#ObsidianMD

Unlike most people, I'm incredibly unsentimental about my notes. So, when @Daojoan wrote that she deleted her second brain I nodded in understanding. I used to do just that with my worklogs.

A second brain isn't a shrine. It's just a utility. A tool. I don't even think my thoughts are especially, well, noteworthy.

If you want to delete a second brain and start anew, you totally can!

As mentioned, I've started to use #ObsidianMD again. It's been about a week. I'm not committing to making daily notes, but when I feel like it, I'll do morning pages, and then I work on some other long form notes little by little, like things I know I enjoy and how they make me feel. A lot has changed since I started using the tool in 2020. People have designed new systems, like PARA, there is a nice UI for properties that makes it a lot easier for someone like me without much YAML knowledge to utilize, as well as a canvasses feature that supports live browser windows. I haven't figured out what I want to use it for yet, but for now, I put some clocks: the witch clock by @garbados and the neralie clock from @neauoire. 🧙‍♀️ clock.bovid.space/ 🔘 wiki.xxiivv.com/site/neralie.h

Finding the #linter community plug-in useful for auto adding date created and date added times, but there still is not a way to get those dates to backlink yet forum.obsidian.md/t/backlink-i I also use this templater plug in to let me set a template specific to morning pages and automatically file them away into a morning pages folder. share.note.sx/2rskmna5 The goal is to spend as little time on trying to tinker with the system and more time just expressing myself.

Is it cocky for me to start a new Obsidian vault after using Obsidian on and off for 4 years? Tempted to get sync too. At the end of the day, it's a note-taking tool. Something to never forget. Interested in developing a system that only needs to last me a year or two, not forever, and encompasses me as a person, rather than a student.

#obsidian #obsidianMd is mentioned relatively often for #ttrpg campaign notes.
Have any of you done that with #logseq? What are your experiences? (in comparison or separately)

It seems to me that the different structure offers advantages and disadvantages in comparison, but logseq could work well for my application (many, but not very extensive notes, which I record wildly distributed as thoughts; and probably no need for special plugins)
