I've found the same, the catharsis of writing the "Daily Notes Pages" [0] is probably the main benefit of these systems.
In my case, the immediacy of handwriting has been a better fit than typing for this purpose. I also use the reMarkable 2 with a linked pdf planner [1] that I built, and with some custom collections I find it hits about 90% of what I'd use a "proper" TfT for. Obsidian and Logseq still look pretty seductive, but I know I'd spend most of my time in the weeds configuring plugins etc.
I'm hoping the rM2's OCR and export capabilities improve over time so that we could combine the benefits of quick, effortless capture on that device (via handwriting) with automated categorization, linking and search (on my laptop, maybe via Obsidian/Logseq/etc). There's a lot of potential if someone can effectively bridge that gap! It's something I hope to explore some more this year.

- DavidPiper 4y agoGreat to see a Maggie Appleton reference! She also did a talk on Tools for Thought in April 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6uhvFGPUE0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6uhvFGPUE0 (she's the first half of the video) And she has an unfinished blog post on the topic as well: https://maggieappleton.com/tools-for-thought https://maggieappleton.com/tools-for-thought
- funksta 4y agoI just found her site a month or two ago (via HN, I think), it's really fantastic! Thanks for the pointers
