Another aspect of this is the problem of aspiring to some goal other than actually doing work... for example, having a large and impressive note graph, or making content (youtube videos, blog posts etc) about note taking. I'm always interested to see the broader phenomenon where people leave a job to create content/educational courses about the job full time instead. I have seen cases in finance, programming, wood working and in university students thus far. What is particularly interesting is when they make more as a content creator than they ever would have doing the actual job.
