6 Beginner Pain Points in Obsidian

1

Markdown Overload

Many new users feel overwhelmed by syntax. It's not hard, but it takes a bit of guided practice.

2

Attachment Chaos

By default, Obsidian dumps images in the root folder. The result? A messy vault where notes are buried under image files.

3

Plugin Paralysis

Obsidian's strength is its plugin ecosystem, but the sheer number can paralyze beginners. Everyone's vault starts to look like a developer's playground instead of a knowledge base.

4

Syncing Confusion

I've lost count of how many times I've been asked: "How can I sync Obsidian for free?" The answer is simple, but often overlooked.

5

Perfection Trap

Seeing other people's beautifully crafted vaults can be demotivating. Don't fall into the trap of building a perfect system before you even take a note.

6

Setup Fatigue

Customization is powerful, but only if you're not already exhausted before you start.

My 5 Golden Rules for Beginners

1.
Start simple. Don't chase perfection. Capture your thoughts first.
2.
Delay plugin exploration. You don't need 20 plugins to take smart notes.
3.
Learn basic Markdown. Just the essentials. It pays off.
4.
Use simple sync. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive—pick one. Done.
5.
Understand Obsidian's core purpose. It's not a team tool. It's your second brain—a space for thinking, not collaborating with team.
