    I LOVE THIS! I consider myself an advanced notes user, but this takes the possibilities to whole new level. I have used a Franklin Planner method for a while now, and the forever notes framework will be a great addition for better search and organization. My only request is more thorough deep dives into the setup of each component. Great job and enjoy your coffee!

    Thank You so much for this video. My journey started with Thiago Forte’s PARA but I always felt restricted and overwhelmed, and thanks to New Perspective’s videos about Zettelkasten I tried and it worked the best for me, but it also lacked any visual organisation, and Your work here was something right in between, what I felt would make a great system, but couldn’t build it as simple and easy as Yours is. I can only imagine how much work went into it, knowing I tried to do something similar and didn’t work despite lots of time invested

    I am really impressed by this video . The most impressive thing to me is that you created a system which you chose to „implement in Apple Notes“. This does not mean that it only works with Apple Notes. The system might indeed last forever, regardless the tool of implementation (tool agnostic).

    Great video! This setup really reminds me of Obsidian, which is a free alternative that works well with iCloud too. Obsidian offers similar linking capabilities but with more customization options and a large selection of plugins. Definitely worth exploring if you’re looking for a highly customizable note-taking experience!

    😂 it looks natural as an Apple Keynote I don’t see the point of this. A lot of time to maintain the system, a lot of time to set up etc. It’s the « notion syndrom » of building things and play with the app instead of really working. Dopamine, dopamine, dopamine !!!

    I admire your system and your ability to both create it and sustain it. But as always it is a system for systematic people. I yearn for system, but I can never achieve it, as I'm not able to make my needs merge with other people's systems, and when I almost do, I always forget the system over time. But great work! 🙌

    This sounds like linking your thinking by nick milo and ppv by august bradley, interesting to see you implement it in apple notes as I've thought about doing so as well in the past. But the lack of easy retrieval of notes ( you are locked into the ecosystem), lack of databases and many other functionalities just makes having such a comprehensive system in. apple notes a huge risk. kudos on the video nonetheless.

    I’m really enjoying this framework, thanks for sharing it! The only thing I’ve run into is that I can’t create subtags in Apple Notes. With subtags, I could easily build a powerful system without cluttering the global tag space with tags like ‘Asian’. As a global tag, it’s a bit too much, but as a sub-tag for ‘recipes’, I’d love it. Hopefully Apple adds this feature in the future

    Nice.. could watch it on 2x speed and still follow. Great info.. really.. I don't like it when YTers read a script..but I truly appreciate the work you put into it. Your website is also very clear and calm. Thanks man I am in the middle of a messy rollover from Evernote to Apple Notes to now Bear Notes. Evernote is too expanded and too expensive. Besides their whole 'ai search' is confusing the shit out of my searches. I had a great folder system and tags that works great. Apple Notes allows for the same, but I run into the lag issue and not syncing well between devices. Any of you have this issue? I organise my digital archive both private and for my freelancing job in this system, so it's pdf heavy and very very tag heavy with over 2000 notes. Apple Notes syncs to iCloud and from iCloud to iPad and back..but only like 1500 of my notes go to my iPhone and created on iPhone doesn't appear to upload to iCloud. It's very messy. So.. I went on to Bear Notes that cost like 30 bucks a year and seems as powerful as the others. Just that they don't do folders, but nested-tags..that work similar. This is where your notes tips come in. I can use this too in either app. And it should save me a headache or two. Just can't add the links that easily.. more click heavy if I understand it correctly. One more thing, why not use the folder structure in Apple Notes vs your Home Note? I get that it's a page with links to other 'folders' if you catch my drift.. ? -> you missed an 'r' after 'you' on the Hubs tab at 1. in Setup 'title of you new hub note'.. But that's a minor detail. 🙂

    This is perfect. I have been using apple notes and love it, but my notes started getting out of control (particularly since seeing folders is not straight forward) The advantage of using ✱ for your main pages is that it’s easy to search for them (you can also use other Unicode symbols too) Edit: The journal was very tedious to set up, most because of the navigation. It’s an ingenious arrangement, but adding all the navigational links takes time.

  • @dfountain8907

    Forever Notes has been a game-changer for my ADHD brain! I’ve tried every notes and reminders app, but I’d always lose track of where I saved things-links, ideas, reminders-spread across “read later” apps, Instagram bookmarks, or random notes. Now, with Forever Notes, I have one centralized place to save and find everything quickly. Setting it up took some effort, but with shortcuts to add to my daily note and open key notes instantly, it’s incredibly smooth. If you struggle with organization, this can transform your productivity. It’s been a lifesaver for capturing and keeping track of my ideas. Highly recommend and very grateful for this wonderful framework

    @MarkAronica วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks for all your hard work putting this framework together. Amazing! Is it possible for someone to create shortcuts (or some other tool like a set of templates) that will help to more easily create journal pages? Those pages are filled with lots of links and look a little time consuming to create. It would be cool if there was a way to press a button and have it ask what day you want to add and the rest would be done for you. I'm sure you've already stewed on this question, so curious if you have thoughts on how to inject automation into your system.

    This is a really good system Matthias. I have adopted this as the framework of my Bullet Journal practice with a few minor changes. In addition my daily notes are handwritten with the Apple Pencil Pro rather than typed. My iPad hasn’t been used so much and having everything clearly organised on my Mac, iphone and iPad hasn’t been a game changer.

    Matias (Spelling?) - Very impressive. - - - I've watched many videos on Apple Notes. Most explain how to use it and rely on the viewer to determine his/her need. You've done the reverse. You conceptualized and described the needs and demonstrate how to implement with Apple Notes. - - - Kudos to you. The only suggestion I have is to change the name of your system. It is too similar to Evernote, another app that has been around for 12-14 years.

    • @myforevernotes

      Thanks for sticking around! 🙏 Projects, Areas and Resources can be used via ✱ Tags, ✱ Collections and for the most important areas also ✱ Hubs. I don't think it's necessary to have an Archive, as I just have my current and important notes linked on ✱ Home or ✱ Hubs. When you have multiple notes for a project, create one main project note and link the other project notes from there.
