There appears to be a non-trivial amount of people who are so obsessed with the process of note-taking they spend more time optimizing note-taking than they take actual notes, or do something to write about.

This and the "life management systems" that seem to be a popular trend on HN, seem to ignore the fact that people with messy lives are often just doing more than people who spend all their time cleaning up loose ends. At a certain point there is no value to cleanliness if there isn't any increased productivity to show for it.
