A five point strategy to keep your notes organized and easily searchable

Why structure your notes?

There isn't a correct way to take notes, but I have found that having a system, any system, is extremely beneficial when you are working on large projects. Conventions allow you to stop thinking about the style of your notes and focus on quality and content. This isn't a list of rules that must be followed at all times, it's a recurring process that leads to a more useful collection of notes over time.

My system

Keep all your structured notes in a single root folder and make sure it's safely backed up. I keep my notes in iCloud.
Minimize directory depth. For example, you may have a music folder, but you should not have ANY folders within it, if possible. If you start accumulating a lot of guitar specific notes, you should make a new folder at the root directory named guitar.

Example file structure

Overview

This collection of files serves as a simple static demonstration of how to post to a google spreadsheet from an external html <form> following the example by Martin Hawksey

Run example

You should be able to just open index.html in your browser and test locally.

However if there are some permissions errors you can make a quick html server with python. Open terminal and cd to the directory where the gist files are located and enter python -m SimpleHTTPServer. By default this creates a local server at localhost:8000

time1.google.com

time2.google.com

time3.google.com

To send a request via the sandbox, you can use pm.sendRequest.

pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
    pm.sendRequest('https://postman-echo.com/get', function (err, res) {
        pm.expect(err).to.not.be.ok;
        pm.expect(res).to.have.property('code', 200);
        pm.expect(res).to.have.property('status', 'OK');
    });
});
