Forever Notes for writing projects

TomasAhlbeck

Hi.

I am using Apple Notes, and have a few folders there.

Targets
Focus areas
Personal
Projects

Under Personal I have a few folders aswell:

Health
Travel
personal development
Family

And under projects:

Writing
Genealogy
Standup

Now, this structure works since I don't have many notes (yet). I have until now put most of my project files in Things3, but that is not the correct place for project notes.

So is the Forever Notes system something for me, especially when my ongoing projects grow. I really would like to use Notes instead of Evernote, Obsidian or whatever. I will eventually get Devon Think, but so far I use EagleFiler. So My goal is to file stuff in Devon Think/Eagle Filer. PDFs I put in a folder in iCloud, so I can access them outside of Notes.

An alternative as I see it could be KeepIt by Reinvented Software. But it seems to have some problems with stability.

Is ForeverNotes system for me or will I just overdo things?

TomasAhlbeck I spent yesterday watching the Forever Notes videos on Youtube, I f youhave not done, do it, and in order, it helps a lot.

I worked on my Apples Notes and achieve my goal of implementing the system and even modify it to my needs. For example, the Journal setting below, I adapted so I can keep track of my business sales. I made the links to notes where I am keeping the info, and it works great.

Whether the Forevernotes approach is something for you depends on your needs. I recommend visualising what the most important criteria are for you in data management. Then compare these requirements with your current approach and that of Forevernotes and do ‘the right thing’ (to achieve an improvement) . Whether it is keeping your system, adopting Forevernotes partially or even completely.
