Did I Mention the Pace of Development in Obsidian was Ludicrous Speed?
Update: Fixed broken blog link. I’ll get good at DNS one of these days…
First, it’s absolutely amazing to me how fast development is going with the Obsidian space. The number of things that are 1-2 weeks old that radically alter my workflow are just mind boggling.

I wrote that less than a week ago, and now that script is a proper plugin. It’s so hot off the press it isn’t in the Obsidian UI yet, but I’m looking forward to when it is (which will hopefully resolve some weirdness I had with the script version).

Interstitial Journaling in Obsidian with a Stripped-Down QuickAdd
Update: I moved to handling this in pure QuickAdd not too long after I sketched this out.
First, it’s absolutely amazing to me how fast development is going with the Obsidian space. The number of things that are 1-2 weeks old that radically alter my workflow are just mind boggling.

Pocket vs. Instapaper
When I started the BASB course, I had no strong preference for which read-it-later app to use. I’d put stuff in pocket for years (even before it was baked into Firefox), and I still had an old Instapaper account with some articles I’d saved in 2007.
I’ve ended up bouncing back and forth between them, and I wanted to document why.

BASB: The Story So Far
I thought I’d start putting some of my BASB experiences back into the wild. I’m aiming for once every two days, since I’m currently trying to interview for a promotion and watch my two year old while staying with my in-laws for an increasingly indefinite period of time.
Where was I? Right! BASB!

Keeping the Most Important Problems Top of Mind
It’s funny how once you start practicing something, you notice it everywhere.
On of the exercises in Building a Second Brain is to keep a list of your 12 most important questions explicitly listed somewhere so they can percolate in your brain as you move through the world.
One of my favorite media professors, Jay Rosen, posted a refresher to his top problems in Pressthink, which I’d forgotten he regularly does.
