waiting in line compresses your perception of time. when your items are being rung up, and it's time to pay, your perception of time dilates.
i pay cash mostly. if i don't organize my change at the register, i have to do it later, which i'm less likely to do since others behind me are waiting, causing my next transaction to take longer.
i don't want to hold up the line, but i'm largely unaware of the time it took those ahead of me to accomplish the same task i'm sweating through and doing poorly.
what i'm attempting to propose via analogy, is that systems are only as effective as the amount of time you put in. if social pressure causes me to toss everything back into my pocket haphazardly, it takes me more time in the future to use those things.
i used a straight text file with my own format while i had my own business. it worked. i'm not a dev anymore, i'm a musician and booker. if i don't amend my calendar or text file or handwritten notebook in the moment? i'm toast.
the fallacy is thinking one system is better when any system that's not updated fails
