THIS GUY OPENED OBSIDIAN AND SAW HIS ENTIRE KNOWLEDGE AS A NETWORK AND HE BUILT IT IN 90 DAYS
one note at a time and one link at a time
now the graph shows him what he actually thinks about and not what he assumed he cared about
six months ago he had 200 isolated notes sitting in folders nobody visits
today every idea he has connects to something he wrote in the past
a thought from january becomes context for a decision in may without him remembering january even happened
his coworkers are still searching for files by name and finding nothing useful
the only difference is he stopped filing and started linking
his notes are not stored they are connected
like & bookmark this if you’ve been using obsidian as a filing cabinet this whole time
