About to give up yet another productivity system

I had multiple attempts at Notion for many years. But I never got it to work for me, and it was a terrible experience on iPad, which is my main tool.

Now I gave Obsidian a try, and it is the same story.

Constantly hitting blocks, and it’s just another tool you spend more time tweaking and trying to set up than actually using.

I loved the Excalidraw function, though.

But got lost trying to build the structure of my Obsidian vault with bases.

And when I tried to make a finance section, I was about to just give up Obsidian altogether.

So now I am thinking of going Apple native again.

In a constant loop of systems switching and system building but never getting anything close to being productive because one is always hitting a wall.
