i saw you made a post about using obsidian! it seems like a very powerful tool.

i want to start taking notes to keep track of things, and i want to improve my writing. what do you write about in your notes?

the problem with obsidian is it can be anything.

some people people take a more Getting Things Done (GTD) approach, or zettelkansen approach, but mine is just to have notes about things that I go back to and build upon, and any time some page gets too big I comb through it, separate things into their own pages, and then [[wiki link]] to them and build a surfable lazy-not-quite-wiki, with pages I update as I learn new things about them.

while I'm not as pretentious as to label this anything but 'going back to my notes', most resources on this style will be under the keyword evergreen notes if you want to learn more about other people doing it

But obsidian can twist itself to fit any given notetaking strategy, and moving yours to another type is easy enough, you just get new plugins and change some of your headers, in many cases.

so it's more about making obsidian fit what's best for you, and knowing where things can change if you want them to. Your goal is externalizing your memory to paper, so you can use the resources you would for active memorykeeping and recall for other things. Or as quick reference. But memory is fallable, computers are less so.

one of my favorite takes on this is: (warning: computer-toucher tier)

It's not a disorganized mess, it's just its own kind of weird organization (i also omitted the second screen but that's because it's empty of icons)

My desktop is nice and cozily cluttered, just like my living space. I know where everything is if I need it!

@blazehedgehog

Fortunately I cleaned it up a couple weeks ago so it hasn't grown insanely cluttered again yet, just slightly cluttered

Unless you count the SEVEN Firefox windows I have open. But its fine. Don't worry about it

My desktop has been on defaults since the last time I reinstalled windows, but here's what I had cycling on it last: A bunch of wallpaper-cut versions of Destiny and Destiny 2 emblem art.

It's blurry because it's actually a 3840 desktop but I took a screencap at 1920 over Moonlight...
