| How frequently do you find yourself copying quotes or highlights from articles/books/podcasts/videos? Directly copying them? Almost never - at the very least I'll rewrite or rephrase them to assist in committing them to memory. The lower the bar to "saving" things, the less impact they'll have on you going forward. Think the invention of the digital camera, and the thousands upon thousands of largely forgettable pictures. What do you find most challenging about managing your knowledge base? Until I wrote a personal RAG assisted LLM (Mistral based) chat system, it was difficult to retrieve multi-note information in a way that didn't involve searching for each individual note. I have around 10,000 "rich markdown files" (e.g. contains links to media) representing two decades of notetaking for personal projects, work, etc. Tagging goes a long way but Context-Aware notes aren't really a thing in most note taking applications. Final Thoughts: The tools/applications/integrations (GetPocket, Joplin, Logseq) have never made it easier to take notes. Reading these forums for years and seeing the same reoccurring topic (best note taking tool, how to take notes, etc) I also think that there are three types of people: 1. People who take notes 2. People who don't take notes 3. People who like to discuss the theory of note taking |
