Over time, my limitation has always been the tool.I now make notes exclusively in plain text or Markdown with some light folder organisation in the same place. Then, when I need to find something but can't remember where, I `grep`. It has never failed me once.

What does your workflow look like these days in practice? Are you using any app on top of it, or mostly just plain text / Markdown files, folders, and grep?

Still just text/markdown with grep. I fondly remember the first days when I started seeing beyond the apps! It was strange but I eventually got used to it. It was a bit like these blank-page writing apps / websites in vogue atm. Once the distractions were gone, I worked so much quicker. BUT, this is very personal - the important thing is finding your flow. If it works, run with it.
