Love a system! And your comment that the app is there ‘to be reminded that once upon a time I did have an idea and I will again very soon.’ Is the best reason ever to be organised.
You’ve saved lives today (mine) I’ve never had a problem generating ideas - but I’ve always suffered greatly trying to organize/access them. Thank you so much for sharing your system! which I will be implementing today (also have to mention your throw away pretend ideas are actually really compelling wtf)
Molly your comment was what made me wanna share ! Thank you ! I’m sure there are many finer systems but I will say that the writers I know who have tried it have seen results (it’s my version of when the Kardashians show their pantry)
"The Ice Man Goeth (pitch to Jacob Elordi)" - i feel like i've seen something i shouldn't have, like a sneak peak at something so beautiful it's perverse
love this. i recently had to move from notes app to google docs bc i'm working across too many devices and emails and i hate it. the app isn't as fun to organize or easy to look at when i'm, like, on a plane
Thank you so much for understanding- it was like a fever dream, that coming from my mind to my hands. Btw calling Elordi to pitch Iceman Goeth would be the most amazing humiliating dare in truth or dare…
Oh my goodness this was amazing. I just organized my Notion, this has inspired me to organize my NotesApp aka my digital junk drawer. THANK YOU, LENA! :)
I like it! You honestly have a fab Notes system so you might not need it, but I use it bc it has nice add-ons for project organization. For example, I can create a list of story ideas and their drafts in the same place. The drafts are like trendy Google docs bc you can add images, change colors, add little check box lists etc easily. I also have a "counter" where I count the paintings or art projects I work on. Or days I exercise... which is not as many, lol.
Love this thank you Lena - have just completely rearranged my notes app which was a sprawling list of miscellaneous titles into a much smaller neater system .. already feel more organised
Well Jaysus, Mary and Holy St Joseph, I am a luddite boomer and this is a goddam revelation Lena. Thankyou for your generosity in sharing the Byzantine genius of your amazing brain workings! I’m mind blown and intimidated and dare I say a little bit braver to dip my toe in.

Thank you Bec! If only I could muster it for my closet, purse or soul…
All I’ve ever written (as an adult) has been made possible because of the Notes app. Truly an underrated tool!

Love this!! And very much wish “A Secular Bitch” was a real show that I could watch!
Now I keep wondering who IS this secular bitch…

Oh god this is like 7th grade being asked to kiss Mike Gelinas with my braces still on (shout out to Mike Gelinas who said “don’t make her”)

Thank YOU- should I use Notion at all? Is it cool?

I use Notion more simply, but this is a good tutorial if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os0V5ADLVjM&t=3s
My mind gave such a sigh of relief. I feel like I’ve just discovered the wheel! Thank You

Wowwwwww 10 out of 10 out of 10
Emmaaaa- guess what’s in my NotesApp after a chaotic week? Email Emma!!!
😇😇😇
This was sooo needed Lena! Thank you for your service 🫡
I honestly thought I was the only one who ever feels stuck, as if I’m cursed to never have another good idea.
Love this thank you Lena - have just completely rearranged my notes app which was a sprawling list of miscellaneous titles into a much smaller neater system .. already feel more organised
Truly a gift to know more about your process.
Thank you Molly! If I could read only about writers writing I think it’d be enough for me (okay and the occasional Tinder Swindler…)
Thank you for changing my life today! 💜 so excited to dig into NotesApp transformation.
Plz let us know how it goes!!!

Thank you Liz! I’m a Luddite too- I’m sure someone has a much more high tech way- but this has really kept me honest
Cancelling everything to reorganize my notes app today! So many ideas have been lost the notes abyss. Thank you for this gift.
