Discovering obsidian has been a blessing for my sanity and made me less lazy for taking notes.

Plus I can use latex to transform md into docx and there's decent pdf support so I don't need to play with the circus of WYSIWYG pain that's MS Word.

I keep meaning to check out Obsidian, but I'm like you said, lazy.

I have obsidian installed, but I haven't really looked into how to use it. It has been on my list of things I should probably learn for a long time now

I am probably just an idiot but i find writing proper notes with links etc very tedious, in obsidian.

So i end uo just typing everything into a few documents based on the doc title. Which means i might as well just use notepad

Change Obsidian to Zettlr.

I think the use cases are different, as Zettlr seems like a pure publication tool but Obsidian (at least originally) was more of a personal note organizer that grew due to having community plugins.

I do agree though that Zettlr is a better publication tool, though I wouldn't change Obsidian for it as a personal organizer/kb.

Obsidian is what I used to keep my notes while playing Book of Hours. It was a fantastic tool and I'll definitely use it in the future!

How's the Book of Hours? I played a good deal of Cultist Simulator, but it tends to suck me in and I recover few hours later without an understanding what just happened.

Pandoc is also great!

Definitely, I said latex but I wanted to mean Pandoc.
The only thing is that applying a docx theme format to Pandoc was very challenging, although I would blame docx, not pandoc.
