Fair critique. I probably didn’t explain the wedge clearly. I’m not trying to optimize Obsidian setups — I’m testing whether “right-time recall → next action” is a real pain vs a non-problem for most users. For you personally, what’s the smallest concrete outcome that would make this useful (if any): better retrieval, fewer missed follow-ups, or something else? If the answer is “none”, that’s also valuable signal.

This isn’t an Obsidian thing, it’s just the next iteration of the GTD mania of the aughts or the Atomic Habits people or whatever other trend. There will always be people trying to optimise their organisational workflow to no end. Some of the least prolific coders I know have the most heavily customised vim. The problem with adding AI is these people are addicted to the brain crack of doing it themselves so AI is sort of antithetical to the philosophy.
