- I use obsidian
- My Folder structure:
- I use a variation of Nick Milo’s ACE folder structure:
- a nameless folder to hold utilities like attachments, templates, and data
- Atlas - a place for all of my evergreen notes
- I just store these in the root
- Calendar - use a similar version for storing my temporal notes
- Efforts - (I call this planning) Houses projects for me to complete and plans of how I want to live my life
- I’m pretty shaky on this one right now, I’m torn between housing this in Obsidian vs Notion

- Is this more of a critique on how much time you can spend tinkering with tools, tags, etc., rather than actually writing?
- Then where do you draw the line between tinkering for enjoyment, and having a brutalist system, where it’s purely functional? Or how about creating an efficient environment that you actually enjoy using?
- I think it probably comes down to self-awareness here. What’s the ratio of time spent tinkering to time spent doing the work that’ll move your forward?
