I’ve been using Obsidian for about a year at work as a low-key personal wiki for bits of information that I couldn’t hold on to mentally but knew I’d need again. I love the possibilities, but don’t have the capacity or bandwidth to actually try and assemble a working, coherent, maintainable system out of the parts. Which is more or less my day job, so.. uh-oh?
I have no system, though I've been learning what *doesn't* work (my brain works backwards) — so now I know that I need to type out at least several extra words instead of one. (And I get nothing done, so there's that.)
I bounced from one note taking system to another and it does not work. Like you mentioned here our brain has been organizing information we just need to find a way to play into that.
I use Notion and my trusty notebook I feel like that’s good enough (at least for now) to keep track of day to day tasks and the large bits of information.
I use rocketbook and just scan it all into onenote so I can search it later. It's not perfect but it's good enough.

> Or are you still perpetually searching for the Perfect System™ while your thoughts scatter across various apps, notebooks, and random sticky notes?
This, except I don't even have the random sticky notes. My brain is convinced I can't take a single note until I have the Perfect System™…
