Well this reflects a problem I suffer and I was thinking of developing an app that only has an icon and a text next to it. My extra categories are: Question/Ask - things I should ask someone later generally myself, Tend - things I should tend to at work. The basic symbol gives an idea about what kind of a note this is, and the text gives the details. I don't like messy note taking in a text editor, and I really don't want the friction you mentioned. Since I don't have something I need I use a simple notebook and a pen until I have the time to build the app.
Thanks Ahmet for yout reply! Yeah, having symbolic icons for categories would be very helpful as visual cues could speed up browsing through the notes.
Frankly, I am thinking of building an app too :)
