Last 2 or 3 years I do end of the year pruning.

Stuff that is relevant for things I am currently busy with are recent so like last couple weeks. Stuff that I don’t remember touching in those weeks gets deleted.

That’s a great pruning heuristic. Is this mostly about notes/links, or do you apply the same rule to other inputs too (email, chat threads, bookmarked posts, PDFs, repos, etc.)?

For the non-note stuff, do you have a “recently touched” equivalent, or do you rely on different rules (e.g. archiving/search for email, starred threads for chat, etc.)?
