I use three main Tinderbox notebooks: one is for my daily notes (journal, notes for my blog, work notes, notes for some projects, and so on); one is for my tasks and projects and in this case, Tinderbox is a personal assistant in which I archive tasks and contacts I will have to remember of; one is for my reading notes. When I have to write something, I start by writing down my thoughts into the first notebook. This is the first phase of a work and I use to write using Map view: I often open some windows (cmd + x) in order to write the text of my notes and rearrange my notes in the map. Then, when I have a lot of notes and see emerging some structure, I open a new fresh Tinderbox work file and reorder the whole. If I had to use one big Tinderbox document, it would be for another big project such as a book or an academic work. But as Greg Korgeski said, I do like too the idea of a “commonplace book” where I could gather all my notes.
