I don’t have any clients today, but I’ve decided not to write scripts or edit videos. I am putting my energy into unraveling the mess I created after simultaneously using Evernote and Obsidian for a while now. Both have strengths and weaknesses, so my goal is to figure out what to use each one for.
There are things I can easily piece together. For example, I love how Evernote handles tasks, and I find the Obsidian Tasks plugin overwhelming. The same is true for the calendar. Evernote does a much better job of bundling it with our notes. At least, in my opinion.
But Obsidian is so well integrated into our computer file system, and I love to use that when creating my Unexpected Workflows.
Roughly speaking, the plan is to keep tasks and business-related content in Evernote. Especially meetings with clients and companies I collaborate with. As for Obsidian, it will still house my Knowledge Base, as it deals much better with PDFs, blog posts, and files I’m currently using (or used) for my books, courses and video production.
I am also trying to keep the minimum number of plugins possible, having already removed many of them. That includes—don’t panic!—Davaview.
As for my personal documents, that’s still undecided.
And while testing all the ideas above, I’m experimenting with posting without using titles. After making so many posts today, I am looking at it as a far better formatting style for the blog, as well as a much cleaner way to cross-post to other social media platforms.
