I was searching for exactly the same stuff yesterday, and I found this: http://lifehacker.com/five-best-paper-notebooks-1157038442 http://lifehacker.com/five-best-paper-notebooks-1157038442 I usually keep notebooks, but I am ever more convinced of using one because of Rich hickey's talk: https://youtu.be/f84n5oFoZBc https://youtu.be/f84n5oFoZBc and we have a better chance of remembering something if we write than type. http://lifehacker.com/5738093/why-you-learn-more-effectively-by-writing-than-typing http://lifehacker.com/5738093/why-you-learn-more-effectively.... I have previously read that people like Martin Gardner had an awesome system of keeping notes. I would love to know more about your tips. How do keep your notes? How do you organize stuff, while retaining the freedom to doodle. How do you find stuff again(which is the killer feature for typed notes). Would love to learn from the masters - do you have any books to recommend?

I've always had a difficult time keeping notes organized. I think because I'm a web developer I always have a gazillion projects going on. I can't justify having a notebook for each project. I've tried keeping up manilla folders with loose leaf papers, but that was a mess. I tried three-ring binders, but that's not very convenient. A few weeks ago I tried the bullet journal technique and it's been working out well for me. It combines your daily calendar / todo list with project notes. I think it's just the simple idea of having an index that helps me most.
