Episode notes

In obsidian there's so many different ways to visually think and some of them are more like what you just said with posted notes than others. For instance in Excalidra that you can do much more of like an actual drawing aspect with words integrated as well but then you have the obsidian local graph which doesn't incorporate any drawing elements it's just connections between notes. I'm not using many tools frankly so I think I have a handful of plugins that I use and most of them are not visual plugins by the way. Do you find yourself using each if you even use all of them? It might be an absolutely enormous question but I'd be interested to see how you juggle
