When I add something on the iPad and iPhone, the new text makes its way to my MacBook faster than I can open the lid and go looking for it. My 787 notes seem to be synchronizing just fine. That one runs the gamut of notes I took when reading a book to useful Latin quotes … Sit vis nobiscum. When I come across something interesting with an advertiser’s product, I record it in the text file so I can remember to talk about it in the future episode.įinally, the personal folder is the catchall. A while ago I started keeping notes on Mac Power Users ad spots.
On the MacSparky side I have notebooks related to field guides and everything else. Finally, I have 286 separate notes including snippets of text I’ve written in the past but may want to use again. On the legal side I also sometimes do a bit of research that I know I’m going to want to use again and I keep that is a text note. I also keep bits of research and any other information I may find handy. As an example, many of these notes have a communications log where I I have a running text list with the date, time, and content of any significant communications for later reference. These include simple things like the name of a court or opposing counsel’s name in addition to any other bits of information I want to have quick access to. I split these between the active and closed matters. On the legal side, I keep text files on most matters I work on. For years I’ve been collecting bits of text relevant to every phase of life.
Below is a list of all of my folders.Īs you can see I’ve got basically three areas of my life: the geek, the lawyer, and the dude. That post resulted in a lot of questions about how I’m organizing my notes. I’ve already written at some length about Apple Notes and a few useful tips. I didn’t admit to myself, or anyone else, that I become an Apple Notes user but apparently I have. So first this was all a big experiment to see what was wrong with Apple Notes and then I just started using the application.
Now I’ve got 787 notes in my Apple Notes database. It seemed to me like a perfect excuse to slurp in the rest of my nvALT database so I could really push the application’s limits. One of those new features is the ability to import Evernote and plain text files. Just last week we got a new beta of an upcoming Mac OS X release that includes additional Apple Notes features. Not only is Apple Notes a contender, Apple has continued to refine the product. Then I started using Apple Notes and the strangest thing happened. When they announced during the keynote that they had an “all-new” Apple Notes I chortled and rolled my eyes. When I showed up at WWDC last year, Apple Notes was nothing more than a target for my derision. Apple Notes continues to get its hooks in me.
