I Have To Make It Myself

 I have been in search for a journal/commonplace notebook note taking system for quite a while now. If there is one thing I am good at, it's writing things down that I don't want to forget. It's finding that reference or thought written down again that I really struggle with. 

I had this idea last year that I've been slowly trying to figure out how to incorporate. I often reference my own research and findings but when it comes time to show someone or use it in a conversation, I spend too long in our conversation trying to find it and then get anxious because I am making them wait and then get frustrated and then say "never mind!"

I have been searching YouTube and the consensus seemed to be Notion, Obsidian, and Evernote. I had been using Evernote until they started to charge monthly. I have become bitter towards everything in our life turning into a subscription. Even our music! But that rant is for another day. 

Obsidian is what all the fellow data collectors with ADHD kept raving about but I could never get over the initial learning curve. 

So that is my goal to be able to do so by the end of t 2023.
