My thought is to arrange all this in external plain text files initially, with the outline organization being in Leo, leaving the files external (eventually that is. Sound like fun? You don't have to answer that. Perhaps there's a book or two or three there, but to find such a book or books will require that all this be organized so I can see it, access it, massage it, move clips around, stack them up, try things, remember things I wrote 20 years ago. I hope to cluster topics under a few (perhaps 25) main headings, some number of sub-headings, and individual topics with all notes on each topic stacked together. I want to sort through the mess, clip notes out by topic and organize them such that I can readily access anything and everything. My project, which will undoubtedly take a couple of years, is to class and organize all notes into a "thoughtbase", perhaps comparable in some ways to a Zettelkasten.
I suspect Leo is better than org mode for my needs but who am I to know? Is it? Org mode has been recommended to me but I have not undertaken it. I switched to writing in Vim a few years ago, and am now writing in Spacemacs. What's not in Word is mostly in text files. If you're concluding it's a mess, you are right (though it could be worse). For years I wrote in Word, often using outline format, usually writing most notes in one file per year, in outline format. Generally my files are named by date rather than topic, though I have perhaps a few hundred by topic. Most of my journal files have notes on multiple topics. Here's the problem: I've been journaling for 25 years, writing thoughts, notes, ideas on probably hundreds of topics, and totaling probably a few million words in a few thousand files.

I've looked for years for a software to help me organize my notes and ideas. But it looks like Leo's flexibility in outlining may be unsurpassed and may be what I'm looking for. I'm hoping folks here can tell me if I'm even knocking on the right door by looking at Leo. I'm raising my hand here because perhaps Leo's outlining/organizing capabilities may be what I need.
My intended usage for Leo is organizing notes & ideas. Uh, complete newbie here, and I feel like I'm walking into a high end programmers convention here and raising my hand red-faced to ask for a bit of kindergarten help.
