|
|
Even if you <a href="/wiki/2020-04-15-20-41-51">Add a desktop search engine for your digital library</a> and know the structure, it's not always worth with the overwhelming pile that will accumulate further since you always navigate certain notes through a fixed path.

Similar to certain software projects like Xorg, Rust language, magit, and org-roam, there will be a point where you have to redesign them. <!-- -->

You have to assign a garbage day at some point.

</p><p>Future-proofing your notes creates pressure on managing your note-taking seriously and efficiently.
|
|
You don't want to take notes haphazardly and the overall notes structure will stay the same throughout a year.
|
|
They should eventually evolve into <a href="/wiki/2020-05-07-21-53-21">Evergreen notes</a>, branching out of the original notes structure and making a better graph for navigation.
|
|
</p><p>An alternative to trashing your notes is to <a href="/wiki/2020-06-25-12-37-23">Create an inbox to store your thoughts</a>.
|
|
</p><p>However, focusing too much on future-proofing your notes will limit them because you're limited with the basics of a tool.
|
|
It is a matter of <a href="/wiki/2021-07-13-20-23-13">Tradeoffs lock yourself in a position</a>.
|
|
You're not using the tool to its full potential and <a href="/wiki/2021-07-11-20-33-13">Note-taking should make better thinking</a>.
|
|
Also, it's not like those notes will last for centuries.
|
|
A lot of the technology can be obselete in decades, constantly challenged with modern tools and findings.
|
|
Plus, you always have time to migrate your notes.
