I had a good session with bases reorganising my vault and its going to be such a game changer.

I work in construction and my main flow has it using daily notes for general info.
It will be easier for me to create table on things such as trades, procurement, design changes etc.

So so so good.

Still alot of adjustments to my vault i need to do, but i have my general structure for the next 6 months or so...
Need to craft an effective implementation of templates etc

Flow 2024 to June 2025:
- Daily notes for general site info
- no tags used in vault
- tasks used haphazardly
- project specfic folders
	- Archetectual/service plans (revit pdfs) loaded into each project specific folder (open only on phone as pdfs would often crash obsdian on comp)

Current flow: (June vault refresh + next few months) (the structure of my vault has slowly taken shape over the past 6 months(im a slow learner))
- removed all archetectural plan pdfs (will use bluebeam pdf viewer until i figure out a good process)
- Daily note for general site info - start inputting more tags 
- daily note tasks - find a way to use more effectivly
- bases to view and update all past years daily notes with tags added
- tag updates:
	- Project tags (each site i work on, usual 2 to three months per project)
	- Systems (notes on my processes and flows)
		- RFIs
		- site instructions
		- council inspections
		- engineer approval processes/communication frameworks
		- internal communitation flows with PMs, designers etc
		- external comms templates
		- BPMN list of different process patterns for all of the above
	- Materials/specifations - start a base keeping a record of materials/equipment used by trades on site etc (ie sliding door spec, door handel spec) (This will only be on things i need to focus on, not everything on site)
	- Trades - build info out on trades - who we use and what they do

Future flows/wishlist:
- A really flexable gantt chart that can work well with tasks/calendar/kanbans etc
- BPMN plugin that integrates tasks in some way (pipedream, but hey)
- a powerful updated tasks plugin (not sure how and why, but idk) 
- multiplayer mode (system3) This looks epic
	- i have obsidian that installed on my work comp, i would like to store all my systems/proceses in my personal vault, and draw them into my work vault. This way, my ip remains mine if i get rugged by job ( ot that they know what obsidian is)
- android widget where i can quick note into a daily note
- some form of xmtp integration. Not sure how yet, but i feel like there is an opportunity there for vault to vault messaging (probably stupid idea)

That's so interesting! I'd love too hear more about your flow!
