Obsidian is a note-taking and capturing tool. It looked like an excellent tool to bring back clarity for note-taking. Then just before the summer, my friend (hi Thomas!) casually mentioned to me this tool called Obsidian. But even then, it’s simple, and it works. The downside is that I end up with a gazillion text files that are sometimes challenging to sift through when trying to locate something quickly. A quick text file stored in my synchronized folder, and I’m good. Notepad++ is always the de facto tool I go back to. I’ve tried out numerous tools for these needs in the past year. Thus, my notes have transformed into mostly my personal notes.
And often, in workshops where three or more people from three or more companies are involved, OneNote isn’t the tool any longer – it’s perhaps email and Teams chat. A lot of the time, if I’m part of a working group implementing something, there is someone who is tracking stuff in OneNote – and I’m thankful for that. So much stuff is now stored in email, group chats, and different tools that I feel OneNote isn’t what I need anymore. I often don’t even bother to sync my previous notes but start a fresh one hoping I’ll magically resume my note-taking regimen. In recent years, I’ve used OneNote less and less. Or I lost access to my OneNote file because OneDrive insisted that my primary identity – that I’ve used since 2000 – had mysteriously changed overnight. Perhaps it was because SharePoint messed up the synchronization, and the Blob format of OneNote just did a hail mary. This ensured I could always go back to my notes to verify tasks, action points, and what we agreed on during the meeting. Indeed, if a meeting was taking place, it was necessary to capture everything from each meeting.
I quickly adopted this note-taking tool and religiously wrote transcripts of my endless meetings back then. I remember using OneNote then and being impressed. The first public version of Microsoft OneNote was released in late 2003. Thanks for reading my blog!
