What Jamie wrote

I’m digging into Obsidian recently and trying to improve my note taking process. I’m still struggling with it. I don't think I've ever been a very good note taker and it seems like something I would get value out of doing better. This list from Berg is interesting, but also seems daunting.

  1. Always “process” article, book, meeting notes after writing or importing
  2. Start doing Random Note Fridays
  3. Use Graph View to find lone notes, make them less lonely
  4. Add a Summary property to all applicable notes
  5. Publish your writing

What struck me about this list is how similar it is to blogging. The fifth item literally is to blog. The first four are things that I do every day when I do blog gardening. Maybe I need to stop thinking about note taking and think about private blogging?
