Can anyone suggest a "Notes System" that I can use? This question may have already been asked, and if it has I apologize. Just want a starting point. I have seen only one suggestion on a Youtube video, but it wasn't given in detail, not yet anyway. I appreciate it! Also, I am new to this group, so again, sorry if I am asking what has already been asked :)
- Trea, I had this same question when Logos converted the notes too to a database last year. I had ten years of notes and clippings arranged topically. Morris has a useful training video on the notes tool and he suggest a few different methods for arranging and tagging notes. That helped me to understand the overall functional capabilities of the tool. In the end, I created my own personal taxonomy. I use 'notebooks' based on both topical work and books of the Bible. Then I have a system of 'tags' that I attach both to notes, and (less frequently) to bible verses. This enables be to find research I have done on topics and texts, and to 'hyperlink' or cross-reference that information as it relates to a book of the Bible. If you journal, you may want to create an entire notebook for the annual journal, then tag months or days (depending upon how detailed you want to be). You will then be able to find your journal entires based on year, month, bible reference...anything you tag, you can later use as a sort feature. Bible verses are automatically stored and searchable in notes. Ill post a few screen shots, feel free to connect with me if this is not clear. I highly suggest you review the Notes tool training video, I found that every helpful.
- Brett Miller, thank you! This is what I was wanting. I get hung up on "the perfect way" to take notes and highlight, so I have never stuck to anything. I might copy what you are doing, would that be ok?
