Nothing wrong with some externalism[0].
I have an ‘exobrain’, which houses countless notes and snippets of information I’ve gathered over many years. I’ve offloaded passwords to my password manager, use a piece of software called Standard Notes for note taking, and screenshot anything I find interesting for perusal at a later stage.
The trick is to revisit your notes, which means you make a small pact with yourself to execute on those notes and make them actionable.

- Jensson 4y agoThe ML algorithm that powers you can't work with items in your exobrain. The main reason to learn new things is to add those things to your internal training algorithms, the more good snippets it has access to the smarter your thinking becomes. Your subconsciousness is much smarter than you are and creates links and indexes and lots of other processing that you could never add in an exobrain, and in addition is orders of magnitudes faster than you trying to navigate some external thing.
