Key Points:
- The author adopted a minimalist note-taking method using a single daily-updated .txt document but found that multiple apps gradually became necessary for different tasks.
- Instant access and collaboration needs led to integrating tools like Calmly Writer, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Keep, despite initial resistance to app fragmentation.
- Different types of notes were categorized into Personal (stored in .txt files), Collaborative (managed via Google Docs and Keep), and Junk (placed in apps like Bring! for shopping lists), acknowledging varying value and collaboration needs.
- The author concluded there is no perfect, one-size-fits-all note-taking app, and dividing notes by purpose is a more practical and satisfying approach.
- This multi-app system meets diverse needs without cost, demonstrating that flexibility and categorization trump seeking an all-in-one solution.
