Obsidian Story of the Year 2020 nomination thread

Name: base (That should suffice for now :innocent:)
Title: I never chose to write, Obsidian made me write.

I’ll keep it rather short and simple but Obsidian completely transformed my morning. I used to spend my mornings with mindless scrolling through social media, consuming and going nowhere - in essence: I wasted a lot of time in the morning without benefit.

Every morning I’m still looking at a screen. That is unchanged. But I spend my time writing about my thoughts and whatever comes to my mind. This could have been done with pen and paper or any other application but I feel like the simplicity and thus frictionless use of Obsidian is what enabled me to realise the potential my thoughts can have - I just needed to write them down.
Now every morning I am having a conversation with myself - fighting, laughing, improving. This goes as far as random Obsidian sessions in the middle of the night, because I had a thought and that thought had to be transformed in a note, linked and prepared for future discussion.

tl;dr: Obsidian is the application which had the most positive impact on my life without having to force myself to use it!
