> I started reading to extract. Listening to summarize I resonate with this a lot. But in the opposite way of what the author implies here. Since I've start 'reading to extract', my attention span improved a lot. I feel my reading pattern is like that of the pre-social-media self again. Simply knowing that I'm going to write some notes down makes reading a much more engaging experience for me. By the way, this is what I wrote into Obsidian after reading this article: > [url]: The author deleted their Obsidian database of 10,000 notes. I do not agree on this approach, but they raised some interesting issues.

Perhaps I can delete some outdated ones every once in a while, instead of deleting the whole database like the author did?
