Did you see a significant productivity increase? Did your motivation to work on long projects change? Did it help you get over roadblocks in long project? (I tend to lose motivation whenever I struggle to make progress for more than 3 hours in a row.) How do you decide what goes inside of the system and what doesn't? (we have search engines and chatgpt that can quickly give us the information we want for most things) How do you keep the information up to date, for example if you read a research paper and later it is partially disproven?

Thank you! Looking forward to learning about your experiences :)

The biggest struggle with obsidian was how it seemed to try to subtly push me to link everything together. I have a very disorganised neurospicy mind and I was hoping to be able to offload the burden of organising stuff to a program on my computer, but I couldn't intuitively get to grips with how Obsidian could help me with that other than just pushing me to do it myself.
