Discovering obsidian has been a blessing for my sanity and made me less lazy for taking notes.

Plus I can use latex to transform md into docx and there's decent pdf support so I don't need to play with the circus of WYSIWYG pain that's MS Word.

    I keep meaning to check out Obsidian, but I'm like you said, lazy.

    I have obsidian installed, but I haven't really looked into how to use it. It has been on my list of things I should probably learn for a long time now

    I am probably just an idiot but i find writing proper notes with links etc very tedious, in obsidian.

    So i end uo just typing everything into a few documents based on the doc title. Which means i might as well just use notepad

    I was using MarkText and a fairly structured set of directories. I switched to Bookstack which allows me to do essentially the same thing but with a web interface and the ability to share with even using RBAC. It doesn't do the cool linking stuff though.

    Change Obsidian to Zettlr.

    I think the use cases are different, as Zettlr seems like a pure publication tool but Obsidian (at least originally) was more of a personal note organizer that grew due to having community plugins.

    I do agree though that Zettlr is a better publication tool, though I wouldn't change Obsidian for it as a personal organizer/kb.

    Obsidian is what I used to keep my notes while playing Book of Hours. It was a fantastic tool and I'll definitely use it in the future!

    How's the Book of Hours? I played a good deal of Cultist Simulator, but it tends to suck me in and I recover few hours later without an understanding what just happened.

    I finished my playthrough a couple days ago, after 80 hours. It's much more forgiving than CS -- there's no lose condition, as far as I can tell. There's also a shitload more to keep track of, hence me using Obsidian. I personally found the experience of tracking [what books give what resource] and [what resources make what crafting recipes] to be extremely satisfying, but your mileage may vary.
