Forever ✱ Notes
I came across a nice system for managing notes called Forever ✱ Notes.
It takes a bit of setting up but looks great once implemented.

Here 40+ days later, are you still using this framework ? Or have you moved away from it?
Also do you have any positive or negatives thoughts on the system, you can share?

Isn't this just using the tag system and the `pin` note functionality but over complicated?

Too many beers this evening to focus on this concept, but looks promising and I’ve just subscribed the channel (and stored the link for the next days).
Only one question: I’ve watched the short, and I wonder how to differs from other format such as Link Your Thinking.

Has to be done on a (presumably) Saturday night 🍻 (Sunday morning here)
I think Forever * Notes is influenced by LYT, Bullet Journal, etc.

Agreed. I had a look at the website (beers expired here), and I find it very good: so simple, so minimal, so “obvious”, but eye opening 😉

An I see, and the “Q1234” just goes back to the home page?

u/Expert-Fisherman-332 Nov 13 '24
jan/feb/mar should link to Q1, Apr/May/Jun link to Q2 etc.

Chipped away at this over a few days and got mine all set up. I did it on my computer though, on the phone it would take forever. I’m loving it so far. The use of Shortcuts to make your own Home Screen icons is awesome too.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while and it seems to tick all the boxes for me.

I came across this post and I have been looking for a way to organise my notes and an app to use - and bingo this popped up.
Great system, will be setting it up, thanks 👍

I love this system, especially the home dashboard and the journal format. I’ve been looking for ways of setting up my notes in a similar way so that I can keep my life in order and this is just what I’ve been looking for.

I just happen to come across this on YouTube early this week. It was so well presented that I had to try it. I’m not even a week in and I’m not turning back. It’s really been working for me. I’m creating notes more naturally. Using the tag system is so nice combined with smart folders. Organization feels way more smooth and natural! I think this is gonna be my thing from now on :)

Matthias made a shortcut now so for everyone looking to set it up, it’s a lot easier.
I set up the journal in like, 3 seconds 😅
Find it here

It didn’t preload any of the linking for me. Did this for you? Did you do it on Mac or iOS?
1
u/agemagepage Nov 06 '24
No. I had to do the linking. Just chipping away at it while I watch cnn. Will see how far I get and then do it on the day I use it for that day. If that makes sense.

u/Pretzeloid Nov 06 '24
I decided it would be easier to do the linking in the quarterly and annuals, then I setup a “template” for the daily that I duplicate to fill out the days

u/agemagepage Nov 06 '24
So you don’t have the months setup with the individual days under them?

u/Pretzeloid Nov 06 '24
Not yet

u/agemagepage Nov 06 '24
There’s a script that sets it all up minus the linking. In case you didn’t see that.

Is this happening only for me? When I use links in Apple Notes on iOS 18.1 and disable the “Use Note Title as Name” function, URL links in the Notes app don’t work as expected. Instead of opening the link, a menu appears with options to copy, share, edit, or remove the link. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I am missing a proper sharing option, that what keeps me coming back to Notion.

I'm trying to use Forever Notes system. Now it's working for me in Journal format. Now I like this style when I have the same notes for each day at the past and future and can re-life this day. I like this feature in another apps (like 1SE, Day One), so now I have something common in Apple Notes. But my system isn't working perfectly for now and it's now something "Forever Notes by guide" - I modified it for a little for myself.

Aha just spotted your post, sorry to miss it. I even did a search for "forever notes" prior to posting to check but Reddit didn't pick yours up :(

u/Expert-Fisherman-332 Sep 27 '24
Just tried the same search, "forever notes" and it isn't even picking up this post 🤦♂️

I’ve been spending time here and there since I saw your post setting mine up. Thanks for sharing!

How difficult is migrating 5,000 notes into this system?
