Apply it to Google Keep
- Domains: broad knowledge areas with long-term value.
- Topics: focused branches inside each domain.
- Synthesis: evergreen summary notes for key concepts.

Example structure

Hierarchy
- School
- School → Semesters
- School → Semesters → Spring
- School → Courses

Limits of a flat label list
- Flat labels make topic relationships harder to maintain over time.
- Evergreen summaries compete with transient notes for visibility.
- Retrieval weakens when topic boundaries are not explicit.

Put the structure into practice
Build domain-topic hierarchies and keep synthesis notes pinned to preserve long-term knowledge usability.
