How do you keep this synchronized between devices? I had tried this with a git repo but pull/pushing before/after jotting down a note on my phone got tedious.


I have disciplined myself to do it only one way. That is enough, and keeps it simple for most purposes. Copy from the phones and other devices, paste to the main device. It being just one file makes it much easier to do so. It is backed up regularly using rsync, as part of my daily backup of everything.

The hardest part - for me, at least - was to let go of the myth of the need for multi-directional syncing.


I think manual copying would kill it for me. I'm just back and forth between multiple devices throughout the day and it seems like that would amount to a lot of copying. Although there's only one of me, so there's never a need to merge. So it's not really multi-directional syncing, it's more like broadcast from whatever I'm using currently to everything else.
