No, I do not have that issue. I process each note once and do not revisit it, which prevents clutter from accumulating. If a note needs to be retained or acted upon later, I convert it into a scheduled item in my tickler file and treat it as an explicit action rather than passive information.
That’s a really disciplined approach — “process once, then either discard or convert to an explicit scheduled action” is basically the cleanest anti-hoarding rule.
Out of curiosity: what makes something worthy of going into your tickler file versus just letting it go? Is it time-bound commitments, high leverage ideas, or anything with an external dependency?
