This reminds me of how I came to rely on using Apple Calendar. I tried everything, the bullet journal, paper and pen, online planners, paper planners, nothing worked well. But the Calendar app works anytime, every time. And it’s synced across all my Apple devices. The time blocks are colorful, and I can see at a glance which days in a month have stuff to do. And I can set recurring events with ease. Just use what’s best for your workflow

Was a Notability/NOTION/GoodNotes junkie. Went back to the basics with Apple Notes (and calendar). The joy of having all my info carry across my iPhone, iPad, macbook pro and mac mini was worth it. Never have to worry about not having all my info on ALL my devices. Been a Mac user for 40 years almost and still learning new things. Great video. Thank you.

True, the main point of this vid was to show that it worked well for me and to stick to one system

I was just watching a bunch of vids on using Apple Notes. This was one of the best because of the "getting things done" mindset and all of the great quotes. I hopped around between note-taking apps for years on my Mac, but am settled on Notes now!

Nice video. Totally agree. For me, switching apps was also a form of procrastination. Setting up new apps feels like taking action, when really, I'm just delaying getting things done. Better to just stick to one thing and get it together. Another benefit of Apple Notes is longevity. One thing about all these new apps is you have no idea when things will no longer be supported. The risk of Apple going defunct before all these new apps is close to zero, so I don't have to worry about my data potentially being lost. Which is why I just use native Apple apps for everything. One thing I wish Apple would do though, is integrate Reminders into the Calendar app, the way Google Cal has to do's at the top of each day. Strange that they haven't added that yet.

you can actually link your reminders to the calendar and vice-versa! i just found out about it yesterday . all you have to do is open a task from your reminders and just drag it into the calender app in a scheduled time of a day. and the opposite you just drag a task from the calender and drag it to one of the reminders.there's also a way to link apple notes to calender but idk much about it yet.

As I have an Android phone and a Windows PC, I chose OneNote. Which is it's very easy to use, plus those from Windows Sticky Notes are also synced to OneNote so that I can read it through my phone.

Loved this video. I now use Notion as a wikipedia for my work & personal stuff. I tried to use it for daily planning & note taking but it was just too bulky for that. Now, I use apple notes for note taking & microsoft to-do for daily planning. Best combo imo!

This video was informative to make me rethink all of my daily apps, reminders, calendar and of course notes! Thank you!

Very much common sense and back to basics. I have been flabbergasted by the incredible volume of blogs, podcasts, and KZread videos that try to tell us that we need to switch to yet another app to get our notes right and our productivity up. I wonder how many people spend most of their time just trying out new apps (of which we don't know will they exist a year from now), and switching to and fro between apps: "Why I switched from X to Y", "Why I went back from Y to X", etc. The native Apple apps have been developing in the right direction for years now and have functionality that advanced subscription-based apps lack. Rather than switching to another app because the Apple native app lacks something, it is probably much wiser to just wait for Apple to upgrade (and perhaps give them a hint about what you expect their apps to do next). I am a visual person, and the thing that holds me back from using Apple Notes as my one and only note-taking app is the default font which is very hard to read. As a user, I cannot change the default. I can only change the font once I have written the note. That's why I still have one (basically free) other note-taking app besides Apple Notes. Another point: I wonder why you use Apple Notes for task management. Apple has Reminders, which is an advanced reminder and task management that competes well with Todoist, Things 3, and many other premium todo apps. My experience is that the combination of four native Apple apps: Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Reminders, makes for an invincible team, particulary since they work together so well. It actually makes me wonder why people spend so much time trying out other paid apps and migrating data many times over, when it would be so much more productive to just fine-tune the combination of native apps that Apple offers. A big thank you, Shree Nadkarni, for such a sane - be it countercultural - advice. Looking forward to more of your videos!

This was so on point, well explained and real. Keep it simple. Thank you for this video!

I really like OneNote, mostly because I use a Windows PC and laptop for work, but it works just as well on Apple devices using native apps. I find it's much better at clipping web content. I also often import PDF documents that I want to markup and highlight, which works great on my iPad with the Apple Pencil. It works seamlessly between Apple and Windows environments natively, without having to use it in a web browser (although you can if you have to). And I find it's much easier to organize content into notebooks, tabs, and sections. There's also a feature that I really like where it can import your meeting details from Outlook directly into a note.

BRO!! YOU ARE SPITTING SUCH FACTS!!!! I was feeling I need Notion because a KZreadr I listen to often is using it. And I'm like... why do I need Notion when I have Apple Notes and GoodNotes?? So thank you for this video! LOL! Because I don't feel like watching a bunch of Notion videos on how to make a note and organize it.... when I do that already in Apple Notes. Keeping it simple is KEY! Love this!

It's literally me! I spent two days and one night only for reading about different note-taking apps and got insomnia because of fearing of "false choice". I read about - apple notes, notions, obsidian, microsoft onenote, google keep, evernote....it's frustrating and exhausting. I'm also a "ecosystem-follower" - since a use apple products, i try to use apple apple ecosystem, but cant dive into it fully. Now i'm more apple+microsoft and it is terrible to find tools which working in macos AND windows AND linux (via wsl) seamlessly. I'm tired

Sorry if this sounds rude, but putting your tasks in a notes app is a really bad idea. Using each tool for what it was designed for is a basic principle of organization and simplicity. It's not about making it complex, it's about doing it the right way. A practical example: if I have a task to do exactly on February 19th (today is February 2nd), the notes app would certainly end up making me forget about it, or I would have to write a lot more to understand days and times. In the end, it would be more complex than a simple task app, as well as less efficient. It wouldn't even work for a basic organization, only considering dates. Imagine with different projects. It's simple: notes app for notes and tasks app for tasks. No excess organization, categorization, etc. Simple, but the right way.

I too have returned to apple notes. I’ve wasted countless hours and a fair bit of money on all the latest note taking fads. Notion was so complex and took so much time I found myself using apple notes to take notes on how to set up notion for notes…it finally clicked that it wasn’t worth it. Notability and GoodNotes I liked because of the ease of transition between handwriting and typing, plus I could highlight what I typed. That’s my biggest complaint about apple notes. If I type something I can’t go back and write or highlight over it. Hopefully that will come later. Unfortunately until then I’ll keep using GoodNotes for school and apple notes for everything else. If it comes to apple notes then I will move everything to apple notes. I have found that people spend so much time trying to find a new app to be productive that they fail to be productive.

This is awesome! So relevant to where I’m at and where I’ve been. Practical and insightful observations. Most PKM solution seekers need to watch this.

I never watched a notion tutorial, it seemed to confusing and then one day i just started using it casually, months later and I love it

I use apple notes to quick capture, notion to archive and free form to connect my notes for an overview. I think it’s better to have multiple tools as long as you know how and when to use them to get things done; not every solution needs a hammer.

That video was a true epiphany to me. It was like looking myself at the cloudy mirror I have created with a bunch of apps, just to conclude that I don’t have a simple go-to note-taking app. I keep saying that when you live in the Apple ecosystem, Apple thinks for you so you have to make almost no decision in terms of hardware and software. So why did I leave Apple notes? I suppose I found Evernote back then, an app I stopped using a long ago. I will go back to Apple Notes and Reminders. The simpler the better and the more effective. I even switched from Apple Calendar, which worked amazing, to Fantastical, following Ali Abdaal’s recommendation, but I feel much more confortable with Apple Calendar. I guess the problem most people have, those who aren’t “productivity gurus” who only live to get new apps and updates (do they even relax at some point?), is that we get lost with the features of whatever app while we lose perspective of what we want an app to do for us. Thank you very much for your illuminating video!!!

Brother, this video is a eye opener for me 🙏. Subscribed your channel. I wasted more than 1 year switching apps ☹, I wish i got this video before . Watching youtubers using Notion, i used notion, Watch others using obsidian, i used obsidian, Watching others using logseq, i used logseq, Moved so many apps and wasted my time thinking i will use the best of the best apps and i ended in full chaos wasting lots of time. Your video has helped me understand that simplicity is the best thing. I will now use apple notes for rest of my life which is simple, fast and syncs well in the apple ecosystem. Million thanks to you for helping people like me 🙏

Good stuff! Greg McKeown would probably say you have an essentialist approach to note taking and productivity. Using only ONE app is a simple yet effective solution to complex workflows.

I would switch around but man Notion learning curve is crazy lol

Hilarious...and soooo true! I've tried them all (well, almost all), and now - yes - I'm back at Apple Notes.

Apple Notes is actually really good - Only reason I don't use it for all my notes is that on Windows you have to access from iCloud in a browser. If they had a Windows app with inking support I'd probably switch to it. Agree on not just switching apps constantly, that's the problem with most people, they consume a lot of content about being productive, try all the productivity apps but never actually just focus on being productive.

You can't do space repetition in Apple Notes. Nor make flashcards in apple notes.

Great explanation on just getting work done. I've used apple notes for my daily use for quite some time. But after learning programming, I need some notes that can be taken care of with multiple platform like windows and linux. Obsidian work best for me for putting some long documented note. But still use apple notes for my daily quick note that just need to be jotted down quickly. I've grown accustomed to the apple notes for quite a long time. It's like my personal notepad. Everything is in there. While obsidian is mostly like a big notebook that need to be documented in a proper workflow.

Thank you - this is an excellent video. Two follow-ups: 1. You can use your watch for Apple Notes? (how?) 2. What do you use for longer notes/journals/etc. ?? (Apple Notes seems more like a task list/to-do list tool) Again, thank you.

Well I use Obsidian for my BUJO and productivity, notion I use it for databases and apple notes for any quick notes... its a system that works for me. PS I use reminder all the time with siri and Fantastical for my calendar. It sounds complicated but not really.

what would you say is a good equivalent to apple notes for android phones because the default app for android is very bad imo

Excellent video young man.

You can also scan a piece of paper directly in files app. If you have Dropbox in your files app you can just do it in one step there versus doing a not first.

A great Guide!!! I recently discovered Apple notes and Apple freeform app's magic. They are an amazing tool and you don't need to look further as it gets the job done for 95% of the people. Truly recommend and I'm a sucker for minimalist/digital declutter lifestyle myself.

Hi, good quality video, I want to support, well done! I agree with your idea. The best app is the one you don't notice. And it can be several apps, each for its own tasks. Apple Notes is a reliable tool, but it’s insufficient functionality, if you need to work with tables, then Notion, Airtable and so on. And the application itself is not cross-platform, of course, there is a web version, but it's a little different. What you can comfortably do in another app will be pain and suffering in Notes. So it seems to me that we should not cling to one single faithful instrument, since there is none, but take the best of all worlds.

I agree for the most part. I just hate that there are graphical limitations with Apple Notes. If you’re using mainly with text and adding individual images, yes, but if you want to mix graphics, images and scribble, it’s just as bad as OneNote. Freeform does that now but it’s not notes. That’s what I struggle with how I like taking notes. Even with tables, the limitations create visually unappealing results. Maybe I expect too much but I struggle with this as well.

I use Notion and Notability. Apple notes is nice, and the handwriting support is good, but I need something more structured for use as a second brain and tasking tool. So, I use Notability for live handwritten notes, and I use Notion for tasking, long-term storage, evergreen information, and basically anything that has been processed and I want to hold onto long-term.

This is all good advice, IF Apple Notes would allow me to work in a way that makes sense to me I’d use it. For example, checklists. I mostly use checklists for shopping trips, meaning once I tick an item off the list I do not want or need to see it again. My mind and eyes find lists confusing enough, without irrelevant items remaining on them. Yet Apple notes will not give me a simple setting like “delete or hide list item when checked”. So I have to use Microsoft To Dos specifically for checklists, because it gives me that simple functionality and doesn’t bind me to “their way” like Apple always does. In fact, when I went back to iPhone I found iOS forced Microsoft to remove a handy predictive function that To Dos has on Android. I like Apple’s products, but at the same time they can be extremely rigid and overbearing and force people to look for alternatives.

@@Shree.Nadkarni Also to note, I can't really tell you how excited I am for link feature just by using Alfred. It's really a game changer. I can also access the link to my iphone too, which is a big plus. I can't Thank You enough.

Apple Notes is crashing on my Macos Ventura / Macbook Air M1 - whenever I import some drawing from my iPhone - it crashes. IDK why. I hope they will fix that. Other than that I like it. Even though I am still walking between of Google Keep and Apple Notes.

Well Done

Since I switched to Apple notes and Apple reminders from apps like Notion and such, I am actually productive instead of spending time managing my productivity apps (yes, looking at you, NOTION).

Nice video…keep going

Thanks!

So I need to invest in apple, if I don't use apple at all? Probably a better title would be "just stick to one system and don't overengineer it", but youtube algorithm probably doesn't like it. But there is another thing to it: What are you planing to do with your notes. Organizing your todos in notes is different from taking notes for learning or reference.

How is Apple Notes doing? It's taking a lot of storage on my devices up to 1gb for a mere 600 text notes.

PowerPoint is a good choice for taking notes.

You mention Apple Watch, but I have not figured out a way to have Notes work with Apple Watch. Any help? Otherwise, great video.

Correct.
