Stop taking notes like everyone else
My Real Zettelkasten Workflow in Obsidian Canvas
Hey deep thinker,
In today’s note-making deep dive, I’m tracing a moment that started in prayer over my daughter — and how one familiar verse opened up a whole web of insight.
What began as a reflection on Psalm 139 turned into a multi-layered journey through worship, identity, and how God uniquely forms each of us. Along the way, I followed the breadcrumbs, asked deeper questions, and let curiosity lead the way.
In the video, you’ll see:
how I use aliases to make ideas more searchable
how I link notes to build secret rooms in my Idea Mansion
and how I map out connected thoughts in Obsidian Canvas using a Zettelkasten-inspired flow
If you love mixing Scripture, meaning-making, and a little bit of nerdy structure, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
Let’s go exploring.

If you're new to the Idea Mansion concept…
It's the metaphor I use for my note-making world. Notes are rooms. Canvases are floor plans. Links are hidden doors. And every idea has a place to grow.
