+### Debugging
+
+If the script doesn't work for you for some reasons, you can turn on debugging by running the script like this:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG=true notes.sh [options]
+```
+
+And then you'll be able to check all that happened in the log file at `/tmp/debug_bash-notes.log`
+

 Ok, maybe vision is a bit of a stretch, but I've written this script to use it in my daily workflow with [rofi](https://github.com/davatorium/rofi) and [i3wm](https://github.com/i3/i3). I'll adapt the way it works to better suit this need of mine.
