How to organise notes by project and find them again
Taking notes is easy; finding them again is the real challenge. With a few simple rules your notes stop being a messy pile.
One note = one topic
Avoid catch-all notes. Better many short, focused notes, each on one thing, than an endless note where you find nothing.
Titles you can find
The title is the search key: write "Rossi kitchen quote", not "Notes". In a month you'll thank yourself.
Group by project
Keep notes for the same project or client together, so when you pick it up again everything's at hand. A simple structure beats a complex one you don't keep up.
Sync
Notes are needed where you are: having them synced between phone and computer means never saying "it's on my other device".
Frequently asked questions
How do I organise notes so I don't lose them?
One note per topic, clear searchable titles, and grouping by project or client.
Better one long note or many short ones?
Many short, focused notes: far easier to find than one huge note.
Why sync notes?
To have them on every device and never hunt for the right one on the other phone or computer.
