> I find the idea of breaking thoughts into little bits very awkward when I mostly work with philosophical books, where the priority is the relation of a concept to the others in the same book
Then don't! I'd just make a file node for each book and take regular notes within that.
> I also like to divide my notes into folders based on their author
You could roam-tag them or link them to a page for the author. I've only been using roam for about 2 weeks, but so far, I set up my file nodes like so:
#+filetags: :tags:othertags:
#+title: Something Interesting
This is a brief description of something interesting. It's just a sentence or two.
Links: [[id:12345][Something related]], [[id:23456][Very cool stuff]], [[id:34567][Absolutely amazing things]]
* First section
* Second section
And so on. It works pretty well so far.
> a super powered todo list or bullet journal
My main problem is I keep changing themes and the format/way I take notes. I haven't actually messed with my agenda or anything in about 6 months, and if I do, it's usually just something minor like adding a new group or sorting by lowest effort.
