Create a Tag System
After signing into Kernels, the first thing you should do is create a Tag structure. Tags make it easier to find with searches or associate it with other notes you'll write.
This tag structure will help you find your notes instantly -even if you have thousands. And you can create a detailed organization with parent/child notes.
Example Tag System
Parent Tag
- Destination
Child tag
- Hotel
- Restaurants
- Flights
- Parking
- Activities
Parent/child examples
- San Diego
- San Diego/Hotel
- San Diego/Restaurants
- San Diego/Flights
If you search parent tags with child tags (i.e., San Diego), all notes from San Diego (Destination) will appear.
