> The more I wrote into my vault, the less I felt. A quote would spark an insight, I’d clip it, tag it, link it - and move on. But the insight was never lived. It was stored. Like food vacuum-sealed and never eaten, while any nutritional value slips away.

The better answer here would have been to make some time to go back and reflect and write more.

Not necessarily to throw it all away.

The goal should have been to reflect deeply, and write more on the most interesting topics therein.

> Worse, the architecture began to shape my attention. I started reading to extract. Listening to summarize. Thinking in formats I could file. Every experience became fodder. I stopped wondering and started processing.

I don’t understand why so many people on this thread feel the need to prescribe to the author what would’ve been better for them.

You don’t know the author, don’t know their mind, and clearly do not understand their thought process.

This post is a personal reflection. The author’s actions affect exactly one person: themselves. The “better answer” is unambiguously the one which works out best for the author. Period. They are better equipped than any of us to know what that is.
