I’ve tried a bunch of these sorts of tools. And nothing stuck over the years. But two things did after all, recently: 1. Using Bear.app. I realized that I just hated slow, sloggy note apps. Bear is native and very fast! Faster than Apple’s own Notes.app! 2. Not worrying about organizing too much. Especially upfront. I just start dumping everything. Then _maybe_ organize later. But more often not. Just leave it as is. I can usually find it fast with a simple keyword search anyways.

Yeah same with me, I've tried many tools like Org-Roam inside Emacs which is yet another Zettelkasten type of system, doesn't really make sense for me. So I just stuck to using plain text notes with whatever structure I want them to have, no standard structure, just whatever structure I want on a given day, and that is how I can actually get myself to write shit down, rather than wondering about structure and how this note links to that etc.
