Right now, it's been super easy for me to get sucked into developing peoples and the history of cultures, technologies, and nations. I selfhost Trilium and have turned part of it into a wiki for that stuff. I would like to start focusing on the micro-scale at this point, though. It'll be fun for me to start fleshing out cities and the people in them.

artifexian has a really nice and clear tutorial on how you can draw cities in inkscape or illustrator or whatever
Also, trillium looks really cool and I might also host it myself, but since it is in maintenance mode, is there any alternative?
That's a handy tip. I'll check him out.
Trilium Next is the community-driven successor, but I can't say I'm too familiar with it. I set up my Trilium awhile ago and I don't typically like to stay on the bleeding edge of things. I will check it out if/when I start having problems. :-)
The kind where I build everything in my head, write nothing down, forget it in a day or two never to be seen again while I feel sad about not ever developing them properly
I always have obsidian open to write anything thau comes to mind
Though, I'm actually using this as a way to motivate me to finish my blog
