> Add a #tag for better organization.

Honestly, you kind of lose me here. I want to spend exactly zero time organizing things like tags. Literally zero.

I also much rather use [[links]] for organization instead of #tags.

I touched a bit on this in the bottom-up / smart notes section.

Then don't. Obsidian's search is plenty good enough to find that note after.

Obsidian is the simplest thing in the world. Write text.

  • I find it the weakest link. It always tends to find the stuff that's least relevant first somehow. It's pretty terrible.

    Having said that I have the organisational skills and affinity of a baboon so I really need to be able to dump my notes somewhere and still find them back somehow. This is not too typical for this kind of package, I notice a lot of people are meticulous and follow complex structures like zettelkasten.

    For me that will never work though. It'll just subconsciously mark the system as "not worth the hassle" and never touch it again.
