It's not the stuff we write down is useless.
let's assume that without a good note-taking app, we reuse 1% of our notes. And with a good note-taking app we reuse 2% of our notes.
Our feeling will stay the same:those notes are a trash heap.
But we doubled the number of the "ideas" we can access, which seems like a good ROI.
And definetly, the process is useful.
- thenerdhead 5y agoI have a high barrier of entry to my shoebox personally. Totally agreed that 99% of notes are throw-away, but the 1% are absolute gems.
- Noumenon72 5y agoYeah, but why not reuse like... 99% of your notes? Why not just write things down only if you're going to need them again, and in a way that you will be able to find them when you need them? I'm more likely to reread a note many, many times than to take one I never reuse, because every time I need to use a cardinality aggregation or invert a conditional, I go back to the notes for that.
