Why did I stop taking meeting notes with Obsidian?
Those meeting notes looked excellent in my Obsidian chart view but were totally useless.
The Knowledge workers
If you are a knowledge worker, content generator, programmer, designer, consultant, or spend a lot of time in front of your laptop day after day, reading, researching, and processing mountains of information on topics you are interested or passionate about. In that case, we belong to the same clan.
In my day-to-day life and by the nature of my job (consulting), I am exposed to handling a lot of information: reading, researching, keeping myself updated, generating content, and providing tools for others to do their job better, but what interests me most during this process, is to create helpful learning that enrich both my work activity and my own personal growth, and of course all that translates into a vast amount of information that I have to capture, filter, process, link and store; and for all that, I use Obsidian, and I use it for everything, with a few exceptions, and when I say everything, it’s everything: books, journaling, movies, series, okr, drafts, study notes, research, quotes, taking meeting notes…. Wait! What? No, not that last one! That last one I added to my list of exceptions, and let me tell you why.
