Trackpad on the left of my keyboard, mouse on the right. BTW I'm using Obsidian almost daily for close to a year and still trying to learn to love it. What's one thing that makes it essential for you?
I love Obsidian because it makes me think. I love journaling, curating and later connecting ideas. I like how versatile it is, as it fits the way I think; letting ideas fire and flow naturally.
What's one feature beyond holding a bunch of md files that adds significant value for you? Obsidian for me is probably like owning a full set of power tools and all I'm using is the 20v drill to stir peanut butter.
I mean, I would still love to have a beautiful, well designed and well furnished kitchen, even if I only ever boiled eggs and used 20% of it. There is something about enjoying well crafted software. In the case of Obsidian, it's a place to think and connect, and you don't need 70 tools for that. To answer more seriously, I do use Obsidian quite extensively actually (not everything, but some things quite a lot): - **Bases**. I use it extensively to navigate my data through different lenses. I like it a lote more than Notion's databases because it's so versatile! - Templates. - Linking/Backlinking (also tags, but i don't use them anymore) - Periodic notes, for my daily journaling/thinking - And more than anything: the fact that at the end of the day it's just markdown files that I 100% own and with which I can do anything I want, including back up with git + see file history "for free", sync with any provider, have AI work on with me (though i generally don't), I am someone who loves to curate, to keep lists of books I read, games I play, places I have been to. I learned not to trust my memory, so I always end up surprised to find back some info I had saved few months/years ago and had forgotten about 😂. Here you will find a couple of ways in which I use the bases particularly, saving all the restaurants I visited, documenting games I have played, books by author and other usecases. So all in all, I use Obisidan in a myriad of ways, but more than any specific feature or tool, I just love having it as a safe place to explore stuff.
