aah I wouldn't be a good person to ask regarding Notion vs Obsidian because I was never properly able to use Notion! it would distract me more than I actually using it hahaha I would make pretty dashboards one day and the other? eeeeh I wouldn't do anything with it.
Obsidian sorta allows me to create and use all my creativity without distracting me. It really does help me focus on writing rather than "designing my dashboard to be aesthetic" 😂
Ah, gotcha. I guess I haven't delved too deep into what Notion can do, since I didn't realize it was possible to spend that much time making things look better haha
I mostly use it for writing my blog posts and keeping a schedule of when I'm going to publish things
I suggest a small search in pinterest for notion 😂
I use obsidian mostly for work, to handle my work planning. My personal obsidian is more for jotting down things I don't want to forget or saving information or thoughts about subjects I'm interested in, not so much for planning (I do a little bit for non code projects). I use paper planners for weekly home planning since I really like my stickers and washi tape :3
I actually decided on Obsidian as a replacement for Evernote :surprised: I used Evernote a lot to take notes, I really liked the editor and the notebook organization they have going on but the discoverability of whatever I wrote down wasn't as good, or at least I wasn't really good at it. I also didn't like how it was a web app that would limit the access to my notes unless I paid (or logged out constantly and I'm more of a remember me type of gal). I don't have that trouble with Obsidian because my notes belong to me and are in my computer (I should link it to a git repo though, but for now it's fine), I pay for the sync between my phone and computer and that's it. I don't depend on a 3rd party in this case!
Also, Obsidian has a really nice, supportive and helpful community! I really suggest looking for beginner resources because when you open Obsidian for the first time you'll feel like looking at a blank paper! so many possibilities xD
But, the only way to find out if a platform is for you is to test it out! that's how I know if something works or not for me c:

Would you happen to know the difference between Obsidian and Evernote?
Im just starting to take notes but insured about what tool is best.
Thanks!
