I second both the sibling comments here but I'll add a few things:

- Having a detailed meeting and project history from work helps me during interviews, writing resumes, reminding myself of previous approaches. A lot of this comes from detailed note-taking but making connections with people I've worked with, companies I've interacted with, etc adds a lot of color and detail.

- In a similar vein, tying together people with contacts (from Google or iCloud), events, and notes helps me be a better friend, neighbor, family member in my personal life. I don't have an excellent memory so I build it out in Obsidian.

- I like being able to do simple things like figure out how many bike rides I took since I've been laid off (65 bike rides, totaling over 645 miles and 138,000 feet of elevation gain).

Does this all change my life drastically? No but I like the work, I like how present in my life it makes me, and it's fun.
