This reminds me of my personal Wiki that I use to keep track of information at work (I also use Obsidian for this). I start a daily note in the morning and write everything in there until the end of the day, where I have some time set aside to chopping up the information into the appropriate pages. It took a bit for this system to pay off, but when I was writing employee reviews and co-worker feedback, it was almost effortless. I have started to accumulate a critical mass of information that is giving me little hints of insights I hope to be able to leverage this year.

I am still working on actually implementing a personal ZK system in Obsidian or on paper (I am looking forward to Scott Scheper's book about Antinets). I manage people and write software for a living, but I don't really write articles or papers (which ZK seems a good fit for). I just finished "How to Take Smart Notes" by Sönke Ahrens, and it has inspired me to take another pass at starting a ZK for the benefits of greater understanding and insight about the variety of topics I read about.
