We dived into:

  • Why most life management systems fail
  • The difference between productivity and personal knowledge management
  • When I prefer paper notes over digital notes
  • The “digital dumpster effect”
  • How to decide what to capture in your Second Brain
  • My controversial stance on tagging and linking notes
  • And more
