I have tried many things to get organized. Tried out many many different to-do-list apps (Things, AnyDo), feature-rich notes-taking apps (Evernote, OneNote). None of these really worked for me. I gather a lot of little things and to-dos during my usual days. Always on the go, I need really fast and simple synchronization between all my devices.Most of the fancy to-do-list apps offer great features and -at least on iOS- really nice user interfaces. Overall I had some issues with inconsistent user experiences across the various devices. For example I have set up reminders or specific dates or places in an iOS app but on an Android phone the data would look different. Also I regularly use work PCs (etc.) thus a simple web frontend is essential for me. Some of the apps use Dropbox for synchronization but don't have a specific web frontend for viewing or editing the data.The big solutions like evernote and OneNote are simply too feature rich for me. There is so much to do and to try out that I easily get distracted. Also among tags and folders and collections and so on it is much harder to set up a simple stack of things to keep me organized.So once again I realized the solution which works absolutely best for me is: Simplenote. It's a plain and simple notes solution (by the way from the makers of wordpress). It is fast and intuitive. It gives you a list of text-only notes, a simple search function and a compact system to tag the notes. There some useful advanced features but the true beauty of Simplenote is really its simplicity. It is plain text, it is very quick and synchronization with pretty much all platforms and apps is fast and seamless.

For 'old school' classic Desktop style windows, there is no native Simplenote app. Thus I had a quick look for a nice piece of software which could handle the job. I found a piece of software which is perfect for the job and an absolute joy to use:ResphNotesIt is a sleek and classy Windows application it synchronizes quickly and seamlessly with Simplenote's servers and it makes it easy to manage hundreds of notes. I have been using it for almost two years now and it supported my daily chaos really well. It was reliable and fast and never disappointed.If you are looking for a nice and fast windows application to manage text notes you must give it a try!
