I did this for a while. I think it was a kind of psychological displacement behavior - when I felt a lack of control over my life. A bit like playing animal crossing.

At some point I switched to treating notes as a pipeline - that is, if theres nothing coming out the other end (e.g. a document, a checklist I actually follow, an email, a reminder, a blog post, a jira ticket, etc.) then the activity is pointless.

Doing this meant it actually does bring value now.

LLMs seem like a singularly pointless addition in that respect, though.

I really like your approach of treating notes like a pipeline. I keep several lists and I noticed the only useful ones are those where I regularly cross item off and add new items. All other lists end up being cemeteries for ideas
