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

In no particular order, titles have no bearing on your actual job function or skill.

Software Company Job Titles by Time and Techical Skill Required

Time Required

How much time a person must spend in order to do their job effectively.
Ranges from short to long days.
I will use the word "industriousness" as a synonym for "time required to do their job effectively."

Technical Skill Required

How much technical skill and knowledge a person must have in order to do their job effectively.
Ranges from nontechnical to technical.
I use the term "competency" as a synonym for "technical skill and knowledge required to do their job effectively"

	It takes exponentially longer for a developer to review pull requests as they become more complex,
	this is a simple model of the relationship:

	t = k**n

	t: time to complete code review
	k: the number of files
	n: the number of changes per file

	This model demonstrates that smaller PRs are much faster to review. For example:

	// What is the Google Document ID for your email template?
	var googleDocId = "abcd0000abcd0000abcd0000abcd0000";
	// Which column has the email address? Enter the column row header exactly.
	var emailField = 'Email';
	// What is the subject line?
	var emailSubject = 'You\'re bringing {Type}!';
	// Which column is the indicator for email drafted? Enter the column row header exactly.
	var emailStatus = 'Date drafted';
