After doing a lot of productive journaling with a lot of productive tools. I keep coming back to something that is just simple plain text files in apps that have barely any formatting (except MD because that's just there these days) and the apps that are snapping fast and robustly stable. It was NV (-> nvAlt) for a long time and then Simplenote (well, with hiccups and finally had to let go of it) and now I am giving Bear/FS Notes that chance (will settle on one; my tilt is towards the FOSS+non-subscription). These stick - the kinda "plainish note taking apps". Nothing else does. Definitely not the Zoplins and the Obsidians. To me it seems all this "productivity" and "workflow magic and shit" talk is just for that - "the talk". And then there's a fancy "folder naming system". Right. I did try to understand the why of it. Didn't happen. But then I guess I am not even close to the power note takers these apps are supposed to be aimed at. This has worked for me (anything more (complicated) and it just becomes friction and within few days): - Open the app - Write a new note or add to/edit an existing one - That's it; at least the mere mortal version of it
