      • Start LifeOS in 10 Minutes

      If you are new to LifeOS, do not start by configuring everything from scratch. Open the prepared example vault first, follow the 4 steps below, and learn the workflow by seeing it work.

      This example vault uses the basic LifeOS plugin and is meant for practicing the record, theme, and task workflow in Obsidian.

      Step 1: Download the Example Vault

      Download the basic example vault:

      After unzipping it, open the actual vault folder. It is usually named obsidian-example-lifeos-main, and it should contain the .obsidian settings folder.

      Step 2: Open It in Obsidian

      1. Open Obsidian.
      2. Choose "Open folder as vault".
      3. Select the extracted obsidian-example-lifeos-main folder.
      4. If Obsidian asks whether you trust the vault, confirm the source before enabling community plugins.

      If you are unsure which folder to select, see Download Vault.

      Step 3: Practice 3 Actions First

      Do not read every concept before trying the workflow. Do these 3 actions first:

      1. Open today's daily note and write one record.
      2. Open or create a project / theme note and see how related tasks are collected.
      3. Open the task or index view and confirm that the task can be retrieved.

      Once these work, you have understood the core LifeOS loop: capture -> connect to a theme -> review and move forward.

      Step 4: Choose Your Next Step

      Practicing with the example vault first is more reliable than configuring your own vault on day one. Move your real notes only after each module makes sense.
