I find these types of articles (and perhaps especially in the obsidian/2nd brain space) a bit funny.

It reads almost like they are trying to convince themselves how great their "new" workflow is. Which ofc they will completely change again in a few weeks.

It's akin to the guy focusing on the perfect VIM keybindings for super fast output, who then never really ends up writing much actual code.

I tried multiple times to use or create such workflow but it never sticks. I realized the only thing I need is to write things down and link notes when possible. No structure, no tags, no processes. It works well. The only missing thing for me is good local llm integration to ask questions agains notes.

Not an exact analogy but it reminds me of getting new notebooks and pens for Christmas, and writing "This is my new pen" in the book because I couldn't think of anything else. Inevitably the book stayed blank apart from that one sentence.
