One Text Note to Rule Them All: A Simple, Effective Note-Taking System

For years, I've used a simple, yet surprisingly effective note-taking method I call "append-and-review." It involves a single text file named "notes" where all ideas and to-dos are appended to the top. Regular reviews involve moving important items to the top via copy-pasting, letting less important ones sink to the bottom. This approach is remarkably efficient, helping me organize thoughts, improve memory recall, and even unearth unexpected connections between old ideas.
