I'm thinking I probably need more organization than simple note-taking. I tried daily journals but it's hard to find stuff later unless you happen to land on the perfect cross-linking or search system, or somehow integrate with a reminders app, and have the system support every type of document or diagram you need from your markdown... I get caught up trying to design the best system, and end up with something that only half works -- I just post notes to myself in Slack, particularly in the @you channel, the one it sets up for you at your username. Downside: every time I switch jobs, I lose a TON of context. Upside: everything's in Slack and I don't have to worry immediately. :) Plus, it's always possible that I'd lose the computer I was taking notes on, or not allowed to sync notes to my own private repo, or whatnot. If I need to write longer-form notes than Slack allows, though, I often turn to Notes app or OneNote (if on Windows). But ... it's constrained because I end up not being able to stick with one cross-platform note taking tool -- the tools I use are too different. Still waiting for the perfect tool that has yet to arrive... I suspect the answer lies in the operating system -- to track what I work on in any app and helping me surface and record metadata better. To move from tracking files and folders to helping me track activities and outputs/decisions. Integrating git commit logs with macOS-like app-based revision history with operating system file browsing (for other kinds of cloud storage) seems like the right level of abstraction to work at, but I'm not sure what the right UI would be. :)
