I really enjoyed this. Though what's interesting to me is that I wouldn't think to *delete* my notes for this reason. I don't obsess over my notes -- I specifically use them as a dumping ground for things I almost certainly won't return to, but preserves enough optionality to satisfy my conscience!

I deleted 10,000 notes.

Because I was mistaking a database for a brain.

Structure for thinking.

Storage for insight.

I was building a library.

What I needed was a life.
