The problem with externalizing information (note taking) is that past a point, it becomes difficult to find information again when you need it (because you have too much information to comb through). wrote extensively on this in [It's Not You - It's Your Knowledge Base](https://www.kevinslin.com/notes/e1455752-b052-4212-ac6e-cc054659f2bb.html https://www.kevinslin.com/notes/e1455752-b052-4212-ac6e-cc05...) I find that at the end of the day, the only thing that works over long periods of time (and a large number of notes) are hierarchies with a regular structure that can be applied consistently. The pain point with this system is that hierarchies are hard to change and the way we think of things does change. This is why I ended up creating my own note taking tool built around the idea of flexible hierarchies (https://dendron.so https://dendron.so)
