Searching for a productivity tool can hinder productivity?
The irony
Productivity Youtube is a HUGE rabbit hole. It's easy to get completely lost in videos about optimizing Obsidian or Notion.

I have gone that far sometimes just for the sake of completeness, to be as sure as possible that I'm not losing something that's a breakpoint in how you organize things. But I learned that if a method relies on being way deep to be functional, chances are it's way too rigid and impractical. I do engineering projects that require hundreds of doc pages, and obsidian with markdown, a simple table of contents and a file browser just collapses all back again to manageable levels.

You will learn about new tools possibly better without actively searching

In practice that's what happens. The one tool I settled with, obsidian, is the only one that was brought to me directly. But I like to deplete possibilities, at worst you learn other ways to not to do things.

Non ironically yes, indeed
That's why finding one that works is so relieving!

And it may or may not be the best but in this case something that works is good enough and stop the search
