Man, trying to pick between switching everything over or just sticking with the current setup is giving me serious analysis paralysis here. I'm a huge fan of the sheer flexibility of Obsidian for linking and local control, but then come days where I need that incredible database management power only Notion really nails without feeling like it’s trying to force you into a single workflow. If you’re building something seriously complex or just planning a life overhaul, don't just say "it depends," tell me which specific project felt the most frustrating in your current stack—is it the search, the tagging system, or just the sheer weight of the UI?

"The catch is that the time sink spent learning to make Obsidian do what Notion does often negates the perceived flexibility gain if you aren't actually sticking to a hyper-specific template framework. I tried forcing database management into Obsidian with Dataview and it just ended up feeling like writing custom SQL every single time I wanted a simple view, which is just another layer of overhead."
"actually getting real-time accurate light sensing on a phone wallpaper might be overkill or just too battery intensive."
"maybe start simpler, like a preset grid that shifts based on time of day instead of actual light."
