        'makefunstuff/sketchbook.nvim',
        lazy = false,
        config = function()
            require('sketchbook').setup({
                notes_directory = "~/my_notes/",
                templates_directory = "~/my_notes/templates/",
                keymaps = {
                    create_note = "<leader>nc",
                    update_index = "<leader>ni",
