Organizing notes with organic connections to retain and be able to recall
knowledge using a separate repository from our brains.

#+title: Over-investing in note-taking can be a form of procrastination
Putting excessive effort into [[id:3dc8df7d-0050-4afb-9c93-5d0c50d324d0][perfecting notes]] and [[id:9da11b5b-b30c-4d0f-8e54-1389fb3276e0][Building a Second Brain]] can
be a form of procrastinating rather than putting knowledge into practice to
reinforce it.

There's a tendency in all of us to gather useful stuff and feel good about it.
To collect is a reward in itself. As knowledge workers, we're inclined to look
for the next groundbreaking thought, for intellectual stimulation: we pile up
promising books and articles, and we store half the internet as bookmarks, just
so we get the feeling of being on the cutting edge."
