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.
