In search of a project note organization system for Windows
February 11, 2011 9:25 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for a Windows-based (or online/multi-platform) program to organize my various notes, with the ability to sort by contact name, contact phone number, project name, and date(s). More thoughts inside.
I take calls and make notes to myself about a variety of ongoing projects. My projects have individual names, and there could be a variety of people associated with those projects. And there are some people who work on a number of projects, some projects completely unrelated, yet running concurrently.
I would like to be able to quickly jump to the information I entered or received on a certain date, regardless of project, or sort project information by date and contact, or sort information from/about a contact across projects. Is there any database + notation system like this that exists for personal use? Or should I work on a personal system that is more orderly? Thanks!

Evernote is great, but since you talked about contacts, Highrise HQ might work too. You need to pay if you're running multiple projects, though.

Batchbook is similar to Highrise, but with better tagging. They have a free plan for 200 contacts.
