Iām the first to admit that Iām a rather disorganized person; flitting between must-do tasks and fleeting fancies like thereās no tomorrow. Iāve never been a note-taker, and I regularly misplace any tiny scraps of paper I bother to jot stuff down on, but this is increasingly coming back to bite me. Having read about the success my colleagues have had with the likes of Obsidian and Notion, I thought it was about time I hopped on the productivity app bandwagon.
However, I couldnāt immediately get on with Obsidian, because my entire problem with taking notes is having to dig them up. I need something instantly accessible, whether on my phone, tablet, work, or personal laptops. Given that Iām still testing the note-taking waters, Iām not paying Obsidian $48 a year to sync across devices. Notion seemed like the better option, but I donāt really want all my notes to be online-dependent either, and the learning curve looks quite steep. Talk about picky requirements, I know.
