Organizing notes? Recording logs?

I feel like I keep getting swept into organizing notes and prioritizing it. I know it’s not important but for some reason I’m always so eager to “finish” file clean up tasks. Maybe it’s one of the few things I have 100% control over. Does realizing this lead to anything? Not really because notes and logging are just supplementary tasks.

There are actual tasks with much higher importance that need the effort. But they don’t allow 100% control. Is there a way to push past the “I don’t have control over something” to, “I need to affect something”? This is where the arrow analogy comes in. You can’t control where the arrow goes, but you can control where you aim the arrow. Sorry I’m not sure where I got this Analogy, but I thought it was very relatable. What I’m saying is it not always about what is there I can fully manage, but instead how can I affect things.

Note taking is very important. Recording a log can be beneficial. But actually doing the work is what we strive for. It’s why we spend all those hours building a second brain. So just shut up and do the work.
