A week ago I wrote about wanting to [get better at note-taking](https://lewisdale.dev/post/note-taking-and-retaining-information/). My goal was to try and use Obsidian.md to take notes.

Well, a week in and it's gone surprisingly well. I configured a template for my daily note with a todo list, list of meetings, and notes. I have configured Obsidian to open a new daily note at the start of each day. This means I don't need to manually create notes, which added mental overhead.

A week in and I've taken notes every single day! They're fairly short, but they're only for me, and it means I've actually got a log of what I was thinking through the day.
