All of us who love notetaking have spent hours hunting for or building the perfect digital notebook. My app of choice as a recent convert is Obsidian. It overwhelmed me at first, but now I love formatting notes, typing out complex tags, and linking notes by hand. It feels productive, but it can be exhausting. I wonder if I will spend more time cleaning my notes than actually writing them. The search for the next shiny productivity app never goes away. So, I am experimenting with a new app called Mem. Mem promises a novel “organize nothing” workflow. It uses AI to sort, find, and connect your ideas for you. I am taking a first-hand look at it; maybe I can adapt the workflow to Obsidian.
