Use Joplin to find your notes faster
|
||
======
|
||
Organizing notes across multiple written and digital platforms is a
|
||
serious challenge. Here's a tip to organize your notes better and find
|
||
what you need quickly.

In prior years, this annual series covered individual apps. This year, we are looking at all-in-one solutions in addition to strategies to help in 2021. Welcome to day 15 of 21 Days of Productivity in 2021.
|
||
|
||
Staying productive also means (to some extent) being organized enough to find my notes and reference them on demand. This is a challenge not just for myself but for a lot of people I talk to.
|
||
|
||
Over the years, I have used either individually or some combination of digital notes in an app, paper notes, sticky notes, digital sticky notes, word processor documents, plain text files, and a bunch of other formats I am forgetting. That makes not only finding notes difficult but knowing where to put them an even bigger challenge.

And then there is the most important thing about taking notes: A note has no value at all if you can't find it later. Knowing that the note with the information you need exists _somewhere_ in one of the places you keep notes isn't helpful at all.
|
||
|
||
How did I fix that for myself? It was, as they say, a process, and I hope it is a process that works for others as well.
|
||
|
||
I started by looking at the kinds of notes I was taking. Do different subjects need to be stored in different ways? Since I handwrite notes for my podcasts and use plain text notes for almost everything else, I needed two different ways to maintain them. For the handwritten notes, I put them all in a binder that I could reference easily.

To store my digital notes, I needed to pull them all into one place. The tool needed to be accessible from multiple devices, have a useful search function, and be able to export or share my notes. I chose [Joplin][5] after trying many, many different options. Joplin lets me write notes in markdown, has a pretty good search function, has applications for all the OSs (including mobile), and supports several different ways to sync between devices. As a bonus, it has folders _and_ tags, so I can group my notes together in ways that make sense to me.

It took me some time to get everything where I wanted it, but in the end, it really was worth it. Now I can find the notes I take and not have them scattered across my office, different machines, and various services.
