I’m trying out Obsidian and getting back into Mark Forster’s task management explorations, specifically “Final Version Perfected.” I’ve used that method off-and-on and I think it works well as long as I can stick to it. I’m also hoping that regular note-taking will help me put together more blog posts. I’ve had plenty of ideas float by, but if I don’t capture them somewhere, they’re not likely to crystalize into a blog post.
