How I use Obsidian

Aldo Latino (aldolat@gmail.com) — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:51:11 +0200

I use Obsidian to think, take notes, write essays, and publish this site. This is my bottom-up approach to note-taking and organizing things I am interested in. It embraces chaos and laziness to create emergent structure.

The following is in no way dogmatic, just one example of how you can use Obsidian. Take the parts you like.

It’s a flood — no, a deluge! Hundreds of messages a day. Overwhelming. Demoralizing. Soul-crushing. The thought of even looking at your email provokes anxiety.

What to do?

Email filtering to the rescue! Use sieve (KMail even includes an app for it!) to implement a bevy of server-side filtering rules that send emails to different folders. So neat and tidy. So clean. So organized. So much better… not!

Dai dazi contro isole abitate da soli pinguini all’amicizia commerciale con il nuovo alleato russo. Come sono calcolati i dazi di Trump e dove porteranno l’economia globale?

Una scia chimica è per sempre

E no: non è un’iperbole, o un modo di dire: i repubblicani — perché sono loro i primi firmatari — vogliono davvero mettere fuori legge le scie di condensazione degli aerei, basandosi su una delle più famigerate teorie del complotto dell’era contemporanea.

How I manage my KDE email

Aldo Latino (aldolat@gmail.com) — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 18:33:33 +0200

Every once in a while people ask me about my email routine, so I thought I’d write about it here.

Everything I do starts with the philosophy that work and project email is a task queue. Therefore an email is a to-do list item someone else has assigned to me.

Ugh, how horrible! Better get that stuff done or rejected as soon as possible so I can move on to the stuff I want to do.

This means my target is inbox zero; achieving it means I got all my tasks done. Like everyone, I don’t always achieve it, but zero is the goal. How do I work towards it?
