Start with native Keep
Steps
- In Keep, create labels for your top categories.
- Add consistent prefixes if staying fully native.
- Re-label notes so each one fits a single path.
- Review weekly to fix naming drift.

What to keep in mind
- Google Keep does not support true folder objects.
- Prefix-only systems hide hierarchy in text.
- As labels grow, maintenance cost increases.
4
A scalable method
Treat labels as a hierarchy layer with clear parent-child relationships so folders are represented by structure instead of fragile naming hacks.
