I share the same perspective. There's a notable subculture dedicated to meticulously refining their note-taking, to-do lists, and other organizational tools. It appears that communities like HN and various tech circles tend to have a heightened interest in this, which makes sense since tech enthusiasts often enjoy fine-tuning tools just like writing scripts for tasks. However, akin to yak shaving in programming, there's a parallel phenomenon in personal productivity tools. While I appreciate Obsidian and similar tools (though apparently not as much as the next guy), it seems somewhat futile to invest excessive energy in crafting the perfect organizational system, as in reality, most of what we jot down or bookmark goes untouched. So, while it may feel productive, as you rightly noted, it can often be a form of procrastination.
