Similar perspective, but I'd offer a minor tweak. Just as before gmail people spent a lot of time "managing" their email. Gmail allowed us to stop bothering and just use search to find stuff among the now-messy volume of email. It works pretty well.

Similarly, I'd say save everything, but spend no time on organizing it, relying on search and ai/future technology to find what you want from among the mess.

Similar thought after many years of trying to be "organized". Search is what matters, make sure the tool or format of storage allows for easy searching.
I'm a big fan of general search.
