Use One Note-Taking App for Everything

The Problem

Notes in Apple Notes, Google Docs, random text files, email drafts, and paper. You can't find anything.

The Hack

Pick ONE app: Apple Notes (simple, built-in), Notion (powerful, visual), Obsidian (private, offline). Move everything there. Use it for all notes going forward.

Why It Works

Scattered notes create a retrieval problem — you can't search what you can't find. One centralized, searchable system means every note is always one search away.

Pro Tips

• Apple Notes: simplest, built-in, syncs across devices
• Notion: most powerful, web + mobile
• Start by dumping everything into one inbox — organize later
• The best system is the one you'll actually use
