it looks like my perception of OBTF (One Big Text File) got derailed at some point – I had been thinking of OBTF as yet another PKM system, storing your second brain in one file rather than atomic notes – and while yes, some do use it that way, the main idea behind OBTF is as a digital scratchpad (what zettelkasten refers to as fleeting notes) – those quick working scribbles that you almost immediately toss, the post-its with a phone number you need once, reminders of the bullet points you need to cover in an email, the notes “not yet ready for prime time”
