My new notetaking system: Don't take notes →

"None if it really matters, though."

Aside from this blog, I've mostly given up on digital note taking.

I'm at a computer enough each day for work that the last thing I want to do is spend more time in front of a screen, even if it is to write or take notes.

I love the idea of taking notes of everything I am reading, but again this requires more time in front of a screen and to what end?

Aside from a daily journaling habit that I began six months ago, which I plan to share some thoughts on, an intermittent reflective writing practice that I participate when I visit my local coffee shop, and a new daily notes practice for my paid work— I've mostly given up on note taking.

It's not worth the time, effort, or headspace. I would rather be living life than thinking about how I'm going to write about living life.
