Workflowy, a relatively new info-organizing tool, is well worth investigating for a more multilayered, text-driven approach to organization. Workflowy allows you to organize projects into a series of bullet-pointed lists. That simple but surprisingly powerful structure will enable you to visualize your data as an “infinite document,” with multiple connected layers that can be collapsed or expanded with a single tap.
You can even open any individual bullet point within Workflowy as a standalone document and work on it as if it were a separate Word or Google Docs file. Aside from the fundamentals, Workflowy has some quality tools for intricate organization, such as a tagging system that allows you to easily link different bullet points together and a mirroring system that enables specific bullet points to appear in multiple places.
It also includes a robust collaboration system for sharing entire lists or individual bullet points with others as viewable and optionally editable web links.
How Does Workflowy Function?
Workflowy works differently than other more traditional note-taking apps. There are no pages in Workflowy. Instead, there is a single page that can be used endlessly.
A bullet list represents every task, and by clicking on the bulleted task, you can add additional functions beneath it. You can add different tasks beneath the subtask. It is similar to an infinite task hierarchy.
