The survey revealed that nearly one in three responders have trouble focusing for more than 10 minutes at a time before getting distracted. The majority of people (68 percent) have difficulty focusing at work, but some (62 percent) have difficulty focusing at home as well.Įven when we are able to concentrate, it doesn’t last long. According to Crucial Learning’s study of 1,600 respondents, two out of three struggle to fully focus on a single task. Between email, Slack, and social media notifications, distractions are so prevalent that it can be hard to focus on a task. Overall, incredible app, and while it may take a little while to learn how to use for some people, it's not too hard to get the hang of.Focusing while working is a problem many people face today. Obsidian is also a very stable app in my experience, I've only ever had it crash a few times, and it was usually the cause of plugins, which even don't crash that much either. You can put in images, audio, files, anything, you can style every note to be exactly how you would imagine it, you can view a graph of all the links between your notes, you can create your own encyclopedia, your own personal knowledge base, your own second brain. Themes like Anuppuccin let you customize Obsidian to be exactly the way you would like it to be. Plugins like Memos let you write down quick notes, Crossbow lets you automatically find tags, and many more. Ever since I downloaded it, I've been putting all my knowledge in here, step by step, linking it together, and creating a second brain. Obsidian is well and truly a game changer. With all that - this is THE most valuable tool in the entire Apple ecosystem for my day-to-day work. In my opinion those are higher friction and I’d prefer other tools but if you are a bit technical and like tweaking on your own you will find those useful as well - beware that community plugins can be more hit or miss in the mobile version. Lot’s of available community add-ons provide a wide variety of options for task management, calendar integration, kanban, data analysis and much more. Best functionality is for knowledge management and longer form writing, for both of those it is a distinct pleasure to use. It has spoiled me for any other note app. Support for the developers is only through their publish and sync services, neither is required to use all the functions of the product. Free full functionality in a data format that guarantees you can never lose access to your work. The combination is incredible and the Obsidian developers provide huge value for free across multiple platforms. Have been using Obisidan in beta for the past year and in the mobile beta since its inception. Forget Roam, Logseq, any of the other imitators - Obsidian is your answer. If you need more than basic note tools will give you then this is it. But, the reason I feel so strongly about it, there is an UNENDING level of customizability that comes from the deeply dedicated community and their custom plugins and themes - which the developer personally reviews and approves. The app itself - amazing note taking app right out of the box that does not gate your data - take it and leave whenever you want. I enjoy the desktop version more than the mobile version, but based on the insane features they just dropped on the desktop version (0.16) - I know the mobile version will be perfect at some point. I have paid everything I can at the highest tier because this is my most used tool - but I didn’t really have to pay anything at all. They give you a million outs to not pay them a DIME. They listen to the community but do not let it steer them in the wrong direction. The updates, bug fixes, and announcements are lightning fast. The development is done by a very small, very talented team. I have used, researched, and thought about more productivity apps than your average nerd… this is simply the best, in all cases.
