My go to way of taking notes is sending messages to myself. Previously with Signal's "Note to self" and now with my own channel with Element. It is fast way of taking notes, but horrible in long run since you cannot group notes or add tags or anything else that you would expect from good note taking tool. I have Nextcloud notes, but I still do it since I am used to it and it is fast way of syncing notes with mobile and PC. Anyone else has interesting ways of keeping notes?

Someone needs to get the bright idea of an app that is a notes app designed to function like a messaging app.

You can “message yourself” immediately or set a time delay so that the message comes in after a given amount of time, or at a certain time, or under certain conditions. You can tell messages to repeat until you finally address the contents.

An extra-sinister idea would be an option to set messages to come in like a phone call. Make a message titled BOSS that repeated every morning. That’ll get you up.
