> May I ask what software you use for your note-taking?
I just changed my computer from Linux to OSX so things have changed recently. I used to use gedit. Which was great!
I know I can get it on OSX too, I'm giving nvim another try first though.
> I tried different software, including VS, atom, vim, and TextEdit, but each has something that I don't like. For example, VS doesn't have a dictionary.
The point of using one big text file is to use a very simple tool get things done. Since the tool is simple, it won't be able to do a lot of things for you - but I think a part of the point is to embrace that. Apply the same logic to your text editor!
> Also, can you share how you structure your file in terms of days, tasks, topics (headings, etc.)
This is roughly what it looks like: ```
Meet with @BarakObama - His new book has sold over 10M copies - He dictated the audio book himself, the audio version is selling better than the print!
Quick answer to a comment on Reddit. There was a mention of VS code again. It ties in with a short video which mentioned VS code with vim bindings as a simple solution for text editing.
Notes. ```
Basically, I open the file every day and document almost any task I do which takes longer than 10 min. At the bottom of the file I have some other headings for things like Book Notes. Otherwise, search is my friend.
What does your file look like?
