General notes either go into "Plot Ideas" or "General Topic".
In-game I generally take notes on paper or in Evernote and the transfer them to the appropriate topic. Usually I add a date snippet titled "In-Game Date" that way important events and encounters appear on the timeline. The reveal history is can also be viewed as a timeline but an in-game date snippet gives me a more useful summary of what happened in the game that I can easily review before the next session to remind me what happened in the last session.
I used to use the the game-session notes in the manage realm area religiously, but I've found them to be clunky and they lack the autolinking and other contextual tools that topics give you.
