Trying obsidian for note taking and organizing myself
After seeing some memes and posts about Obsidian on Twitter from TPOT folks, I decided to give it a try. I've always been a Markdown person, and there's something comforting about writing in plain text, knowing my notes will be readable decades from now. A few weeks in, and I'm genuinely enjoying it.
I had stopped journaling for a while. But there's something about Obsidian that made me want to write again. Maybe it's how natural it feels to link thoughts together, or maybe it's just the clean interface. Either way, I'm back to keeping daily notes, and it feels good.
