regular claude is not so concise, or decisive

i think that was Trellick Tower, by Ernő Goldfinger (who incidentally the Bond villan was named after)

i tried that. didnt work for me. im actually reading it now as an ebook. this means i can jump seamlessly back and forth between notes. i dont love this because i am definitely a dead tree type reader, but in this instance the ebook is the only solution. the physical copy sits on my bedside in case.

its a wonderful read but sometimes dfw just seems unecessarily hostile to the reader.

do you have a decent system to get entries between(both in and out) Obsidian and OneNote?

I have a similar system to you, but getting things in and out of OneNote is such a massive pain.

Everything I have tried requires significant reformatting (even Word).
