"To get theoretical for a moment, **the cards fulfil two requirements of any good information storage system. First, it’s easy to put stuff in: I’m far less likely to record a thought if I have to fiddle with a tricksy handheld electronic device. Second, it’s easy to manipulate stuff once it’s in**. You can’t, by contrast, endlessly rearrange the pages of a notebook in order to prioritise tasks, structure a piece of writing, discard things you no longer need, etcetera." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[notecards]], [[knowledge-workers]], [[knowledge-management]], **Source** -- [[20241114100017 - B - Help!]]
