Yeah, I'm sort of controlling context for me *and* for CC—I want to be able to dive into areas/projects without losing horizon visibility. Cooked up a little dashboard that CC and I can both fill. (I have relatively few "ping me right now" tasks, and those just ended up in Reminders.)

I just used CC and some MCP I found to migrate off of things into a baroque system in obsidian I’ve fantasized about for ages, but which has been slightly beyond my ken and too tedious to construct. But natural language “hey that dataview query did X instead of Y” made it way easy.
