We're following breaking news out of your iPhone today where several high value ideas are being held hostage in the Notes app. Sources say they've been held for weeks with no context, no labels, and no clear exit strategy. I used to drop my best ideas into the Notes app like Apple was going to pay me. Spoiler, they didn't. So I decided to turn my chaos into a system. Between Claude, ChatGPT, and a million tabs, I got tired of not knowing what was going on with my project. So I started a folder in Notes to keep track of the bigger picture. Here's my system. First I made a folder, gave it a label. Inside I added a series of notes split into logical pieces so nothing gets lost in the noise. My brand voice, audience profile, content strategy, and personal life. Everything stays in its own lane. Then I created an index for all my notes, linked everything together, and pinned this right at the top. So I can easily get to anything I need and update it whenever I want. Then I connected this with my AI team. So when I'm on my laptop, ChatGPT can see every update. Claude can actually get into the notes, make edits, and even update after our conversation. So now Claude can update your LinkedIn content guidelines, and ChatGPT can write the actual post. And when I'm on my phone, Shortcuts connects my notes to Claude or ChatGPT. So no matter what AI tool I use, they're all working from the same playbook. So no, Apple Notes isn't just a digital graveyard for my best ideas anymore. Now it's where my AI shows up to work. Make sure you follow for ongoing updates to the Notes app hostage crisis. Back to you.
