"Systems like #obsidian promise coherence, but they often deliver abstracted confusion.
Human #memory is not an archive. It is associative, embodied, contextual, emotional. We do not think in folders.
My new system is no system at all. I write what I think. I delete what I don’t need. I don’t capture everything. I read what I feel like. I think in conversation, in movement, in context. I don’t build a #secondbrain I inhabit the first." (#JoanWestenberg)

Interesting — very, very interesting :
“I Deleted My Second Brain”, Joan Westenberg (https://www.joanwestenberg.com/p/i-deleted-my-second-brain).
Unlike most people, I'm incredibly unsentimental about my notes. So, when @Daojoan wrote that she deleted her second brain I nodded in understanding. I used to do just that with my worklogs.
A second brain isn't a shrine. It's just a utility. A tool. I don't even think my thoughts are especially, well, noteworthy.
If you want to delete a second brain and start anew, you totally can!

From @Joanwestenberg
「 When I first started using PKM tools, I believed I was solving a problem of forgetting. Later, I believed I was solving a problem of integration. Eventually, I realized I had created a new problem: deferral. The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold 」

I can totally relate to this
"I don’t think I want a map of everything I’ve ever read. I want a mind free to read what it needs. I want memory that forgets gracefully. I want ideas that resurface not because I indexed them, but because they mattered." - @Daojoan

I’ve rebuilt my entire workflow inside GPT-4o.
→ Billing system
→ Engagement tracking
→ Fault-tolerant logic
→ AI-assisted command center
No plug-ins. No API. Just pure prompt architecture.
GPT isn’t “chat” anymore. It’s a framework.
