Notetaking Jedis know the power of organization.
Start by discarding notes you no longer need and shifting the relatively vital notes to more permanent places.
I suggest you reserve the darker peach color for urgent tasks or notes.
There are specific background patterns for groceries, recipes, places, travel, etc.
you’re able to drag the notes around and arrange them by color.
If you use Google Keep for tracking projects, specific colors can help youdesign a Kanban boardtoo.

Tag related notes with labels.
Any note can have more than one label, so you’re able to connect related notes.
For instance, notes can have a primary label like “Personal Development.”
you could also add labels with a “#” (hashtag).
Think about your labels with care, as Google Keep allows a maximum of 50 labels.
Number your labels
The heart of Google Keep’s organization lies in the labeling system.
Add a number to the label names in the order you use them.
it’s possible for you to insert all sorts of emojis and symbols in Google Keep.
Tip:Insert emojis in your labels and make your Google Keep sidebar look fun.
My iOS screen lets me see four to five notes at a glance in the Tile view.
I usually pin notes that are reminders or timely, like a shopping list.
you’re free to also set reminders for recurring daily or weekly tasks.
But why not also use reminders to clean up the notes you no longer need?
Choose a time in the future to review a specific note.
If it’s no longer useful, trash it.
This clutter can be overwhelming when you have a lot of notes.
A nice tip from theSimpletivityYouTube channel suggests using the archive feature to clean things up.
you’re able to archive all your notes as long as they are labeled properly.
They will still be searchable and editable, but they won’t clutter up your home screen anymore.
you’ve got the option to unarchive any note at any time.
it’s possible for you to then display only the critical pinned notes on the home view.
Tip: Google Keep has a powerful search with several filters too.
It can look through your pile and find notes byTypes,Labels,Things, andColors.
