I detailed some of this back in Episode 24. That idea will get transferred to the current day’s daily note at the end of the date. If I am away from the computer, I’ll jot an idea in my Fields Notes notebook. There have been too many times when I told myself I would remember an idea, only to forget it. I don’t always use the ideas, but I jot them down regardless. I’ve gotten into the habit of jotting down every idea I get. Over the years, I’ve realized how important having a list of ideas is to writing posts whenever I have time. There are two ways that Obsidian helps me with the blog writing: (1) Collecting ideas, and (2) writing posts. I sometimes leave gaps in the schedule, like I did for this post, since these Practically Paperless posts go out on Tuesdays. Having a backlog takes the pressure off publishing a post every day.įor instance, as of this writing (I am writing this on April 3, 2022), I have posts scheduled out through April 23. I’m either too busy, too tired, or I write something that I just don’t like. It acknowledges the truth of writing for me, which is that there are some days where I just can’t bring it.It keeps me writing, and keeps me thinking, both of which I enjoy doing.I generally try to write 2 posts per day, scheduling them out so that I build up a backlog. As of this writing, I have published at least one post every day for 467 consecutive days. Since January 1, 2021, I’ve made it a goal to publish at least one post everyday. I’ve been writing here on the blog since late 2005, about 17 years, and in that time, I’ve published more than 7,000 posts. Readers who come for the Practically Paperless posts see just one of eight to ten posts I publish each week. The bulk of the writing I do each week is for the blog. Also, all of my writing is now stored in plain text files, using markdown formatting, and readily accessible locally on my computer within my Obsidian vault. There are a number of advantages to this, but the main one is a single interface and set of commands for all of my writing. However, when I finally decided to do all of my writing in Obsidian, I intended to do my blog writing there, too. I like the block editor for writing and editing posts, too. I use WordPress for my blog services, and I have been incredibly happy with the service. That includes the writing I do here on the blog, so I thought I’d use this episode to describe how I use Obsidian to write for my blog. I also mentioned that I looked to Obsidian as the one place to do all of my writing. In Episode 25, I described how I managed my “professional” writing in Obsidian.
