I found that I was spending more time formatting my notes than writing them. I like the sidebar navigation that Coda provides, but I hate how slow Coda is. I like how fast Google Docs is, but I don't like knowing that all my data goes to their servers; who knows what they are doing with my data?
That's when I decided to create Really Simple Notes. It's an offline-only, no-formatting notes app with a sidebar to navigate notes.
I've found that as I use it for personal notes, my productivity has increased significantly. I'm no longer fretting over formatting or waiting for things to load. I'm just writing notes.
The app is totally free, so I hope you'll give it a try!
