The last time HN said "Time to ditch Evernote!", I figured I should take a look at what I've stored and see what I should keep and what I should junk. After looking at the data, I realized that these tools are black holes of information. Things go in and never come back out again. Habitually storing information I'll never look at again is the digital version of hoarding. It was a compulsion and I needed to stop. So I deleted it.
I "replaced" it with obsidian in the sense that I still need somewhere to keep track of things I'm actively working on. I don't much like it, though. I wished there was a WYSIWYG note taking app that allowed you to easily embed images and videos.
