Much of the backlash to these tools seems to assume that they require significant devotion and time.

I just use it to store my stuff. I don't spend much time organising it.

I had trouble organising my data in folders, so I tried Bear Notes, and it helped.

From there, I just came up with a few conventions to deal with the problems that emerged over time - similarly to how someone would define their personal folder-hierarchy. For example, having a page for every contact helped, because I often find myself looking for "that thing that Tom showed me".

But the biggest advantage is that whatever I'm looking for is in one location, only a short full-text search away.

I have 5000 notes - most of them are useless. But it costs me nothing to keep them.
