How many Obsidian Vaults do I need?

One Obsidian Vault to rule them all! Or maybe not?

One of the things I definitely love about Obsidian is its great flexibility. Its configuration options allow me to optimize it just right for my needs and preferences….

I’ve been an avid Obsidian user for about two years for all the knowledge management that passes through my hands, and if you’ve used it as much as me (or more than me ), you’ll agree that the gods at Obsidian thought this product through very well, as once installed and with your first vault created, it is incredibly easy, fast to use, and frictionless; it’s a true plug and play.

From this point on it is very easy to get hooked on the tool and start filling it with information, customizing it, optimizing your workflow, making templates and testing your own and the community’s plugins. If you like this kind of activities and customizations, I guarantee you will enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

This is how I started my first vault, the same one I keep today, and which is my main vault, and I say main because at some point from those first steps until today I started to create other vaults that would allow me to better segment and manage the information. But why, why segment the information in different vaults, is it for a performance issue, is it…
