Half a year ago I stumbled upon two notetaking tools of which one improved my life's quality, so I thought I share my experience with the community. I'm not sponsored by either of these projects.
Both of these tools are powerful extendable markdown editors with a daily journal, calender function, TODO list and a knowledge base similar to a Wiki. Every page or block can be crosslinked, referenced or embedded. That way, I can keep an overview over my daily tasks with all necessary information directly accessible.
The one tool I use daily now, is Logseq. I synchronize my notes among all my devices via git. Works great under Linux, but I needed to install termux on Android. They are working on a sync service for logseq, which should make it more interesting for most users. There is one caveat though: It's not on Google's PlayStore, nor on f-droid.
The other similar tool, which I can recommend because it is more easily available, is Obsidian. The company also offers a sync service for premium users. I found one missing feature which is more a niche, but still a bummer: Code blocks cannot be indented.
What do you think? Do you use similar - maybe even better - note taking tools?
Hey welcome to Lemmy, second comment here :)
Wanted to say that I relate to the "productive procrastination" that PKM stuff like Obsidian can cause. I'm coming back to it again after Notion didn't work for me.
If I were to give one piece of advice to new users it would be to start small! Figure out exactly what you want to achieve with the software and then try to meet those needs with as little complication as possible. There are thousands of incredible community plugins out there but don't feel like you need to master even one to be successful.
Above all I agree with being proud of yourself for just writing things down, and accepting that your setup doesn't have to be perfect.
Thanks again for the comment!
