How I Use Fiddling With My Tools to Avoid Doing the Work

Maybe if I switch from notion to obsidian from my personal note taking and journaling, I'll finally be able to write more on my iPhone when I'm not at my desk because the Obsidian app is much quicker and stays outta my way compared to Notion on iOS.

Enjoy writing quicker, shorter thoughts down that don't have to be categorized, data based or have nice icons and header images, though I was just distracted by add file property in Obsidian menu. Have to add that to, uh, things I need to learn about Obsidian note, is that a thing I just created? Be able to find things I've written in the past without getting distracted by all the other things I've half started that appear in a database.

Not worry about how to manage images in a blog post draft in Obsidian.

Which is another thing I'll need to add to the things I need to learn about Obsidian List. Oh, that's cool. It pops up there automatically when I tap the double brackets button. That's great that I can tag a page to be created in the future, but that doesn't bring over that sentence for me, so the to-do isn't actually gonna be on that page somehow, is it? Write something here and automatically have it go to my Ghost CMS based blog. That'd be cool.

Oops. That's another thing to add to the things I need to learn about Obsidian List.

Originally I was gonna write one serious item about switching apps, and then I was gonna fill up the page with things that switching to Obsidian wouldn't actually solve as a way of deflecting from the real struggle of just sitting down to write, while also oversharing about myself in a way that will somehow fix all those things automatically somehow. What I should do is start a new document where I list all the things I want to overshare about instead of go to see a therapist about.

Oh, but what about tags? That's one more thing to go on the things I need to learn about Obsidian list. And I see I can't just copy and paste from Ghost into Obsidian on my Mac without getting rid of some of the formatting used by Obsidian. Oh, well.

Good first test.
