To be fair, this was every bit as true when I used to carry organisational clutter around in moleskine notebooks instead: ‘notebooks’ provide too much organisation at the macro level and too little organisation at the micro level. The notebooks soon become arbitrary structures, filled with information organised in a sub optimal way and I’m never known how to rectify that state of affairs. It just doesn’t cohere with how I think or with the kinds of information I want to use it to record. I find it hard to pin down precisely what my problem with it is but I feel immensely antipathetic towards using it.

I won’t rehearse my issues with it here but the one that really matters is that I simply can’t stand the interface.
