+The days I don't write I feel a bit lost.
+
+I'm finding it increasingly frustrating how I can't use the agora at the day job; I run a copy of it for my own purposes, but I can't use obsidian for corp note taking, so there's some friction involved in switching back and forth. Still, it could be worse; but I tend to get hung up/distracted by lack of integration. If it were up to me I'd make all my work public and thus integrate all my writing in one agora.
