Hello, friends.Hope you’ve had a great week.Last week, I mentioned that I'm exploring a new tool. Let me show you what I've found.

New Frontiers 🚀👨‍🚀

What's going on?

OK. I probably can't answer that questions. Well, unless "too much" is an answer.

So let's narrow it down a bit.

Why am I exploring a new note-taking tool?

Great question!

And to answer it briefly:

I became afraid

. Afraid that I would somehow lose my data. My notes. My

second brain

. Thoughts I had written down.

I've always had all of my notes on Notion. And that has been fine.

But I just had this nagging feeling.

What if Notion ever goes down?

I don't know.

And that was the beginning of something new.

I set out to find a tool that would help me solve that problem.

Enter,

Obsidian

.

Obsidian is a tool, very much like Roam, that allows you to connect your thoughts.

And it does so

locally

. Just look at what I've managed to produce so far:

That's what I have so far. I'm nowhere near the finish line of porting over my notes.

But I'm enjoying the process.

I have a lot of thoughts on Obsidian, but I think that I'll hold off on giving those before I've experimented some more with it.

I want to write a long-form blog post about all of this. The why, the what, the how.

There's a lot to cover. I think, in the end, it's not that Notion is bad. Quite the opposite, in my opinion. I just hate the possibility of losing data - and that it's not as future-proof as I want my notes to be.

Because all of this is really just about notes and knowledge management. I want it to be there for me always.

Anyway. If you're like me; afraid that you'll ever lose your data - or access to it - then look no further than Obsidian. It's a free tool, so you have nothing to lose.

For now, I'm excited to keep exploring and sharing what I learn along the way.
