You Are Wasting 80% Of Your Time In Obsidian (The Pareto Trap)

Описание: Using Obsidian feels productive… until you realize you spent two days "improving" your vault and got nothing done.

If you're stuck tweaking plugins instead of taking notes, this 80/20 approach will help you stop over-engineering and start making real progress.

In this video:

• The Obsidian "setup dopamine" trap (why it feels like progress)
• How the Pareto Principle applies to vaults, plugins, and features
• Why "adding more" makes Obsidian worse over time
• The correct loop: use → feel friction → solve one problem → go back to notes
• How to delete/quit sunk-cost setups without guilt
• A simple "monthly research window" that prevents burnout
