Did you know you can create a visual map of content in Obsidian to consolidate your notes? The Excalidraw plugin by Zsolt Viczian can be used to create a dashboard in Obsidian, take sketchnotes instead of text notes, express your ideas visually, and many more. Maps of content are useful for bottomup thinking, and having a visual representation of your notes can inspire you to consider other perspectives or communicate your ideas in a clearer way.
