Your Second Brain in 10 Minutes: A Free Obsidian Starter Vault

Many people start with Obsidian and give up after the first week — the empty vault
is overwhelming, and designing your own system feels like a project of its own. That
is why the Second Brain Mini-Vault exists: a ready-made, small Obsidian
vault that is up and running in about ten minutes. It works the same in English and
German — every template ships in both languages.

What is inside:

• 3 folders: 00_Inbox, 06_Daily, 07_Templates

• 6 templates (3 EN + 3 DE): Daily-Note, Project-Note, Permanent-Note / Tagesnote, Projektnote, Permanentnote (with YAML frontmatter)

• A one-page guide: 3 rules + a 17-minute daily routine

• Minimal CSS for light & dark — no plugins required

The method in one sentence: everything lands in the inbox first. In the evening you
process it — one idea per note, link it, file it. Done.
