Using Yojimbo for lists - Am I doing it right?
Dinis Correia
I've been using Yojimbo for some time, but mainly for archiving PDFs,
serial numbers and passwords. Recently I've been trying to use it to
keep some lists - say, movies I want to see, book I want to read, etc.
So, quick question: for example, when storing book titles, should I
just keep *one* note with all the book titltes as a list on that note?
Or is it better to have a smart collection and just keep each book
title as a single note?
How do you guys use it?

I created a tag collection called books, and when there's a book I
want to read, I look it up on the web, and then put the bookmark (or
webarchive or PDF of the page) into Yojimbo's library, and tag it
book. That way, not only do I have a running list (one library item
per), but I also have a reference when I forget what it was about that
book that made me want to read it.

Depends on what you store really, and how you gather the information.
If, say, I saw something on Amazon which sounded good, I would want to
just be able to drag a bookmark to the drop dock, so in that case it
would probably be a collection of some sort with individual items for
each book or film.
On the other hand I have a list of "essential software" that I
recommend to people who've recently bought Macs, and that's just one
note, with hyperlinks to the relevant sites within the document. I
need to be able to see all of that at once rather than paging between
notes.
