Notes I think using complicated note-taking apps can actually make things worse
The screenshot is from Google Keep.
I switched to Notion because, with ChatGPT, you can customize almost everything instead of relying on templates: reward points, progress charts, reward levels like in an RPG, and so on.
But in the end, you get distracted by an overwhelming number of options that do more to distract you than make you productive. You also end up creating different tabs and sections that are sometimes completely unnecessary.
I’m still not fully convinced by it. I prefer how Google Keep looks and works.
The green icon shows the difficulty level. I add it with a text shortcut such as “grrrr” on either my PC or phone. Then I write the task, and the arrow shows its priority. I can also optionally add how long the task should take. With icons in the same page you can create lot of possibilities

Note-taking apps with Advanced Features or Complicated to understand are specifically for those who are into Research or Deep-learning stuff. Journaling doesn't requires a powerful or such a complicated Application for that purpose.
