Your screen activity → Obsidian notes

Manual note-taking misses everything

You take notes during meetings but miss half the details. You read articles but forget to save them. Your Obsidian vault has gaps because you can't capture everything manually. The promise of a 'second brain' falls apart when input requires constant effort.

01

Meeting notes are incomplete — you can't type and listen simultaneously

02

Research sessions aren't captured — you forget which articles you read

03

Daily notes require manual effort that breaks your flow

04

Context between notes is lost — no automatic linking

05

Your second brain has gaps because input is manual
