If the answer is “yes” to any of the above,
read this page carefully.
I WAS ONCE A (VERY) DUMB
NOTE-TAKER…
Hi, I’m Matt Giaro, and I’ve been taking digital notes for 13 years.
And 10 of them were totally wasted.
Do you know why?
Because my system SUCKED.
Some of my symptoms:
- I never revisited my notes
- I struggled to organize my notes
- I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for quickly
Those are just some of the frustrations I encountered over the years.
But I reached a point where these frustrations all hit a point of no return.
I had to find a solution. And became OBSESSED about it.
I started examining WHY my system sucked.
First, I thought the reason was because of the apps I was using…
So I switched between different apps like a monkey in a circus.
Result: Zilch. Nada. Nothing.
I realized that blaming the app was NOT the real problem.
The real problem was all about ONE thing…
STRUCTURE!
What do I mean by structure?
It’s all about understanding when exactly to use folders, tags, or links.
Think of them as tools for different purposes.
If you want to chop down a tree, better to have an axe rather than just a hammer.
Tags and folders work for some types of notes… But they don’t work with ALL notes.
Here’s an example:
When brainstorming a new project, you use your notes like a scratchpad… not sure if you’ll keep everything you jotted down for future usage. Most of the time, 90% of that will go to waste. So that type of information doesn’t make sense to be linked to anything else.
Some other information like your car’s VIN, tax information, or medical visits record also doesn’t make sense to be connected to anything…
Instead, they’re just notes to be retrieved when needed.
Those notes are what I call “dumb notes.”
That’s why I still like to use tags and folders for specific purposes…
But most notes I take come from books, online courses, and other value-packed sources.
Those notes include knowledge that I intend to reuse in the future to become a better version of myself and propel my projects forward.
Those are what I call “smart notes.”
And it makes perfect sense to connect those notes together.
The reason is that our brains are hard-wired to link information.
I then went down a rabbit hole to understand how to use links.
I took up everything I could read about the Zettelkasten…
I looked up all the different classification systems out there.
But every “system” I found suffered from being either INCOMPLETE or too COMPLICATED.
Complicated because the structure seemed too artificial, with unclear boundaries, and required just too much mental bandwidth to make sense of it…
And incomplete because I wasn’t able to find a system that solves the problem of embracing the versatility of notes we need to take on a daily basis…
All these systems suffer from the same bias: it’s either “with or against me…”. Either black or white. It’s either folders OR links…
But as with many things in life, the truth is within a spectrum of grey.
Your notes are no exception.
I found that the best way to take meaningful notes is to acknowledge that not ALL notes are created EQUAL.
On one side, it’s great to link notes together… but on the other, you still need to save notes within a specific context.
Some information, by nature, needs to be combined. And some just to be retrieved.
So I asked myself: what if I could come up with a SIMPLE system to handle ALL types of notes?
- A system that is EASY to maintain…
- A system that doesn’t require committing to weekly reviews…
- And a system that can anyone could set up FAST?
After several months of trial and error, I came up with what I call a HYBRID system.
A new way to organize your notes with a HYBRID SYSTEM that combines folders, tags, and links
Hybrid because:
- It combines both dumb and smart notes.
- It uses tags, folders, and links to get the most out of every possible structure.
- It can handle all aspects of both your personal and professional life…
I went through many iterations to find the right twist to it.
And I’ve battle-tested it myself for the past 3 years.
It’s a system that allows you to get the best out of both worlds:
“The tags and folders world,” i.e., the world of classification…
And the “linking world”: because this is how our brain naturally functions.
I’m sharing the details of every step inside my new program called…
