You are very good at teaching statistics. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am 24 yo and I am studying a finance degree. I am really interested in statistics, ¿can you give me some advice to be very good at it? Also want to do a ms in stats, its difficult with a finance degree to get in to a good ms? Thank you
Good stuff. I have a masters in statistics and am starting my PhD in the fall. I've implemented a second system for roughly five years now. I've experimented with a few apps. Care to share some details about your system and what worked well for your PhD?
Yeah, more than happy to share the key elements of what worked for me. I happen to put my system in Obsidian.
After working with it for a while and experimenting with systems, I've come into one that emphasizes simplicity. I keep most of my notes in a single directory, and I have a home page that shows current projects. I used to have lots of directories for each project, but I ended up not liking this. Obsidian supports hierarchical tags ("#project/project-1"), so I use this to help put related notes together.
One thing that really helped me specifically as a PhD was keeping another directory for notes on reference material like books and papers. It really helps you keep track of stuff you've read for lit review and for concepts/theorems that appear in textbooks. Before Obsidian, I felt I was always forgetting where certain facts came from.
Finally, I'd recommend taking advantage of template notes. If you find yourself structuring knowledge in a specific way, it can help make your notes more uniform to turn this structure into a template. For example, I use a specific template when I read manuscripts, and I use another when writing a video script. It's helped me systematize learning and develop an approach for more quickly picking up new material
That's cool. I haven't tried obsidian yet as I valued quick notes on my phone and easy sync features. I've used OneNote for years but recently switched to UpNote because OneNote's sync was buggy. I've dabbled in Notion, but it isn't practical for quick notes. I would strongly recommend Readwise if you don't use it already.
one of the major pulls of obsidian is all your notes are markdown files you can open using anything. you're not locked into an app. it's also just a convenient way to navigate your local directories w/ tags and links if you include them all in your obsidian vault. plus you can put it all on a cloud server if you want syncing
eh I don't use it on mobile so can't really comment, I've heard it's pretty good tho. most of my notes are in icloud drive and it syncs nicely - obsidian also offers syncing separately that i believe you have to pay for. I also used notion for ages before but left once I discovered obsidian lol

Hey, congrats on the PhD admission and good luck!

Is obsidian good for quick notes, seemless syncing, mobile use?
