I have been using bear notes for the past 5 months and absolutely loving the simplicity of it. I am able to process more output rather than baby-sitting my system like other apps. Let’s discuss how you guys use bear notes, what’s your organization system, etc. collectively here so that we get inspiration here. Also I would love to know how the actual creators of bear use bear notes xD, would be nice to know your workflow too.

I don’t think I use Bear the way power users do. Consider also, we were kinda fine with Bear 0.1 alpha feature set 
I have ~100 notes, 8 root tags, and 20+ subtags, mostly concerning work projects and Shiny Frog, but with a few personal tags. My work notes are mostly pieces of information useful for my work or taken during conferences, workshops, online lectures… The second category of notes I can identify is to-do notes, mostly for Bear and related projects, but also for personal stuff.
I have 2 (now globally) pinned notes I use daily: One is for Bear and is a snapshot of what we have to do for the current and next release, and the other is titled “Stuff to do” and it’s an ongoing note with my daily errands, books/comics/movie/series I (may) want to watch/read, and other activities.

Wouldn’t call myself a power user either, but I managed to build me a system that works for me. First, I did set it up as my personal database with hashtag lists like bucket list or projects. Then I started journalling by writing things under the day’s date, using tags and [[ referencing. Each paragraph gets a bullet point. If the note requires some action in the near future I make a return and put a simple tickbox and the word ‘action’ in the next line. That’s it. Once per week I revisit the todo items. I don’t use Bear for short term or temporary notes or todo lists though. Just for the stuff that is worth keeping.
