202202171517 - People mistake note taking with thought capturing

  • I only got started with my zettelkasten project and friends who use similar tools like obsidian or roam have sent me posts about how people struggle to maintain their second brain.
  • The article of Dan Shipper 1 argues that all the benefit from using bi-direction linking led to the pain of knowing where to put a note
