Practically Paperless with Obsidian is a new blog series I am writing about going “practically paperless” (as in the practical sense” based on lessons learned from my Going Paperless experiment from nearly a decade ago. Rather than use Evernote, I have opted to use Obsidian for this experiment. For more information and rationale, see my post Practically Paperless with Obsidian.
