(Archived) Suggestion(s) needed - Organization

[TigerMe 1]

Hi folks,

I'm taking on a new role inside my company and it's a good time to re-organize my tags, notebooks, etc.

I have things as follows

Notebook stacks for old job, new job, home

notebooks for specific areas

tags for more specifics

A lot of my tags are relevant in my new job but I don't want to mix notes from my old job with notes in my new role. I sort of want things separated.

I thought about updating every tag with some sort of "marker" so signify "old" but that could take a while.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks!

Just a suggestion, but if you add a date variable to your searches - "show me notes tagged with 'safety instructions' created/ updated after 18 November" wouldn't that solve your problem, without any need to change the tags you're familiar with?

Definitely an option. Thanks for replying.

Other ideas from the group?

From your description above, what I would do is rename the old-job-tag. IE, if you have a tag for both jobs that is "projects", rename the "projects" tag to "projects - old job" then create a new tag called "projects". FWIW, I've run into some issues when renaming tags & creating new tags with the former name. This was a couple of years ago so may no longer be an issue. But...I still do this. I rename the tag, sync. Then wait a day or two & then create the new tag.
