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!

    My Travel Recording Setup (2025)

    I was watching Friends last night (something I often do) and started thinking about the recording technology of the mid to late 90s. It occurred to me that my iPhone is more powerful than at least some of the cameras featured in the show. It also got me thinking that post-pandemic, travel recording has gotten…
