How A Hidden Feature in Bear Changed the Way I Review Notes robertbreen.micro.blog
@robertbreen I use obsidian for my travel journaling, and one of my favorite plugins is the Random Note core plugin. I use it to revisit previous trips, adding to that "compounding value" you get from revisiting old memories (and thereby increase what I call your "Return on Adventure" or ROA).
@rscottjones Good reminder on the random dice roll in Obsidian. Can you limit that to a particular folder or tag? I love “Return on Adventure” — I’m totally stealing that!
@robertbreen I believe it’s only per-vault /: Perhaps there’s a competing community plugin that might have some filtering capability?
Here are some more notes on ROA, in case you’re interested: rscottjon.es§+0+-+Return+on+Adventure
@rscottjones That's the beauty and curse of Obsidian for me -- there's almost always a community plug-in to solve whatever problem you face. When I used it, I found myself searching and tweaking plug-ins, and then troubleshooting why the plug-ins weren't working -- stuff I love to do -- instead of the harder and more nebulous task of writing and thinking. I still use Obsidian as a bridge to download ReadWise highlights into Bear, but I have to put blinders on when I use it to avoid falling back into its clutches!
And whoa! Your digital garden is filled with insights and wisdom. I skimmed a bit and realized I need to schedule some quality time to review. Well done!
@robertbreen You’re very welcome! Your use is much more expansive than my current use, and I fully intend steal parts of your approach. So thank you!
