So far my most effective method has been to stop trying to categorize and organize my notes. I just use org mode and: - have a to-do list up top. I try and keep notes as I progress through these - below is a "waiting" group of todos which I check every few days so they don't clutter the top list - below that is a simple daily log. I just write notes and tag meetings inside each day. I also write down a checklist of daily goals. I used to organize everything by category and I found I still had to search for keywords anyways! I have been using a simple linear method for a few months now and have been sticking with it every day. Trying to organize it upfront gets too hard over time.
