May I ask, how you organize your one big text file?

It's been around for quite some time and is not internally coherent, but it is optimized for search.

I always have Title and formatted date (2020-04-04) and then some text for the note. I make effort to include keywords as part of my notes, not formal hashtags. Sometimes I just add new notes to the end, sometimes I make the effort to put a new note in the middle of the file next to related note. Bit of a mess, but works with search.
