The Lonely World Of Convincing People to use PKMSes

So I’m constantly confused how not everyone in the world uses them? At best, the mainstream population seems to dump random thoughts into the default notes on their platform. This is bad for several reasons.

For one, the default notes app is not really designed for note taking… ironically. Take Apple Notes. You may like it for its simplicity, but let’s be honest with ourselves. How much time do you spend taking a note, and then how much time do you spend finding that note again? It feels good for sure, but I feel we can do better.

We can build something that both feels good and saves us time too. These tools already exist in fact, and I talk about them all the time in my articles. The problem is not even a marketing problem — so many people know about Obsidian. Yet, every one of my friends who has tried it, has never made it a habit. They always drop off and go back to… well… Apple Notes.

We’re the only species so lazy that we invented the most complex technologies possible to do things for us. I can’t wait for Figure to become mass-commercialized and do my dishes, laundry, and cleaning for me.
