Exactly, that's what makes it so great, but also so hard.
Maybe it'd be easier if I didn't have a load of notes I want to keep already.
If I were to take a guess about why its so hard to know where to start (truth be told I dont really know myself), it would be where those notes go and where new notes go. But I guess the point of this "system" or lack thereof is that it doesn't matter, and if it does my brain will remind me of it until its done.
I've got some nice notebooks arriving tomorrow, maybe using them instead will help me transition (the extra friction to take notes will perhaps make me take less)
