    This is the fundamental problem with hierarchies - knowledge is multi-dimensional but folders are one-dimensional. You shouldn't have to decide if "Vanguard 2026 review" lives unde…

    Chrome bookmarks + WhatsApp to self - classic combo. When you need to find a bookmark from months ago, do you actually find it or just google the thing again?

    Email as inbox - do you ever actually process it, or does it just pile up with everything else?

    That's a solid workflow. The "cleaning" step is where most people fall off though - how long does it take you to process a batch, and how often do you actually sit down to do it?

    The "low friction = actually use it" insight is real. When grep fails you - topic you don't remember the exact words for - what's the fallback?

    I have 2,600+ notes in Apple Notes and can barely find anything. My kid just dumps everything into Telegram saved messages. Running a small research - curious what systems people a…
