> it does pay off to invest in at least a bit of a system

Sorry, but the whole point of the meme is that you get stuck in this mindset and you think you're talking to the grug side making your argument, when you might actually be talking to someone who's emerged from the far side of this particular Dunning-Kruger test.

As I said, I've been through the systems, I've been mindful, I've made connections and structure, I wrote my own wiki software half a lifetime ago... and in the end... there's just not that much value to it, I found. I don't really find much in my old notes that ever helps me enough to be worth the additional effort.

For a while, when I had an office, I enjoyed a post-it note based "system" where I'd just stick notes in places around my monitor, which is ugly and I hate seeing them, so they get done in order to help me clean up. I'd do that again if I had an office again...
