@writingslowly I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve started making a[n Obsidian] note, only to realise I’d already made it many months back. Re-reading stuff you wrote that you have no recollection of writing is disconcerting, but it makes you think you might be on the right track.

@writingslowly I have sketches of inventions I dreamt up when I was 12 or 13. I have a movie script outline from high-school. I will never throw away my notes because too often, the ideas in those old notes have made present ideas better. They way I see, my old notes are external data drives.

@netopwibby Inventions - that’s really cool. I also have a play script from high school. I like this too: ideas in old notes making present ideas better. Exactly right.
