m curious for the people who already use Obsidian seriously:
👉 How have you set up Obsidian so it also works for project management?
👉 Do you use folders, tags, links, daily notes, dashboards, Kanban, tasks, Dataview, or something else?
And maybe even more important:
What would you keep very simple if you had to set it up again from scratch?
