I don’t operate the world putting everything into defined folders and boxes of clear tree-like structure (like I do on my laptop).
I operate the world by slapping infinite amount of tags on everything (which do not exist independently like in some tag cloud, but are rather interconnected in their own ways), and then tag-filtering or pulling the chain of tags when I need.
Sure, from outside that looks like a totally random chaotic pile, but it has its own structure, just the structure is different to what is usually pictured as a structure.
@olena@actuallyautistic sounds like you could like something like Logseq! It's a note-taking app I've started to use and wouldn't miss it for the world! https://logseq.com/
@olena@actuallyautistic sure, you do what works for you! For a while it really helped me focus my attention on meetings, which I continually struggle with (no surprise, thank you for nothing, #adhd ), and it's been a lifesaver because now I actually find my notes again. Good luck 😃
I personally like that it allows very simple note-taking for me. I don't need to think about where to store that note, I just write something down. When I tag/link it, I'm almost guaranteed to find it again.
I have templates for e.g. meeting notes or my daily todos, which are helpful because they make it easier for me to find notes of a meeting with a specific person (because each person is a link as well).
It also offers whiteboards and a fancy graph view, although I don't use either much.
