Day-two option · a second brain
If you're into Obsidian
Obsidian is a free notes app: a folder of plain text files
on your own machine, nothing locked in the cloud. The point here is that your
assistant can read and write those same notes, so your notes and your assistant
share one brain.
Why it's worth it
- Project notes that build up. "Add what we agreed to the Level 3
notes." Six months on, that folder is the job written down.
- Meeting prep from your own notes. "Read my notes on the mechanical
contractor and remind me what's outstanding before this call."
- It's yours. Plain text files on your machine, readable forever, with
or without any AI. Nothing to be locked out of.
Day one or day two?
Day two. Get the inbox and the daily asks bedded in first. Once you find
yourself wishing it remembered more about a job between sessions, that's the
moment Obsidian earns its place: a shared, lasting memory instead of starting
cold each time.
No pressure. The assistant is fully useful without it. This is for the
lads who like a tidy second brain and want the assistant plugged into it. The
pack has an OBSIDIAN.md walkthrough when you're ready.
