several folks I know use tools like Obsidian as a digital Zettelkasten for quick[ish] manuscript creation
I use it as a 'pure' note-taking tool
And I accomplish what you're describing ("eat a cookie ... have a cookie") straight in Word (or Pages)
I pretty much never 'delete' a paragraph/sentence/etc ... until I've figured out how I want to reword it - I just move it around and/or write around it until I have what I want
- gala8y 3y agoI use Obsidian myself. Just started to work with bigger texts and got lost big time. As I mentioned in another comment, I realized it is also about regaining focus and getting in the flow. > I pretty much never 'delete' That's the tricky part. I try to cut quickly, but still want to have access to deleted parts somewhere.
- warrenm 3y agomaybe it's an aspect of having learned "word processing" in the late 80s / early 90s ... but I find the "edit around" far more useful than "cut and hold elsewhere"
