Day Three of Devdose
Today’s DevDose is a bit meta. It’s about note-taking itself.
I realised something while digging through a few YouTube videos and blog posts: I take loads of notes… and barely ever read them again.
I used to believe that the act of writing things down helped me retain what I learned. And maybe it does, for a little while. But if I never revisit those notes, the info just fades. Fast.
Apparently, there’s a technique for this called spaced repetition, where you review notes over time to really lock them in. Made me think most of my current notes are just clutter.
On a brighter note (ha), I discovered Obsidian today. It looks like a solid tool for organising and surfacing notes that matter. So I’m planning to audit my notes, keep what’s useful, and start building a second brain I might actually use.
