This is important, I think. Allen Ward expands on the topic of "reusable knowledge" standing in contrast to putting notes in a binder and sticking the binder in a cabinet somewhere and then pretending you have stored knowledge. For knowledge to be reusable, it needs to be actively maintained, curated, summarised, integrated. It takes work so one shouldn't bother at all if one doesn't expect to want to refer to it later.
