I want to take notes everyday, but I keep getting bogged down by how to organize those notes so I can "look back" efficiently. Essentially, I want to avoid taking so much notes that I'm reluctant to search for something because I haven't organized it well. Do you think the ISO date name method is working well for you?
- chadlavi 6y agoIt's mostly for sorting and context. I just do a straight up search (in my case in vscode) across all notes when I want to find notes about something particular. Really the most important thing to do is just start taking notes. You can reorganize later if you need to.
- stevekemp 6y agoI just have a simple header for each day: # 09/05/2020 Today I mostly ate cake ## Discoveries ## Meetings ## Projects - Worked on project 1 - Fixed issue <link> - TODO: Bugfix #1234 ## Misc So a fixed set of headers for each day "Projects", "Meetings", "Discoveries", "Misc", and free-form text. Sometimes I copy/paste commands and output. Searching is pretty much just grep.
