#Pieces remembers where I go, what I've seen and been working on. I have a Readwise Reader account. so why do I keep stacking clippings and highlights into @obsidianmd vaults 😭

Yeah at some point you have to ask yourself if it's worth it. If you aren't referring to it then it becomes questionable.

I recently declared pkm bankruptcy and deleted nearly 20 years of notes. It wasn't easy. But it's been glorious since and I don't miss it a bit.

One of my reasons was even when I knew how to do something, I was looking it up again anyway in case things get outdated. So I realized storing source material in any real way wasn't useful to me. Thousands of quotes and notes about videos watched.. I realized I never once went back to any of them.

Now my vaults are small and tidy and only really contain active notes and canvasses.

@Unforeseen this is what makes something like Sublime appealing, they're like little corpus bubbles of things about an idea but iNtHeCLoUd and I get attached to things and want them available forever which is the real problem 😂
