I don’t think my notes situation is working for me.

I made a decision last year that Craft would be my one and only notes app.

I don’t think that’s working out for me. Mostly because I have 3 kinds of notes:

  1. Big planning notes
  2. Random thoughts
  3. Research notes

Craft has been great for the random thoughts and research but I think is best suited for Big Planning.

So I’m going to switch back to Bear Notes for random thoughts to see how that works out.

I envision Bear Notes working as a scratch pad most of the time and then moving research and project notes to Craft.

We’ll see how it goes!
