Personally for me, it allows me to dump stuff out of my noggin good or bad. That way I can stop thinking about it and move on. A form of self reflection. I have a bad habit to hold onto thoughts and go down a rabbit hole with them in an unhealthy fashion. Basically journaling but I can store things I have learned long term.

The beauty of it is Obsidian (or really any other writing app) allows you to develop a system of writing for you. I’m not the typical writer but Obsidian allows me to write without worrying about the organization so much.

After reading the site, I’m still not entirely sure how to use it.

Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic

It’s a notepad.

But then you go down a rabbit hole if you look beyond that Basically think about what could happen if your notes in different tabs could link to each other and extrapolate from there.

It takes up 6 of my 24 hours each day just to think about starting to actually take some notes. It’s awesome.

At its heart, Obsodian is a flat file markdown-based not taking app. It is pretty simple. To understand where it gets more involved, look at all the plug-ins available for it. There’s more stuff that can be found in the docs pretty easily.
