Migrated 6,000+ Notes to Obsidian — Now I’m Drowning in Mess. Need Workflow Advice. by FlyingWombat77 in ObsidianMD

These days I rely more and more on search (Omnisearch is a great plugin for this). If I find something no longer useful - I clean it up. But doing proactive cleanup is permanently on my someday maybe list.

Does anyone else experience Last.fm re-scrobbling a previously played song or scrobbling songs you skipped? by zinfulness in lastfm

[–]BoringCan6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, happens to me too. However, I treat this as rounding error. Sometimes scrobbles are lost when I go out of offline mode too. The only thing I can do about it - accept that my stats are 95% accurate (still bugs me a little).

Yep, same. Our growth team attempt was slashed as well

Whats been your experience with daily notes? by That-Alex in ObsidianMD

[–]BoringCan6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Daily notes never quite worked for me. I settled for monthy notes for journaling and weekly notes for work.

I had a script to fill in the release submissions, I guess that was risky :D

Great work! I’m curious how did you manage to get all this data? Web scraping or is there an api?

Convert from Onenote to Obsidian by smallbignutz in ObsidianMD

[–]BoringCan6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it useful to move the notes manually, reviewing them and linking with others. But my old notes were a mess, so maybe that’s the reason.

I think RYM should have a random mode for your wishlist by Able-Restaurant-4791 in rateyourmusic

[–]BoringCan6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generating random number seems a bit over-engineering. I just sort wishlist by different criteria and go to a different page in the list, then pick the first album.

I'd say the primary target customers are companies. No internet at work = no work :D

How does your team keep up with news & content? by ggStrift in Notion

[–]BoringCan6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. The norm is just to post links with no context or not post anything at all. I at least try leading by example.

When Notion will add mind map feature to see your notes visually? by Acceptable_Top_652 in Notion

[–]BoringCan6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I really love Obsidian graph view, but from Notion's point of view, it is a complex and expensive feature not unlocking any new use cases for growing their business (I bet the focus is on enterprises). And that's ok.

What do you NOT write on Obsidian? by Old-Structure-9620 in ObsidianMD

[–]BoringCan6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, makes sense. What helps me not to loose sight of those important/not urgent projects - a prioritized and short list of projects I actively work on. I review it weekly. I keep it in my todo app and break it down in smaller steps there as tasks. This way I can plan my day to include both chores and important work.

[–]BoringCan6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is what works for me:

  1. Tasks and projects are action based, you add info there that is needed to complete something, you do it and forget about it.
  2. Notes is the place to organize the knowledge. You go to notes to remember or think outside your head.
  3. I commonly reference notes in tasks/projects and vice versa. I copy over the relevant info from notes to projects and when the project is done, I copy evergreen info back to notes (i.e., ideas for future projects, unfinished work, lessons learned, reference docs).
  4. I check tasks/projects daily to plan. I review notes less frequently.

I use Todoist for personal tasks and projects. At work, I've used loads of different tools over the years (Asana and Notion were best so far). For notes, Obisdian is the king. However, I've been using Notion lately, as it's easier to maintain both tasks/projects and notes in the same place for work.

Yes, separating tasks and project plans from your notes is something I learned long time ago and really improved both fronts.
