The problem with digital note-taking apps like Obsidian is that after a while, your knowledge turns into PISS - Personal Information Storage System. While storing your notes in digital format might be appealing, it doesn't get neuro-imprinted into your brain as if you write your notes by hand or into A6 physical cards. Paradoxically, digital note-taking makes reviewing notes and memory recall even more complex. The fancy digital search doesn't help. The fact that each file can take an unlimited number of characters means you've got to consciously limit yourself and not turn your notes into a Second Wikipedia. I'm using A6 cards to hand-write my notes and store them in my shoe box, Zettelkasten.
