Transcript

Ever had a brilliant insight, saved it somewhere, and never found it again? The notes database is where your knowledge lives. Here, you save the information and ideas you want to keep. First, you'll see your notes inbox. This shows all the notes that haven't been processed yet. You can assign a note to multiple different projects, to areas, or to resources. [music] For example, this one is about sleep, and I'm going to assign it to my sleep resource. And as soon as I [music] do it, it's out of the notes inbox and now in my active notes view. Notes also have a status. Uh there are raw notes [music] which you might have just taken quickly but they are not refined yet. Then we have polished notes. It's notes that you have maybe potentially progressively summarized. [music] And then if you don't need a note anymore, if it's not relevant anymore, you can also archive it. So the key is that notes aren't just floating in isolation. They're connected to the projects, areas, resources, and tasks that matter right now for you.
