> "My notes are spread between Obsidian, Apple Notes, a paper notebook, three bookmarked URLs, and a Google Doc somewhere — I no longer know where to look first." ^pain A personal fragmentation pain. The artefacts exist but live in whichever app was closest at the moment of capture. To find something later, the worker checks several places and may still miss the canonical version. The friction compounds: as the number of stores grows, the worker eventually stops searching at all and just re-creates the content from memory or from scratch. ## Discovery questions - "Walk me through where your last week's notes ended up — every app, doc, channel." - "When you need an old note, what's your search order? Do you ever give up partway?" - "How many places would someone have to look to find everything you know about a topic?" ^discovery-questions ## Examples - Asana's Anatomy of Work Index: the average knowledge worker uses 10+ apps per day, scattering work and information across tools.[^1] [^1]: https://asana.com/resources/anatomy-of-work
