@Gaby I used to have a lot of stuff scattered around multiple apps. And to this day, I still have the oldest notes on Evernote, the second oldest (is that even a thing?) on bear. And lately I concentrate them on Craft. But most stuff start on Drafts. Which from time to time I remember that I need to organize it a bit. It’s kind of all over the place these days.
@Gaby I’m in a perpetual state of refining my note taking. At the moment it’s Drafts and DEVONThink. I went all in with Apple Notes for a while, but stopped again. Obsidian was confusing overkill for me.
@pimoore the main problem I have with analogue, is not searchable. Also I think part of my problem is actually taking the notes, or sitting down or take a moment at the en odf the day to document things, again, this all more for work-related thing than personal.
@BenSouthwood That is how I feel about obsidian as well, I feel like is not Gaby-user-friendly :)
@Gaby I see people raving about it and those impressive galaxy like links, but I’ve tried and failed to implement it. For what I need it for, it doesn’t work. I collect ideas for stories and I think for that it’s not intended. I have read accounts of people writing books in it.
@Gaby @pimoore so a good friend of mine makes INDXD which is for indexing analog notebooks and being able to find things. I don't personally use it, but I know @patrickrhone has written about it before.
@Gaby I took the same tactic as I did with my photo management: Pick one app that is the least likely to go away or mess my stuff up and go all in on it. Bear has been that app for me.
@pimoore I've never had a habit of notes for everything. I have no ability to look back at notes. I have no need for a huge PKM. That's just not how my brain works. If I'm writing notes, it's to help me think at that moment, and I almost never look again. Maybe within a day or two, but eventually, if anything of value is there, it moves on to something else. I don't understand the idea of having flits of (digital paper) surrounding me with little quips or ideas.
@pimoore @jsonbecker I am 100% in this same camp. It all seems like productivity theater to me.
@Gaby I’m a fine of Craft. To me it strikes a good balance between feature rich and easy to use. Most others choose one or the other.
