It's a total blank slate, so when you create your personal workspace, you'll need to read some sample pages showcasing the building blocks philosophy. It's intuitive, for sure, but you need some background to leverage its powers. Since it's using that frame of reference, it's easier to pick up and understand how to organize your notes without a lot of exploration or learning. In a way, the user experience feels like a digitalization of what you might do in the analog world with a notebook and pen. If that isn't enough, you can also tag notes to easily find them across notebooks. As your collection grows larger, you'll have to create a couple of notebooks to separate your thoughts by topic or project. Once you're finished, you can see all these notes in a list, with a title and preview of the contents. Here's the routine: click or tap New, pick which kind of note or task you want to record, and start creating.
