Totally agree — a recurring ritual beats any tool. Rewriting/distilling is basically how notes turn into something you can actually re-enter later.

One nuance I’m exploring is making that weekly “fix notes” time the primary UX: during the review, help you pick the few items worth distilling, link them to a small set of active projects, and extract 1–2 concrete next steps. Outside that window, stay quiet so it doesn’t become another inbox.

What cadence has actually stuck for you in practice: a short daily pass, or a deeper weekly review?
