Looking back 16  years ago when social audio was a daily thing in my life with shared scrobbles and my deepening appreciation of music from the UK. That's Elbow from 2010 playing in the background.

I use a checklist inside my Obsidian Daily Note. It originates as a template. I explain the "First Light" section of my Daily Note in this audio blog.

Obsidian is a free Open Source note-taker. I get a lot from journaling my daily notes. Know where your Obsidian vault sits so you can back it up. I pay for Obsidian sync since I use it on mobile as much as on my laptop. I have also used the Relay plugin to share part of my vault with collaborstors. I send some of my Obsidian pages directly to my https://topgold.micro.blog by using the micropublish plugin with Obsidian. It might be good to restart Signal chats if you want faster responses, Simon. Cover image is at https://insideview.ie/uploads/2026/bernie-mobile-obsidian.jpgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/topgold-audio-clips--2663090/support.
