I was sort of exaggerating. I do get how it can be a useful process but it does seem like the author had blind faith in that type of organization without understanding the pros and cons of it, and I do think that the cons are way bigger than people seem to think they are. Some of my more rambling voice memos approach a “daily note” style of chronological organization. I’ve tried to create outlines for them but it’s pretty time consuming. Someday soon I’ll try to use ai to create summaries and see where that takes me.

My point was that I think the authors problem is the daily note rather than the note taking app.
