I have used this app for two years. I like this app and I decide to combine it with all my life.
But I sometime realised the steps I open one specific note is too complex. I think it owing to my catalog tree is not scientific. I am ahead to modify, nevertheless, I have no idea.
I saw a function call "TAGS", how does it improve our note system? I mean, if there are more than several hundred note with the same tag, is this function still useful?
Likely not, but you can add more than one tag to a note. And you can search for a combination of tags. So you might have 100 notes with the tag ācarā but only a few also tagged āJapaneseā. Combining tags when searching can nicely decrease the number of results.
Thank you, I am now using PARA pattern to organizing my notes and marking my notes with multiple tags.
As you said, searching more than one tags can find the exact notes, but I must do that with keyboard typing in, which is a little slow. This is the only disadvantage of the present tag function.
I also use PARA. I used to have a lot of tags, which made the sync take forever. I ended up just deleting them all.
I use para as a general canvas, mostly for private stuff. Certainly for reference material.
But I noticed that using the outline plugin within one note makes it extremely confortable to use journaling within one note (with # subsections) instead of piling up notes in a folder.
I use a logitech MX Master where the ctrl-p shortcut sits under my thumb, and this is my main way to find subject within my notes. Hitting ctrl-shift-l reveales the note Iām in, in the notelist, in case I want to drag and drop the note elsewhere.
Also the history plugin sits on the right bottom of my scren and makes it extremely comfortable switchting to and from notes during one workday.
My folder structur goes now:
01 Desktop ( = what I am working on right now)
02 Inbox ( = pile it up, and āwhat needs to be adressed nextā, in a āgetting thing doneā way of working)
03 EDC ( = most used folder with todo lists depending on the field of work, also, important data, bank accounts, etc..)
04 Templates ( = text snippets)
05 Journaling ( = here are the timelined notes for clients and persons, journals get dragged to Desktop when I am working on them)
06 Private with in this folder projects, areas, references
07 Professional with in this folder again projects, areas, references ā this is mainly unused because of the 01 02 03 04 05 way of working

Noteā¦ I have abondonned common tags except for TODO Summary plugin (which is a total different story)
