I’m finding the digital shift far more useful in the long run though I write by hand when I need to think and try to decipher what I've written so it's useful later on, more often than not to no avail. My index card system is now defunct simply because I can't read them and, given that I write in fountain pen, the chances of degradation and data loss are just as good via computerized efforts – though with the added benefit of being able to read the latter.

(Will probably create a second Obsidian Vault for those and move them into the main Work vault when needed for projects.)

Also experimenting with adding Toggl to my workmix to get a better picture of how I spend my day. Divided into projects, including into "other peoples' shit"; as Annie Dillard tells us, "how we spend our days are how we spend our lives," and I'd rather it not be overwhelmed – as it has been for the last decade or two – by "other peoples' shit."
