I do a couple techno-gizmo things that other people haven't mentioned:
For things that have a hard expires-after-opening date, I'll set my reminders app with reminders like "Throw out cream" with a defer date/time* of 8 AM one week later and a due date of 5 PM one week later. Typing "+1w" (cream) or "+90d" (pepitas salsa) twice is way easier than doing the math in my head. Plus, if I want multiple days of being reminded to use an expiring ingredient, I can just pull the defer date back a few days.
I do most of my baking-type cooking with a recipe I've written or at least transcribed into my favorite outliner software. I've generally found that if I can reorder steps with a pinky-knuckle drag right then and there, I'll be able to optimize the steps in the next batch before I forget the changes I want to make.
Also, "Hey Siri, open auto-lock settings" is pretty handy if you don't want to fight a narcoleptic iGizmo every few minutes.
* In Omnifocus, a task's defer date is the date when it starts showing up on your to-do lists.
I don't have any of my own handy that I can share, but these are two good examples.
Basically, it's a structured, tiered outline of what the essay is about, one paragraph at a time. For each of the body paragraphs, I dump all of my ideas and questions and shuffle them around a little to see how they might work best together.
I use OmniOutliner for this, because I like how it's a dedicated tool that kind of focuses my attention. There's also an outline mode in MS Word that you can use, and probably a bunch of free online tools for outlining as well.
I'm a big fan of everything that OMNI puts out (I use OmniFocus probably more than literally any other productivity app) and they have OmniOutliner which seems in the same vein as WriteMapper.
While it might not be quite as feature-rich as Omni's offering, you win big with the price being substantially more manageable for most users. I used OmniOutliner for awhile some time back and didn't see myself really using it enough to continue, but your app might be easier to justify and keep using. I may have to give it a download.
> They don’t make an OmniOutliner for iPhone
Actually, they do!
I still fall back to the Mac, though, because anything more than trivial text entry on an iOS device is cumbersome.
u/sam_rowlands, Yes - I think you're right. My suspicion is also, as you say, that some daemon finds that something from the list of files in that (pseudo?) directory is missing and downloads it again onto the local machine.

>What if you delete the file from the iCloud Drive folder that you see where clicking on iCloud Drive in the Finder sidebar
That's the snag - the reason I want to delete the directory in question is that it doesn't show up in the Finder under iCloud Drive, and I need it to.
I've several times uninstalled and re-installed the app in question (<em>OmniOutliner</em>); but it never works. Thanks!
I use OneNote and I think it's great, especially for law school. You could try OmniOutliner, but I actually ended up switching back to OneNote after a week of using it.
Word sucks for taking notes - it gets slow if you have a document with a ton of pages.
OmniOutliner
I've been using this for a bit over a decade now, it's an outlining program that I organize all my projects in. From months-long software architecture to the handful of things I need to do before I travel I always go to OmniOutliner.
For project management across a team (which it sounds like you may or may not be doing) Jira is pretty alright as well, and I tend to use that when multiple people need to keep track of the progress of jobs and complex jobs need to be broken down into dependent steps.
