I find one possible answer to the question “How to make yourself actually do it” is to start by getting into the routine of keeping an engineering notebook - if you are already in the habit of jotting down stream-of-consciousness notes on whatever you are working on at a given time, then Obsidian’s feature to “extract highlighted text into a new note” feature makes it blisteringly easy to file away things you are likely to want to repeat in the future.
