Over-investing in note-taking can be a form of procrastination
Putting excessive effort into perfecting notes and 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."
