I use Obsidian for things that I can't or don't feel like remembering. Whenever I take notes on subjects, I often find myself forgetting the notes I took quickly. I tried different methods, refreshing methods, and more. But I found that by just doing the homework or practice problems I would remember the information for years. I still use Obsidian for a lot of things, journaling, pictures, etc. But not for recording information that if it was really that important to me I would just remember myself.

I am in the same boat and this is why I have high hopes in tagging as I am more likely to remember a general tag that keywords of notes.

I have always relied a lot on memory and on documentation. My approach was that I need to know where to find things rather that always have the information handy.

This means that I look-up a lot (I started before the Google era and the relief digital search brings is insane) and end up remembering the really important things.

I sometimes find on Stack Overflow my own questions I forgot I asked and now have the same problem :) This is also why I like to follow-up on such questions, enhance answers etc.
