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

• 2022
• 2021
• 2020

TOPICS

• Apple Glasses
• Minimalism
• Society

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.
