Common Workarounds

Workarounds

Prefix hacks

People create labels like Work/ProjectA or Work-ProjectA to mimic folders, but it becomes hard to maintain as labels grow.

Too many flat labels

A long list of labels forces constant scrolling and makes it hard to keep a mental map of where things belong.

Duplicate labels

Without structure, similar labels proliferate and consistency breaks over time.

04

Why Workarounds Break

Break Reasons

  • Keep users often recreate notebook-like structure through manual label patterns.
  • Flat labels complicate long-term archival and branch clarity.
  • As volume grows, taxonomy consistency requires significant manual effort.
05

Structured Solution

Solution Explanation

Apply a strict hierarchy model in Keep when speed matters, and use external systems only when native depth is mandatory.
