I’ve been busy adding the PARA Method to Ulysses and the Files app. It’s making going through thousands of files much easier. A current project I’m working, an area in my life, or a variety of buckets for all the random topics I work on or reference throughout the week.
For a month now, I’ve been organizing my digital life inside of a Synology, with two 8TB Iron Wolf drives. Decades of files. Studio sessions, drafts, albums, assets, photos, and videos. I now have a central home for all of digital files. It’s been a fun process, moving all these files around and tidying up.
Another week of cleaning up my files. Mostly in Ulysses. I have a new system that I started using that’ll shrink the number of notes I have by A LOT.
Instead of having hundreds of separate notes, I should have just a few. A folder that has specific topics, and a folder that has specific years. It’ll look something like this:
JOURNAL
TOPICS
Random notes that I have throughout the year, goes in that specific year. Notes that I have on a certain topic, goes in the specific titled note. I split these new entries up with a line break, date, and then the note. Newest on top.
What I explained here took up most of my time this week. It’s a slow and tedious process to recreate thousands of notes to look like this.
