My notes were stored absolutely everywhere and in a mess:
- in the notes app on my phone
- in Telegram
- in Notion
- in Google Drive
😩 I felt discomfort: I couldn’t find what I needed right now. Even though I supposedly took notes and created folders for areas of my life.
❓ My point A: I wanted a particular knowledge system that would make my life simpler — so I’d always have at hand the information I’m about to use.
Meeting Obsidian
I saw Obsidian and the "Second brain" concept:
- Is this just a marketing gimmick?
- What second brain?
- I’d like to get the first one in order first
But as I studied the program and its plugins, I understood why it’s called that and how it really solves my problems.
The graph view itself reminds me of the neural networks in our heads.
Keep going?
