Hi. Really commenting on your first post - where can we see the notes you are transcribing? :) And thanks subscribing to my newsletter. It is much appreciated.
Now that’s a condition I’ve never heard of. Blimey my brain is full of images, it’s like a bonkers gallery in there at times! The funny thing is though, I’ve set up Obsidian as a bullet journal. Every day it generates a new document for me and I can add tasks with dates. So I can always see what is overdue, due today, coming up etc and other free form notes too. It took me awhile admittedly to configure this but it’s been running without much adjustment for a couple of years now. I can commit my markdown files to GitHub the same as the nicklewis.blog site which is built using Astro. I’ll write about it all on Nicks Notes.
I think the last three years have changed us all. You became a parent and I became (albeit young by comparison to others) a grandparent. Working from home has enable me to find some form of fluidity between work and personal life, with a degree of transparency. My colleagues do similar things, such as taking a bike ride with their kids in the middle of the day a) to help offload some of the stresses in their work-life b) to be a parent and enjoy precious time.
In your last post you were talking about note taking tools, good to see old Onenote is still going strong. I use Obsidian nowadays and have used Notion too. However Obsidian has really made a massive difference to me. Mind you, the software shouldn't matter, it's the process that is the key and that it's rewarding along the way.
These last few years have really changed us all, you're right. I think its hardly surprising that people are assessing how loyal to be to companies when they were so quickly - and perhaps understandably - laid off at the start of the pandemic. As for the more social side of life, we all got to see and understand just how much we need the personal life we were denied in that time. With remote working, and teams across time zones, its no wonder that we want to complete the amount of work we have to do at the times we choose to do it. Hopefully this will lead to better things for organisations and individuals alike; life can be win-win rather than win-lose.
I did look at several note taking apps before going with OneNote (which is really changing now, but still has some work required). Obsidian scared me though! My mind works like a library, and not like a network. Obsidian felt like I would be following the tool, rather than the tool following me. I suspect it also has something to do with my aphantasia...
