Hi
What tool(s) do you good people use for general-purpose list management?
I need to create pretty large files (containing say 10,000+ records), containing multi-level hierarchical factual information on a wide variety of subjects.
e.g. Evernote (which I have never used seriously myself - but I think it's USP is to allow the tagging of external files such as images...)
e.g. MindManager (which fairly well - but it's going to get messy presenting such huge files visually. Also renewal fees are expensive.)
e.g. MLO (MyLifeOrganised) - presumably in a different .ML file from your task & to-do lists.
e.g. MS Excel (but no quick & easy way to move things around the hierarchy, me thinks)
I am thinking about what you might call "support lists" for some of my projects. The information contained would NOT be actionable (mostly at least).
For example:
- List of areas & facts about a huge project I am involved with... and important information about the different sections of the project.
- Lists of jargon on new subjects that I am studying
- Lists of personal insights on various topics that I need to record somewhere
- Lists of people interested in particular subjects
- List of interesting general knowledge facts, that I'd like to remember...
etc etc
It would be important to be very easily be able to create tree-like hierarchical structures in the data, and to be able to whiz things up and down the hierarchy v easily (e.g. using hotkeys) too.
Ideally it would be nice to have links between branches of the tree(s) too (which I don't think MLO can do[??])
- How do you manage your non-actionable lists?
