My go to way of taking notes is sending messages to myself. Previously with Signal’s “Note to self” and now with my own channel with Element. It is fast way of taking notes, but horrible in long run since you cannot group notes or add tags or anything else that you would expect from good note taking tool. I have Nextcloud notes, but I still do it since I am used to it and it is fast way of syncing notes with mobile and PC. Anyone else has interesting ways of keeping notes?

My wife does this, except she sends the messages to me
Yeah my husband does this to me too. One time he was camping and texted me just a person’s name with no other context. Like are you about to be murdered and this is the main suspect??
I use Google keep for stuff like that. Available everywhere I have a connection.
Note taking app isn’t accessible on every device like email so I get it
I’m all about Signal’s Note to Self.
Came here to post that. Such a damn convenient way to send notes and links between my phone and desktop.
Had a manager who used to send notes intended for himself to our team chat. Psychotic behaviour.
Every phone has a note app. No matter how stupid you are, it works. But if messages to yourself floats your boat: why not.
Someone needs to get the bright idea of an app that is a notes app designed to function like a messaging app.
You can “message yourself” immediately or set a time delay so that the message comes in after a given amount of time, or at a certain time, or under certain conditions. You can tell messages to repeat until you finally address the contents.
An extra-sinister idea would be an option to set messages to come in like a phone call. Make a message titled BOSS that repeated every morning. That’ll get you up.
Better yet: Send messages to random people in your contact list who have no clue what you‘re talking about. That way you can even categorize your notes by importance.
