Indeed your view makes sense. I'm very much one of the people you mention, I forget things all the time, and use search in Notion to find the things most relevant to me. I also don't over-organize my notes, but rather use something simple much like the PARA method[0], and so would challenge the organization piece of your argument.

To me, the value proposition would be anything incremental you can provide above and beyond simple search, but also something that isn't broadly accessible through other means (web search, GPT-like solutions, etc)

Thanks Andy, didn't know about PARA!

I intuitively feel like even the simple PARA method is already way too advanced for most people...

It requires good organizational skills and discipline.

How about this:

1. Imagine you can instantly save any piece of information you might need later on 2. You can ask about anything you've stored, just to recall it, or even particular details or summaries 3. Get reminded about things without cluttering the calendar

Does it resonate more somehow?

What would be your biggest objection to using it?
