- You can create an encrypted, cloud-synced Obsidian vault using macOS encrypted disk images.
- Mount the encrypted DMG, open Obsidian, then eject to trigger a sync of the encrypted file.
- Automation via shell scripts and the Obsidian Shell Commands plugin reduces the workflow to one click.
- The setup is free and leverages Apple’s built-in encryption, but only works on macOS.
- Deleted notes go to the system trash unencrypted by default — a security gotcha to address.
- Clarity is the top priority in business writing; never waste the reader’s time.
- Use formatting (bullet points, white space, bold) to make text easy to scan.
- Use active voice, cut unnecessary qualifiers and adverbs, and keep one idea per paragraph.
- Start with your purpose, not the justification; lead every paragraph with a strong topic sentence.
- Read your work aloud to preserve your natural voice after revisions.
