The thing I love most about Obsidian is the space and the tools it gives me to freely play and experiment with knowledge management.

While I’m interested in what other Obsidianites get up to, I no longer feel pressure to copy anyone else’s methods. I’m quite content to keep things simple.

The last time I wrote about how I moved my daily notes to a weekly log, I talked about why I made the switch:

• Some days I’d write a little, other days a lot, and occasionally, not at all.
• I felt uncomfortably like I should write every day, even when I didn’t want to .
• It was a giant pain to wade back through hundreds of daily notes looking for things I’d written that search terms didn’t seem to be surfacing.
