Real Value of Obsidian - Frictionless Capture and Automatic Discovery

#obsidian #ai #n8n

I Was Using Obsidian Completely Wrong

I obsessed over complex linking, templates, and graphs. A total waste.

The real value of a second brain isnt organization. It's frictionless capture & automatic discovery.

My new workflow:

  1. Record a voice memo on my phone/watch.
  2. An #ai action transcribes it (via an #n8n workflow)
  3. Another AI step tags it, adds backlinks, & files it in my vault.

Zero effort to capture, infinite recall later.
