What if a note-taking system could think for you? What makes something like the note-sorting app Roam seem like a good idea? "Seeing the shape of your ideas is not the same as having new ideas. Creating a too-comprehensive portrait of your own thoughts can amount to locking yourself into a labyrinth of your own preconceptions"

What I find more important: capturing my own thinking when it' feels urgent/interesting and working to balance the intentional and serendipitous with what I read, watch, and listen to. the energy surrounding the original PalmOS devices of the late 1990’s. I always felt using Graffiti for note-taking helped me remember what was stored in the Notes application. These days, I have little idea what is in my SimpleNotes collection.
