Thought provoking piece from Joan Westenberg:
I deleted everything.
Every note in Obsidian. Every carefully crafted “second brain.”
Every Apple Note.
Every to do list.
Every article on my “read later” list.
Every productivity system I’d built over years. Gone in seconds.
And I felt zero panic. Just an overwhelming sense of relief.
Got talking about this on Alex’s ‘BAT WRITE’ co-writing hang out recently, and he made a good point of actually saving the thing, to have it as reference for later. I like doing that with this blog, and I also have a running note in my Bear app, too.
But again, here we are – I’ve added this to my blog. I can see this a week from now, or five years from now, and I love that.
