Came to say this as a light user of Obsidian. I don't think "hoarding" information is a bad habit. These are potentially bad habits: A) Allowing yourself to be distracted by useless information B) Under-organizing (or over-organizing) the information you collect The OP may over-collect pieces of information that aren't important (URLs of random things that are novel) and may not spend enough time adding context to what he collects (e.g. via notes in a tool like Obsidian). I find the ideas behind zettelkasten very useful. Our brains are not able to remember everything of value, therefore it is worthwhile to invest a little energy in an external or "second brain" where information is stored with some degree of organization for future retrieval. I have a cache of notes on all manner of subjects going back about a decade. I only recently discovered Obsidian and have been gradually linking those notes together, adding context etc. This has had a real impact on my understanding of certain topics because I've re-discovered insights and knowledge of many things I had simply forgotten.
