It's amazing how quickly and dramatically my mood changes. The past few days have been neck-deep in keyboard-driven, plain-text everything. Today, I'm typing this blog post in a web control panel and using Hey.com for email and OmniFocus for tasks. I call this my "pointy-clicky" mood. I want to just sit back, grab the mouse, and drive. I tire of every single interaction requiring both hands on the home row of the keyboard. I'm not that serious this morning, and when I just want to fiddle, I tend to favor shiny buttons and easy UI manipulation.

I started this morning in a pointy-clicky mood. So much so, that I "settled" on Obsidian for today's notes. It's now 1:00pm and I've reverted to "Emacs is better for my life" so I copied what I'd written today over from Obsidian to Emacs and that's a relief. I need to remember how it always goes:
Step 1 (6:00am): "Oh, wow, Obsidian is so much easier. I should use it for everything"
Step 2 (1:00pm): "I almost forgot that Emacs is so much better at nearly everything. Forget about Obsidian!"
