Some times ago I started to use Obsidian.md to manage my Knowledge. Then I read Essentialism by Greg McKeown, and I suddenly realized that embracing Essentialism also means to stop having a macro-complexity to manage. I stopped using Obsidian.md and now I just have some .md file for the few essential things for me.

I am slowly coming to the same conclusion.

This just applies to me, when my efforts are not directed towards making things and adapting on the fly, I tend to get sucked into thinking that I need a ton of knowledge to make things which leads me to find out systems which can help me manage that volume of knowledge, ironically and laughably before gaining that knowledge. Putting the cart before the horse !!!

I then go back to making things and I think these systems may be useful for certain styles of learning.

Does anyone here have similar experiences/thoughts?

edit: fixed idiom typo!!!
