Tips for taking notes. Deep dives on obscure infrastructure, color theory, and language acquisition. Lessons from history to help everyone feel a bit better about now.
I struggle between using Obsidan for all my note-taking, and switching to using a Field Notes -style ntoebook for daily notes, then compiling to a commonplace book or index cards similiar to Ryan Holiday's system. I love the feel of pen and paper but end up going back to Obsidian for efficiency. But maybe efficency isn't the ultimate goal? Anyone else struggle between digital and analog? Is there a happy medium?
I for one enjoy and appreciate your "linksposts". Thanks for sharing

I use a balance, tell you what, I'll write up an article about this and try to ship it next week. I think they're good at different things.
