This was a great read. Too often we get caught up in our own heads, about what to record, how to record it, how much to record, what tags to use, etc.

At the end of the day, if we’re not rediscovering past notes, we’re doing it wrong.

This article has given me food for thought.

Thank you for your comment!

In a previous article, I also discussed in more detail how to manage notes so that we can discover the desired ones in the future.

Have you tried adding your emotional state tags with note taking ? I'm expeirementing with it and very useful results!! Would love your feedback: https://open.substack.com/pub/agarwalabhinav/p/slime-mold-thinking-a-living-note?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1lqlq

It looks interesting. I sometimes add tags to my notes, but they are about where and how I come up with the idea. I call them situation-related tags. For example, during walks, while listening to music, and so on.
