i've been trying out "one page per idea" in my private obsidian. any new idea, no matter how small, gets its own page.

previously i would only sort/organize by date, which means multiple unrelated things ended up on the same page and it also became impossible to meaningfully search for anything from the past.

@mayank Not sure if you're a Hazel user, but Hazel (https://www.noodlesoft.com/) is pretty powerful when combined with Obsidian. I've been doing the one-page-per-idea thing for exactly the same reasons you mentioned, and I have a Hazel action that turns text files into .md files and autofiles them to my vault. Makes it really easy to jot stuff down in TextEdit or Tot or something and have that automatically added to Obsidian.

@csilverman i write directly in Obsidian (often on my Android phone or Windows PC) so this wouldn't be useful for me

i would probably look for an Obsidian plugin before i look at external software. right now the big thing Obsidian is missing is automatic dates (seems like something that should be built in!)
