This is an interesting book. I haven’t read the entire thing, but what I have read fits with my experience of compulsive note-taking in a notebook that now has 5 years worth of history: Notebooks are great for generating and aggregating ideas, but if you’re not careful, you can get paralyzed by perfectionistic tendencies that make it hard to actually do things (especially if you have tendencies towards perfectionism to begin with). However, I’m gradually getting better at solving this problem. (Worst case, I’ll finally take a careful read over the “ideas for overcoming perfectionism” page in my notebook :P)
Not sure. I discovered it many years ago. If you are interested in that reference class of things, you might look at the book Mindhacker—I think Lion wrote a chapter on the system he now uses, which is an updated version of the system in the book.

Huh, that’s a very interesting introduction. Where did you find that book?
