I've been on a slow descent into #permaculture and integrating ecological patterns into "regular" life (do "regular" and "regulate" share etymology?), and the "CHAOS" aspect reminds me of nature, where resources aren't piled into silos or shelves or cabinets, but are readily available in adequate quantities all over. Keeping all things into a confined "order" merely means we have to fight the "chaos" of entropy that life has already learned to inhabit. Fighting it is a useless endeavor, usually ;)
Obsidian? Do you mean Obisian.md? I LOVE that #MarkDown tool. I keep a first-level directory on my portable drive solely as a workspace for my Obsidian projects (I have so many, but never too many, aha!). I'm curious about your note taking; have you used #Zotero? I haven't made full use of it, in shame, so if you do, I'm interested in your #workflow and how you structure your thoughts with it.
I second your preference for PDFs. If I might nerd out, I really wish that the #XML family of standards took off for documents; PDFs used to (and some still do) rely on an XML format to bring all of the images and layers and what-have-you into one coherent package: the Portable Document Format (#PDF). If XML had better support across tech ecosystems, our notes (#handwritten, typed, and automatic annotations) could inhabit one coherent substrate, all while preserving the operations and presentations we expect now from siloed formats, but also while enabling #interoperability without reinventing tools that have existed for decades. I could imagine handwritten annotations being re-encoded as Scalable Vector Graphics (#SVG, used on webpages!) and included directly within the document you are annotating: never lost annotations or the document they reference again, because they _can_ stay together.
