Last year, I started a renewed effort to use Obsidian and I've stuck with it - in fact, I haven't missed a day to get at least a short bullet journal post up. I've slowly been tweaking my templates, though. Recently, I added the option to include the weather forecast to my files.

Over the last few years, I've been experimenting with some of the various note taking tools. I've used OneNote, Evernote, Notion, Obsidian and LogSeq.

I'd like to share how I have my dotfiles configured. Are you familiar with dotfiles?
