Hello there,
I am new to Bear and excited about its potential; especially for organizing research and notes effectively. I am currently using it for my academic studies and personal projects; but I feel like I might not be utilizing its features to the fullest.
Specifically; I am interested in learning how others manage their research materials within Bear.
How do you approach tagging? Do you have a hierarchical system; or do you rely more on flat tagging? How granular do you get with your tags?
Do you keep all your notes in a single workspace; or do you separate them into different notebooks? How do you decide what goes where?
When dealing with longer documents or research papers; do you keep them in Bear; or do you link to external files? How do you manage version control and updates?
Are there any external tools or apps you use in conjunction with Bear to enhance your workflow? Any tips on seamless integration?
What are your tips for quickly finding specific information within Bear? Do you rely more on tags; search operators; or other techniques?
For notes and research that you might need to refer back to months or years later; how do you ensure they remain accessible and organized over time?
I am eager to hear about your experiences and any tips or best practices you have developed. Feel free to share screenshots of your setup if that helps illustrate your workflow.
Also, I have gone through this post: https://blog.bear.app/2022/10/bear-your-way-take-better-notes-for-the-student-in-all-of-us/uipath which definitely helped me out a lot.
Ultimately; I am aiming to optimize my use of Bear for research heavy tasks and would greatly appreciate any insights you can offer.
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
