Export Notebook to PDF in Evernote - A Slower but Worthwhile Process

When it comes to migrating notes from Evernote to Obsidian, there's a slower process that offers significant value - curation. My goal in moving my notes from Evernote to Obsidian is to curate them by selecting the most important ones and leaving everything else behind. In my experience, this step is crucial because it allows me to avoid wasting time on unnecessary notes and clutter.

I learned this lesson the hard way when I started digitizing all my paper documents and storing them in Evernote without using them again. This resulted in a lot of noise that made it difficult for me to find what I was looking for. As I transitioned to Obsidian, I realized that I didn't need to be 100% paperless; slow but steady progress is often the most effective approach.

For those expecting a magic solution to export all their notes from Evernote and seamlessly import them into Obsidian, I have some bad news - it's not possible. However, for those interested in reviewing how I emulate some of Evernote's features in Obsidian, I recommend checking out Episode 3.
