What did you REMOVE from your Obsidian setup that actually made it better?
Most Obsidian advice seems to be about adding things.
More plugins, more properties, more templates, more folders, more automation.
I'm curious about the opposite.
What did you remove from your vault or workflow that made Obsidian noticeably better to use?
Could be a plugin you realized you didn't need, a folder structure that became too complicated, daily notes, tags, properties, templates, even a whole system like PARA or Zettelkasten.
And what do you use instead now?
I think the things people deliberately stopped doing might be more useful to beginners than another list of "must-have plugins."
