I Resisted Obsidian but Can’t Live Without It Now
Use this application to improve your writing efforts
During a recent file clean-up, I sorted, combined, and deleted hundreds of files.
As I stared at what remained, I felt no inspiration to create.
Worse, I had little faith in the system I’d perfected. The files were tucked away, but everything I’d just organized was static.
My brain dump had become a landfill.
What I craved was a repository… A single place to capture notes, musings, drafts, and reference material.
Enter Obsidian.
I’d tried using this application before. Three times, actually. And every time, I’d stare at the blank vault and decide it was too much.
But this time around, I didn’t just reinstall the app. I watched a few videos highlighting its features. Seeing the tool in action gave me the courage to dive in.
As I poured my info into Obsidian, I was freed by the realization it didn’t matter how I went about doing things. I just had to ensure whatever system I created would let me capture and retrieve my files as needed.
Take folder structure, for example. You can leave all your files in the root directory or set up as many folders…
