Your notes automatically sync across all your devices. Start on your computer, continue on your phone — everything stays in sync seamlessly.

Best Practices für Ordnerstrukturen

• Group by project or topic: Create folders for major projects, areas of interest, or time periods
• Keep it shallow: Avoid nesting folders too deeply (2-3 levels is usually enough)
• Use descriptive names: Make folder names clear and specific
• Review regularly: Periodically reorganize to keep your structure clean

Namenskonventionen

Consistent naming makes it easier to find things:

• Use clear, descriptive names for notes and folders
• Consider adding dates to time-sensitive notes (e.g., "Meeting Notes - 2024-01-15")
• Use consistent formats for similar types of notes
• Don't be afraid to rename things as your understanding evolves

Suchtipps

Don't worry about perfect organization — search is your friend:

• Press Ctrl+K to open the command palette and search
• Search works across all your notes, not just titles
• Use Ctrl+F to search within the current note
• Search is fast and powerful — use it liberally!

Arbeitsbereich strukturieren

There's no one "right" way to organize, but here are some common approaches:

• By project: Create a folder for each major project
• By area: Organize by life areas (Work, Personal, Learning, etc.)
• By time: Use folders for years, months, or quarters
• Hybrid: Combine approaches — use what works for you!

Wann Ordner und wann Notizen verwenden

• Use folders to group related notes together (projects, topics, categories)
• Use notes for actual content — documents, ideas, meeting notes, etc.
• Long notes can be broken into multiple notes if they get unwieldy
• Short notes can stay as-is — don't overthink it!

Vorlagen verwenden

Templates help you maintain consistency and save time:

• Check out the Templates folder in your welcome tree
• Copy a template note when you need a similar structure
• Create your own templates for recurring note types
• Use templates for meeting notes, project plans, journals, and more

Tipps zur Zusammenarbeit

• Share folders (not just individual notes) for better organization
• Use clear naming so collaborators can find things easily
• Create shared folders for team projects or family planning
• Use anonymous links for sharing with people who don't have TreeNotes accounts
