Episode notes
In the world of cooking, we often hesitate to buy fancy ingredients because we're afraid of wasting them. Similarly, when it comes to personal knowledge management, we may fall into the trap of collecting too much information without actually using it. This tendency stems from a scarcity mentality ingrained in our society, where we always feel the need to hoard and preserve everything. However, to break free from this mindset, we must embrace wastefulness and let go of our attachment to material possessions and knowledge. Instead of storing countless papers and articles, it's more effective to curate a focused reading list that serves a specific purpose. In the grand scheme of things, what we accumulate or remember doesn't really matter, so it's okay to let go and be less obsessed with collecting and preserving.
