I mostly use Obsidian for taking notes during D&D (arguably its killer app), but I think "session" notes are a good enough analogue to "daily notes".
To that end, these notes serve as an excuse to force you to list your individual notes in chronological order (which makes it easy to trigger further memories/details that came next), which then prompts you to spin out any specific-enough information into atomic notes, adding backlinks which provide context and organic categorization that might not otherwise be obvious.
- kouru225 3y agoI was sort of exaggerating. I do get how it can be a useful process but it does seem like the author had blind faith in that type of organization without understanding the pros and cons of it, and I do think that the cons are way bigger than people seem to think they are. Some of my more rambling voice memos approach a “daily note” style of chronological organization. I’ve tried to create outlines for them but it’s pretty time consuming. Someday soon I’ll try to use ai to create summaries and see where that takes me. My point was that I think the authors problem is the daily note rather than the note taking app.
