To write down everything and never read it again is synonymous with wasting time.
I have taken notes on paper, Evernote, notepad, word, napkins, etc…, in the end, all those notes are not in a specific place, they are scattered everywhere, with different formats and inaccessible, this causes all the valuable knowledge acquired over the years is nothing more than a nice moment of annotation and a perpetual cycle of forgetfulness.
The acquisition of knowledge in various disciplines can produce new and innovative ideas on reflection of the whole.
When you have a system where you can keep all the acquired knowledge what you get is a knowledge base, when you can intuitively connect this knowledge what you get is a digital brain, a second digital brain that allows you to go back to each recorded concept, make traceability and be able to expand it at will.

Within each point there is a specific note connected with other notes, this would correspond to the concept of synapsing the neurons, here is a graphic and functional similarity of the comparison between a human brain and this system of perennial notes.
