Maybe if I switch from Notion to Obsidian for my personal note taking and journaling, I’ll finally be able to find happiness and enjoy an evening to myself.

What is Faraway, So Close (Yet So Far)?
The audio version of the blog posts located on ChrisEnns.com.
Chris: How I use fiddling with
my tools to avoid doing the work.
It's a tale as old as tools question mark?
Maybe if I switch from notion to
obsidian from my personal note taking
and journaling, I'll finally be able to
write more on my iPhone when I'm
not at my desk because the Obsidian
app is much quicker and stays outta
my way compared to Notion on iOS.
Enjoy writing quicker, shorter thoughts
down that don't have to be categorized,
data based or have nice icons and header
images, though I was just distracted
by add file property in Obsidian menu.
Have to add that to, uh, things I
need to learn about Obsidian note,
is that a thing I just created?
Be able to find things I've written
in the past without getting distracted
by all the other things I've half
started that appear in a database.
Not worry about how to manage images
in a blog post draft in Obsidian.
Which is another thing I'll
need to add to the things I need
to learn about Obsidian List.
Oh, that's cool.
It pops up there automatically when
I tap the double brackets button.
That's great that I can tag a page
to be created in the future, but
that doesn't bring over that sentence
for me, so the to-do isn't actually
gonna be on that page somehow, is it?
Write something here and automatically
have it go to my Ghost CMS based blog.
That'd be cool.
Oops.
That's another thing to add to the things
I need to learn about Obsidian List.
Originally I was gonna write one serious
item about switching apps, and then I was
gonna fill up the page with things that
switching to Obsidian wouldn't actually
solve as a way of deflecting from the
real struggle of just sitting down to
write, while also oversharing about
myself in a way that will somehow fix
all those things automatically somehow.
What I should do is start a new
document where I list all the things
I want to overshare about instead
of go to see a therapist about.
Oh, but what about tags?
That's one more thing to go on the things
I need to learn about Obsidian list.
And I see I can't just copy and
paste from Ghost into Obsidian on
my Mac without getting rid of some
of the formatting used by Obsidian.
Oh, well.
Good first test.
