My Custom Shortcuts:
I've created two custom shortcuts to enhance the system:
Today Link shortcut - quickly copy links to today's journal

Today's Note with Weather - automatically add time/weather/location data
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/16fe...
What You'll Learn:
How the Home Note works as your central hub for all information
Setting up Projects, Areas, and Resources sections
Tags vs Folders: which system works better for you
Apple Shortcuts that make setup painless
Journal setup with 366 daily notes (and why it's both amazing and challenging)
Recent Apple Notes features that make this possible: note linking, highlighting, collapsible sections
As someone with over 1,200 notes in Apple Notes, I share my honest take on whether it's worth restructuring an existing system or if this is best for people starting fresh.
