I Resisted Switching from Digital Notes (Using Obsidian) to Analog Because... I'm a P*ssy.

Dear Friend,
Alright, fine, here's the embarrassing thing I didn't dare to admit. I didn't have the courage yesterday...
I was struggling to admit how effective analog note-taking was.
In my notes to myself at the time, I wrote:"I [can't] help but feel like it may be best to move towards analog completely."
Yet, there was one thing holding me back.
Here's the next thing I wrote:"I must say, also, to be honest, the primary thing that makes me want to stick with Obsidian is the beautiful font and layout and style I spent this weekend creating."
Yes. That's me being honest.
What a pussy, right?!
I mean, seriously, to spend your time and energy on... creating a beautiful theme for writing?!... On a theme that fits the style and aura of great copywriters?... A theme that is inspired by the style of Gary Halbert's legendary newsletter?!
A theme, though... Yes, really... That's what was holding me back…
