Have you found that writing Evergreen notes leads to frequent context switching as one identifies related sub-ideas? Been experiencing that today while exploring a new area. Trying to pick notes to single task on & force myself to put the rest in writing inbox

Yeah. Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, writing atomically makes context switches more "okay." But sometimes this feels like "duty"—"oh, I guess that in order to write about X, I'll need to write about Y." I try to follow excitement but suppress "duty."

Conceptually, I'd like it to feel very "cheap" to throw a note into the writing inbox to deal with later. I don't want to feel a tension like "ah, jeez, there's a lot in here…" Not there yet. I suspect this direction is promising but needs iteration:
Speaking of the writing inbox, what would you say is the "Big O" complexity of integrating a new note in your system?
For every new note you create, do you traverse all your existing notes to identify relationships?
Or do you just connect it to its "nearest neighbors"?
