For the past few days I have been reorganising all my files on the different computers, tablets and phone I have. There are a few reasons for this:

1. I am often looking for info I know I have stored somewhere but am often not able to find it quickly when I need it.
2. I want one and only data source which I can access from any of my computers or even external ones.
3. I have too many Note taking applications for which I even pay a monthly fee for some. 

I have decided to get rid of applications like Evernote (€99 a year is now cancelled) and concentrate on Apple’s native and free application iNote combined with Dropbox. The plan being to have a main index on iNote with links to internal iNote notes (this is now possible with iOS 17.1) or links to Dropbox.

For instance I can have a list of documents on Dropbox (ID Card, Passport, Driving license etc etc) and links to them from my iNotes new index.

For the past few days I have been transferring all my Evernote files out of that application. It is a gigantic task, files have accumulated over the years. Some are obviously not longer relevant.

Another big move is that everything is now copied into the “☁️Cloud☁️” so it can be accessed from anywhere. Sensitive information is stored on external disks.

I am nowhere finished but it is beginning to look good

I have started a similar exercise with “To Do” and project applications. Stick to native apps is now my motto with similar links as above. Keep it simple.
