In a meeting with 4 people, discussing three big ideas, related to two projects, what file do you put the note in?
In Roam that's not even a question you have to ask, all info in each paragraph goes to all the right places
The only way I’ve found to handle this is manual. Note the dependency in the meeting notes, then process the notes after the meeting creating relevant todos elsewhere. But that’s only maintainable if you don’t have a lot of work on at the same time, or a lot of dependencies - and we find ourselves back at lean.
Too much work is too much work, and no amount of automation is going to fix that. Furthermore, life is messy, and there is no universal way of structuring that mess. The more mess there is, the harder it will be to live with it. So reduce the mess to the point you can live with it, rather than trying to structure it.
You can tag any note with multiple tags and then use saved filters to always find notes which are in a given tag. All of this used to work a lot better (evernote search has been getting consistently worse) but it still works fine.
But then when you want to see information pertaining to a given tag, it means that the content on that meeting note is 66% irrelevant. That doesn't happen in Roam.
Been working on both this week.
