Here's my old Obsidian vault and I haven't opened it for almost a year. + + + +The link graph is pretty, the whiteboard seems brilliant, and god, I even color-coded all my folders? And they got icons? They're so pretty that I don't even want to click on it. + +And I surely did not. These well-organized brilliant-looking notes never actually helped me learn anything. Well, maybe a little, but all the good learning happened while I'm doing actual work, not taking pretty notes. + +In school, teachers evaluate students' academic performance merely by looking at their notes. I remember in my middle school and high school, if a kid's book is almost illegible due to the fact that they have written useless words all over the page, they are considered as a diligent child. And guess what, we all try to write as much crap as possible but never even think to review it. + +It almost seems that the more pretty notes you've taken, the less you learn. + +However, taking notes is not always like this. |
