What do you use Obsidian for? (sh.itjust.works)

I find the idea of owning a personal knowledge graph incredibly intriguing, but I've had trouble getting started. To be frank, I'm not quite sure what to include. A lot of the information that I might feel like I would want to save is also readily available via Google and can be retrieved faster by Googling than by diving into my Obsidian notes. I'm focusing primarily on personal use-cases, so nothing for business or freelancing. What do you use Obsidian for? And how much do you use it? Tens of notes per month... Or hundreds? Or even thousands?

Yeah a lot of the stuff I store in Obsidian can be found on Google, but it's easier to find on Obsidian, and I write down clarifications and simplify things in my own words so I can understand it better.

I also use it for notes of things I want to do. Not necessarily todo lists, but things like movies to watch or stuff like that.
