  • Unlike Evernote, Google Keep does not have notebooks or a folder structure. So how do you organize all your notes? Here are the 2 main methods of managing your notes in Keep.

    I also use Keep for brief, short term notes. I settled on Google Keep over Evernote & OneNote because it's simple and seemed less clicky than other programs. I like the fact that I can show multiple notes simultaneously and read the short notes without clicking on them. And I've had better luck syncing with Android than with OneNote. The Chrome browser extension works well on my Windows machine. Using the Keep desktop app on Windows rather than the browser app allows me to access my stuff offline.
    It could be better though. Here's the feedback I sent to Google on how to improve Keep:
    Add option to store/backup notes locally.
    Ability to Re-order Notes
    Ability to Re-order Label menu
    Voice recorder quits recording before I'm finished
    BACK/FWD buttons like on a web browser would be nice
    Undo button for any action
    Date stamp button

      I certainly can relate with your 'less clicky' comment. A number of other apps require too much interaction before you get to what you're looking for. And that looks like a great list of suggestions. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for sharing this info. Although I consider myself a Keep geek, I learned new things from your video today.
    Keep is one of my best handy tools. I used it for almost anything:
    - As a groceries checklist shared between me and my wife
    - As a task list 📃 for my team
    - As Business card organizer. Keep has a powerful OCR where you can search the text inside the photo taken. Not only that, keep allows you to search by type, like food or dinner, by objects, like table, beer etc...
    - I found it handy also while taking notes in trainings or conferences. I open a keep note, give it a title and start adding photos of slides, my notes and recordings.
    - and As a task reminder.
    You can also label and archive your notes and you'll find them from search.
    Hope my comment helps others get the maximum of their Keep.

  • @donsudduth
    @donsudduth Před 5 lety +18

    I use Keep for all of my research for writing academic papers. The key is to use labels at a category, topic and reference levels for the citation work and what information I'm gathering. For example if a paper I'm citing is from Johnson (2016) on Exoplanets, I would create my notes and use labels 'Astronomy', 'Exoplanet-Project' and '2016-Johnson'. Plus, I would create a separate note only for the reference with the same labels and one more - 'Exoplanet-References'. Then, once all of the research is done, I export the notes under 'Exoplanet-Project' to Google Docs in the Keep menu which combines them to a single document of notes then export 'Exoplanet-References' to another Google Doc of only references. Works really well for any written project.

    • @donsudduth
      @donsudduth Před 5 lety +3

      One thing to remember is that the Keep labels do not export to Google Docs unless you add them explicitly as hashtags. So if you have labels on notes that are far apart in Keep they won’t be next to each other when exported to Docs and you cannot link or copy paste them together unless you go back to Keep and find the matching notes. If you use the label hashtags then they show up in Docs and you can search in Docs on those hashtags for common themed notes to merge them together.

    This was a great video, short and sweet - very concise!
    I use two types of labels:
    1. type e.g. family, work, health, travel etc
    2. urgency e.g. current, upcoming
    The two levels of labels help me pick out exactly what I need to prioritise, and it is simple enough that I can apply it consistently.

    I am a long time user of Evernote, but I started using Keep on my phone for shopping lists, etc. I find myself using it for more things all the time. Evernote is best for web page clipping and formatting notes. I use bullet points, highlighting and more in my Evernote files. Keep is a great utility as well. Tip: You can select a label, hit Ctrl-A to select all the notes and then assign a color to all of them. Evernote also has the capability of importing PDF files, which is very useful.

    I have been color coding my google keep notes for last couple years and did not know I could search by color! This is life changing for me.
    Also, on the color coding method I have one note that is a list of what colors I have assigned to what type of note. I mostly use Google Keep for short notes like shopping lists, temporary notes, or repeating reminders or checklists. I use Evernote and OneNote for longer text notes. Great video...lots of helpful tips for this great free tool.

    Used Evernote in the past but have slowly gravitated to Keep as I use mainly Google apps in my Android phone anyway so it makes for an easy, seamless integration. One way I've been using my To Do List is to make it remind me daily at a specific time say at 9am. That way I can add things I need to do the day/night before and I get reminded at a certain time and work on getting things done throughout the day.

      I am the same way. I have tried so many planners and systems. I'm finding going digital is usually more effective. I still like writing and creating on paper, but It isn't always practical. Your videos have been so helpful. I use mine in a bit more of a detailed way. It functions as the top of my desk or the front of my brain. The way it integrates with docs is a bonus for sure.
      For my notes that need to be organized, easily accessed on a frequent or infrequent basis, I use Notebooks by Zoho. I'm visual, so creating the cover for each notebook is appealing. Thank you so much for your videos! @@Simpletivity

    I keep it organized by trashing or copying notes off the keep. Evernote or one note are best for web clipping. I use Google drive and their folders to deal with my information. At work I use an older computer and word 2010, windows 7. I use the chrome browser to use the MS office apps. I save my files to a work shared drive. I don't use Keep much at work because I usually have Word open, and use it to capture ideas. I use a pen and paper to take short notes of conversations or videos then make a digital file of them in Word.
    Keep is good for taking a photo and OCR. I use the title to create a filename to integrate it into my Drive.
    As differently as we think, we use keep almost the same way.

    In addition to not comparing note apps head to head because how we personally use them,
    It is even more so in how these note apps interact with other products - for example no need for folders when you can you link to tasks and calendar where as apple’s notes may need kore organization options. Good video!

    I did have pretty too much of labels, and one day they were out (!): they are not unlimited in quantity (50 or so).
    That was a surprise for me.
    So I went for even better - for inputting "code-words" in the title, that could be easely found when searched (powerful function in Keep).
    The only problem is - the low speed of search (maybe my own phone problem), but the quality of finding is very nice.😊
    So now I label only very-very general things "Project", "Idea", etc.

    I use keep to keep ideas. When I get an idea, I add a note, type in the idea. After I type the idea, I use the title as a future file name. For example, I get an idea how to inventory my tools. I type, tool inventory, hand, wrenches, metric, SAE, open-end,
    After I get the idea our my head, I use the Title to write 20170112-idea-tool-inventory.
    I use the save as feature to upload the file to Google docs. the Docs program will save the title as a file name.
    When I write I get other ideas, so I open a new note and write power tools, AC, Cordless, manufacturer, model numbers, then title the note 20170112. Sometimes I make about 8 notes at a time. On my computer browser I can select multiple notes and combine them into one Google doc which has the title of the first note selected.
    I used to use labels and colors to keep large amounts of information. I lost information by deleting a highlighted section instead of pasting it. There is no undo in Keep so that information is gone. I don't keep much in keep for that reason.
    I prefer the calendar for reminders. I prefer imputing the data right into Google calendar rather than using the keep function.
    I have too many passwords to remember. I have one note with all my passwords. I encrypt the numbers and words so the list is only good for me. If my wife saw this note it wouldn't make any sense to her unless I told her the key.
    I use keep to look at a quote until I memorise it or change it. I only keep about 10 notes . I either trash them or save them to Google docs.

    Google keep seems to be better for ad hoc "in-tray" type notes and memos, onenote is better for more in depth "reference" type notes and when you're working creatively. one note gives you a huge space and tons of freedom for moving things around and just making a collage of all kinds of information to work with.

    One important feature which I think is missing is ability to filter notes by multiple parameters. Like, if I want to see yellow notes which are tagged with "work" and not with "home" or "family", I don't think I can do that. And what if I want notes with 2 tags: "home" and "@computer". I don't think it is possible rith now.

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 7 lety +2

      Actually, you can search your notes within Keep for both of these scenarios. In your first example, click on the search bar which will give you a screen showing all of the filters for your notes (i.e. Types, Labels, Things, Colors). Then select Yellow. Now in the search bar, you can search just within this color. You can do the same thing for tags. However, the "search within" would also bring back notes that have that word within the note (not a true label).

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 7 lety +3

      Currently, there is no storage limit for Keep. Your Google storage limit only applies to Gmail, Drive, and Photos (not Keep).

    I've been looking around for new ways to do things, not because of privacy concerns, but I was having to dig too deep in my Evernote archive for little things. I want something that puts the things I need at this time on the surface and at a glance, and Keep does that pretty nice. Though I am having difficulty with managing projects and tasks. I have Wunderlist, something I love using, but Keep and Wunderlist both can server as great task managers. For projects, not single actions, what do you suggest? Evernote Keep, or Wunderlist?

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 7 lety

      Great question, Sander. My first suggestion would be to use the same application that is also your primary task manager. It's so valuable to be able to see both your individual tasks and big projects within the same application. That is one of the reasons why I often recommend Trello. Trello makes it easy to view both your tasks and projects without switching between screens. But with the 3 apps you mentioned, you could create something similar with a separate folder or space to manage tasks. And I'm sure there'll be some other great suggestions from the community here as well. Thanks for asking!

    I just Title each note, and make it a list. If you want to capture ideas 'Idea capture' or 'quotes' could be a list. After all, it's meant for reference, and to remind us of stuff we're meant to do. :)

    Hello
    I'd Like To Know If I Put A Label On A Note, Why It Doesn't Put The Note Into The Label Folder Automatically. I Feel It Would Give You More Room To Put More On And Help You Organize It. If You Could Give Me Some Type Of Answer I Would Appreciate It.
    Thanks
    Bob

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 4 lety

      When applying a label, it will put that note directly into that label's folder. However, it will not remove the note from the home screen.

  • @PeachPlastic
    @PeachPlastic Před 5 lety +1

    I only use the colors to color the labels, maybe that's not the most sensible way. It drives me insane that I can't re-order the notes, though, and if I want to visually recognise the different labels, I have to use colors that way. I'm a bit lost as to how to correctly organise all the various pinned web articles I found interesting enough to pin, but they're too random and don't always pertain to my labels. I do like Keep better than Evernote because of its simplicity, but I would love it if Keep had some type of folders. The scroll wall drives me a bit insane.

    when we make a reminder and if we share the note with someone will that person also get a reminder on the day and time i selected?

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 6 lety

      Great question. But it looks like the answer is no. I just did a quick test and the additional person would not have the same reminder attached.

    Hello,
    I'm Wondering In Google Keep Why Notes That Are Labeled Don't Go Into The Folder That You Have Named. I Know You Need A Name For The Folder But Some Don't Go Into The Folder I Have. I Was Also Wondering Maybe That Type Could Get Rid Of The Archive If Possible. Thanks Bob!

    I am having a really hard time organizing my lists the way I want to. I slide a list to a preferred position but when I back out of any list the lists I moved revert back to thier previous positions. It is quite frustrating, considering how long many of the lists are. How do I fix this?

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 6 lety +1

      Hi Aaron. I'd suggest that you make use of the pinning feature in Keep. This allows you to pin one or more notes to the top of the page and make sure that it stays at the top. You can find our more details in this video: czcams.com/video/0hoWfkyVsTs/video.html

    I was a loyal, paid Evernote user for many years. But their company and recent app revisions have been a complete train wreck recently. OneNote was promising but ultimately failed as well (far too buggy). Keep is at least free and reliable! Its OCR is pretty great, too, as expected from a search giant.

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for sharing your feedback. Yes, the speed of Keep (both search and navigation) is one of it's key benefits.

    My only concern is how to store the webpages: I know I can save them as PDF on Drive, but I wonder if there is another option.
    I'm talking about Keep and Drive too.
    Any idea?

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 7 lety +1

      Great question. However, I don't have a great answer in response. Perhaps someone here in the Simpletivity community has a tip to share regarding saving complete web pages in Keep or combination of Keep & Drive.

  • @Gratusgratus
    @Gratusgratus Před 5 lety

    Scott, I would like your opinion, or anyone else's, on what I am doing.
    1. I am a Ms Word fan, using an self-developed, extended auto-correct file (I think over a thousand own entries) and 22 text editing macros (self-developed) without which I simply cannot do my work, which includes a lot of writing. I grew with Word for Dos 4 (1989!) to Word 2016! Gmail's auto text expander extensions helps in Gmail, but there is no comparison with what I have in Ms Word's autocorrect, macros and styles functionality.
    2. I think I should return to Microsoft's One Note, and maybe return to Outlook, and ignore its pesky popups asking for my username and password which drove me into the arms of Gmail, Google Calendar and Keep in the first place.
    3. I am an ardent user of Trello, without which I also cannot do my planning.
    4. I will go on using my Gmail Calendar until I figure out how to use Outlook Calendar to two-way sync to my Android mobile. Microsoft drove me crazy when I tried to add my mobile number to my Ms account, but I suppose there should be a way.
    Like you said, note taking is something personal!

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 7 lety

      Great question, Eric. The search bar won't permit searching multiple labels. But you could use one of these 2 methods:
      1) search both labels without the '#'. This will bring all notes with both words but would also bring back any other notes with those 2 words in them.
      2) filter for 1 label and then search for the other label within it.

  • @mfeske
    @mfeske Před rokem

    Not good enough. It’s a complete pain to add a label as opposed to entering something in a folder or workbook which one can open and review. I was looking for an application without sync delays or other problems. In addition, there doesn’t appears to be a native nesting function for labels. Unfortunately this is not going to be it.

  • @jmcdwork
    @jmcdwork Před 5 lety +1

    Keep is useless to me unless they come up with a sharable folder structure, or make labels sharable. It makes it so that it is only useful for personal use. For business, you cannot collaborate anything but individual notes.

    • @Simpletivity
