Hi Obsidian Community!

I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can't see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes.

How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess?

Am I doing LATCH wrong?

Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets?

Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works?

Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!

Hello Obsidian Community, I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter:

Background

In my daily notes I use a comment block after Yaml, in which I link to yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's daily notes. The daily note links to itself, because all my notes are linked to the daily note of the day on which they were created and it just stuck, when I edited my default template to create a daily note template.

Issue

Sometimes I create a daily note for a specific day a couple days later, and thus my memory is not as good as on the evening of the day in question.

Proposal

Now I figured that it might be sensible to record that information by linking daily notes not necessarily to themselves via the today key, but to the daily note of the day, when I actually did write down what happened on that day.

What is your opinion on that? Any real benefit here? Would that be worse? Do you have any other input?

Interested to hear your thoughts!

Recently got a Galaxy 4 smart watch gifted, but I am continuously getting barraged with (repeated) permission requests and hit with restrictions on features due to not granting certain permissions.

Is there an alternative that fulfills the following requirements:

• respects my privacy by both, not storing my data on their servers and not selling my data, both health and identity data.
• works with Android, i.e. Is not restricted in use by using Android as the Galaxy 4 apparently is.

I mainly want to use the watch to track sport sessions, basically just for running.

Are there any tips on how to keep my peace of mind when dealing with smart watches? Things to keep in mind, etc?

Thanks in advance!

I am considering turning this into a monthly open chat, what are your thoughts? Is there any specific type of content, which you would like to see here?

Transcendental Meditation is a secretive mantra meditation movement founded by an indian yogi/guru. Most research on meditation benefits is on TM. To learn it, one has to pay for and participate in a course led by a certified TM teacher.

Does anybody here have had experience with TM, participated in a course and received a mantra chosen by their teacher?

Do you really need a teacher to learn it? Is the course worth it or just profiteering? Anything else one should know before going to a course themselves?

Hi c/Running,

I would like some advice on how to overcome/circumvent asthma-induced pain, while running.

I'm an avid runner, but I struggle with asthma for which I do take well-adjusted medication. I have difficulty running more than a couple minutes at a time. Whenever I start running, my lungs quickly begin to hurt (it's not my sides, my muscles could do so much more, but it's actually my lungs hurting), the pain becoming so bad, that I have to pause for more than five minutes after just two, three minutes of running. It takes between 20 to 30 minutes of this stop-and-go to finally "acclimate" myself enough to be able to run normally. As you can imagine, this can get very annoying and frustrating and makes running with a group nearly impossible.

On a side-note: When I am running outside, I experience this no matter which season it is or where I am running (forest, urban, field), but when I am running on a treadmill at the gym, I usually don't experience it so severely. Maybe something with the AC?

1. Do You have similar experiences and can You share what helped you?

2. What can I do to reduce the time it takes me to start-up?

3. What can I do to have no/less asthma-induced pain, when starting to run?

4. What kind of training schedule would you recommend for people with asthma? Are normal training schedules just stretched out regarding the increases in intensity over time or do I need a completely different approach?

Thank You for any advice on the matter!

When reinventing the wheel and coming up with a new clever way to structure notes or new info to add to the YAML, how do you treat your old notes?

Do you go back and apply the new format or do you just leave them as is only looking forward?

If you revisit old notes, do you have a strategy?

I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
