When I started my first 'engineering' job at a chip startup over a decade ago, I remember being given a leather blue notebook with gold lettering titled 'ENGINEERING NOTEBOOK'. It was great for focusing on a single project and especially made sense for areas beyond code like drawing electrical schematics, but over time I've become addicted to digital approaches. These days? I rely heavily on Trello for personal projects - organize things by keeping a separate Done board (list for every month) for the project for times I want to flip back through older work done. Also keep paper notebooks around for times when I want to sketch ideas out. Additionally there's a 'rhizomatic frankenstack' of nvAlt+simplenote / pinboard / markdown files in project folders etc. I keep wanting to set up something where it's all searchable and ideally dream of something like federated wiki with a lot more UI polish.
