Figuring out how to use Obsidian to thoroughly organize the notes that I take and never ever use. My ADHD really needs to hand over the reins of my brain to my autism. It's a much nicer and gentler side of my personality.

I started using it about a year ago and now idk what I would do without it tbh. It’s great to have all information I want to keep somewhere accessible. Like a personal Wikipedia

Whenever I google tips/ideas about using it though it’s mostly quite annoying people that use it haha (like weird tech bros). Still a wicked useful tool though

Goddamn yes, it's like there's two types of people who make videos on Obsidian: it's either productivity freaks who put me off or programmers who are way more tech-savvy than me. I've spent the past few days doing a bit of a back and forth with Deepseek to filter out all the noise and redundancy of having fifteen different 30-minute videos talking about the same thing. It's just too much information, and lots of it extremely complex and daunting to a newcomer like me. But yeah, Obsidian seems like it's worth all the trouble I'm going through to figure out my workflow with it.
