Did anyone else give up on complex databases and move back to simple docs?

I spent an entire weekend last month rebuilding my personal tracking dashboard from scratch using all kinds of linked tables and automated rules.

A week later I noticed I was actively avoiding opening the app because taking a two line note required filling out four different property tags.

I ended up wiping the whole workspace and moving back to basic text pages with bullet points.

Removing all the fancy automation made updating my notes feel effortless again.

What feature finally made you settle on your primary workspace app instead of constantly switching back and forth?
