I used to use obsidian but I found myself lacking motivation and becoming easily distracted when looking at the computer. Now, I do everything in a notebook. I find that my thoughts just flow far easier.

    Bold of you to assume I’m organized.

    But for real I usually keep it in text docs and try to gather what I have from there, sometimes retriving stuff me and a friend did from old discord servers. I’m actually planning to make a full blown wiki for this stuff so others can browse through it, though progress on that has been absurdly slow.

      Hey, I’m not any better. At some point I’ll make a wiki for my world but right now, I don’t see any reason to.

      I like that workflow, it’s similar to mine. I typically take bullet point ideas on one page and then write a “wiki article” on another.

    This is one my greatest hurdles. I was using obsidian for a while as well and had some success but had similar problems with motivation. I’ve liked Legend Keeper but dislike the pricing model. Currently I’m just disorganized and throwing ideas into the notes app on my phone which is far from ideal.

      Try a notebook! It works great for me. I take bullet points in one with ideas and then write a “wiki” page when I’ve finalized ideas.

    I keep it all in a notebook, though that was mainly so I could bring it to school and worldbuild at school (we aren’t allowed to use our phones during class here). Not sure if I’ll switch to digital now that I’ve graduated and that isn’t a concern.
