Academics IWTL how to stop writing useful notes and then never seeing them again
self teaching electronics for about 2 years. maybe 40 pages of notes, all tidy, all basically dead.
needed something about op amp offset last week and googled it from scratch. then found MY OWN NOTE on it twenty minutes later. felt personally attacked by a document.
im not looking for a huge second brain project. a note taking app for personal knowledge management that nudges old stuff back at me would be nice, or a paper habit that does the same. what survives for normal people who have jobs and evenings??
