This may seem obvious to most, but it didn’t click in my brain until I ran into a certain situation years ago where I was caught in a situation that I needed to poop…. badly. I’m certain I looked something like the image. We were looking at a house for sale that was on a bit of land. I couldn’t find anywhere poop since we were waiting on the realtor to show up. In a last ditch effort to maintain composure, I found a tree and took a leak. The resulting space alleviated the pressure to poop. To this day I wondered when and where I might be able to share this nugget of information, and years later here I am.

Obsidian for note taking

Apple accounts are notoriously hard to gain access to if the user hasn’t taken the time to manage their security questions and/or delegate others to have access in dire circumstances. I highly encourage everyone to take a few minutes to designate someone and make sure security phrases etc are all in order. Losing access to the account could mean lost access to critical documents and memories (depending on how you use iCloud) forever.

I use Obsidian for this, with the added benefit that you can still access your stuff offline. Notion requires a connection last I checked, which put me in a bind a couple times. Obsidian also has a bit of a learning curve.

1Password does a good job of allowing both me and my partner to use logins. I’m excited to try out the new keychain stuff, but it would need this ability for me to switch and stop paying for 1Password.
