I like taking notes and the idea of taking notes, but I struggle with keeping a consistent system and habit.

Got stuff scattered all over like 3 different note taking apps and a few in random notepad/txt files

Short notes, blurbs, random thoughts and ideas, copy pasta, code snippets for solving that one weird USB port issue on Ubuntu 16.04 almost a decade ago...

I know some folks swear by the fancy full feature note takers like Obsidian and that other one where you write thoughts and draw lines to relate them. Maybe I gotta give it a serious shot sometime.

I often have the mental block that spending  too much effort in note taking and organizing them, fully learning to use a note taking app or system efficiently is somehow unproductive time. I know I'm probably wrong though.

As a developer, my most important tools are a pen and a notebook
