My notes and journals are scattered all over apps and places, but reading this made me consider ways I can consolidate them more cohesively! I use the notes app for jotting down ideas and have a running note that I started in 2021 full of random ideas I can pull from. I make outlines for Substack posts in notes, then write the essays in a word document before posting. All of my knitting/crochet notes and works are stored on Ravelry. I was taking notes just for myself, but I’ve received messages from other crafters about how they’ve helped them, too.
Also in the process of compiling writing from lots of different places into a book, so I loved hearing about your process! I’ve started to use iNotes more and more (I also love the syncing) and both that and my photos are in desperate need of organizing. I’ve been meaning to create a photos album for all of my artwork pics so I’m not constantly having to scroll up and find them. And that’s such a great tip about screenshots!
I use the Notes app to collect thoughts and things I see - time to divide all of those saved snippets into folders so I can actually find something more easily. It's nice that they now can hold photos & screencaps as well as direct writing.
I use albums in iPhoto for documenting sweater & project progress, too.
