"The problem with notetaking is that we don’t look back at 99% of our notes."
Can you answer why this is the case? Is there a disconnect between what we initially capture (thinking it's valuable) vs what ends up being valuable? Is it too hard to find stuff?
I've tried the graph-based note taking apps like Roam, and while clever, it just didn't click for me, I felt like I would get lost navigating around. Also, Roam is adding so many features that it feels like a messy toolbox rather than a cohesive product, I can't spend the time learning all the doo-dads, I need to do my work.
The ideal notetaking solution for me would be one where I can search and filter it however I want (with saved filters), and easily switch between typed notes and handwritten notes from my ipad (with a means to convert handwritten to typed for searchability and sharing).
Read that book. Or at least skim through it. I tried learning Org-Roam and started making notes while reading it. Even before I reached the end of it, I was sold on Zettelkasten. Even if I end-up using some other tool (I hope I wouldn't have to), my life will never be the same as before.
