In Microsoft OneNote you can have multiple icons, not only for a different item, but for paragraphs within an item. This is similar to having multiple tags associated with an item - all visible from the surface of the interface (meaning you don't have to open an item to see the icons).
Thus I can have an icon associated with importance. I can have another icon associated with subject are (personal versus business versus charity work, etc.)
Multiple differentiators on the surface of the interface CAN lead to clutter if done poorly, but if done with clutter in mind, the differentiators can be made sufficiently subtle that I can see at a glance what is in front of me before opening the item.
