the next #EndlessShenanigansOfAnUnemployedMind ‘venture i'm working on will be to _finally_ try and organise all my files and more importantly,,

- have them accessible where i need them
- reduce reliance on cloud services that can lock you out of your own files with zero accountability

thankfully since the advent of no longer owning your own music one bulk of that storage requirement has been freed up.

i’ve really enjoyed moving the “hot” files into my #Obsidian vault, even unsupported file types[1], because i can reference them in my notes and can use sidecar files if i need to add frontmatter to them.

frankly with how good the Notebook Navigator[2] plugin is i'm actually using it more than my actual file manager for most things now.

another benefit to this is having everything reliably indexed. looking _anything_ up is so much easier now.

plus you get to build your own dashboards & bases for file discovery!

i've not been very diligent in tracking my workouts at the gym, which of course any reasonable person (such as myself) will attribute due to a lack of a proper intake system in their #Obsidian vault.

given my state of #EndlessShenanigansOfAnUnemployedMind i decided to give it a try.

right now i've only got resistance training down, but i'm thinking that i could extend the system in one of 2 ways:

1. create separate templates for every “type” of exercise
2. create a monolith template that asks me questions based on which “type” of exercise i'm performing ie. treadmill, resistance training, cardio, mobility, etc.

the mobile app is binda kuggy so we'll see how this actually compares to me throwing random words into my daily fleeting note that i then organise later

_also cool_

in my basefile i've got a custom property that displays a summary based on the frontmatter of each note.

idk how it will scale but at least unlike having to write #Dataview code it groups everything by date.
