Obsidian in particular is the note-taking app I recommended to my students. I wish I’d had something like this available when I started college: Think of the massive, searchable database I’d have by now, 56 years and four degrees later!

Oura is not primarily meant to be a stress-management app but it sure as heck does that (it’s one of its four main features) and it works well for me. I love my Oura ring, and it tickles me to show up for a doctor’s appointment and find a tech or somebody wearing one.
