What I've found myself doing is taking a lot of notes, then when the moment arrives to organize them, I just delete them. I end up having to rebuild my (admittedly tiny) "second brain" from scratch from time to time, but at least I end up with stuff that's relevant now-ish, without having to bear the cost of a lot of long-term knowledge inventory.
