In my last note I mentioned that I put my precious Bullet Journal on the shelf (which really does make me sad) and switched to Obsidian as my full time journal. I wrote about this process in The Imposter's Roadmap as well.
I did this for these reasons:
- I like to review what I've done for a given month, and often need to find a specific reference. That's difficult with a paper-based book.
- I like saving code snippets.
- I like using tags so I can roll up my notes and entries based on who or what.
- Searching is a massive time saver!
- I love adding photos and screenshots. This is especially useful with Obsidian's canvas feature.
I tried it for a month to see if it would make a difference and yes, without a doubt, it has changed everything for me.
As Requested: A Video
There is so much to explain as to the how and why, so I made a video for y'all which you can watch right here.
Hope this is helpful! Bullet Journaling is a wonderful process that keeps you focused on what matters and allows you to forget what doesn't. Something that can help all of us.
Talk to you soon!
