Shout out to Obsidian, my most-used desktop and mobile app of the year. Absolute game changer. Hacker News showed me this and the book “How to Take Smart Notes” and it’s been an immense aid for difficult technical work, and plenty of other things as well.


Aside from using it for all kinds of notes (from work to book reviews to writing blog posts and other stuff I'm writing), I also use it as an RSS reader. Plain text is life.

Shoutout to the query features provided by the Dataview plugin. I have a work note which bundles all my TODOs from various work projects. It's great to be able to get an overview of all my stuff.

    ```dataview
    TASK FROM "Work/Projects"
    WHERE !completed
    GROUP BY file.link
    ```


Multiple books came up when I searched for the book you mentioned, who authored the one you're referring to?



Thanks!
