Ask HN: What do you use for note taking?
- jim-jim-jim 9y agoA pen.
- pwason 9y agoMy brain.
- peze 9y agoGood luck with that
- eindiran 9y agoA square-ruled notebook, and a few pens of different colors. There is something really satisfying about writing in a physical notebook that note-taking apps have failed to capture for me.
- peze 9y agoDo you have some kind of indexing system for it? How do you search through it?
- eindiran 9y agoIt depends on what kind of notes I'm taking, but I'll often put page numbers on the pages when I first get a notebook. I'll devote the first page or two to a table of contents and use sticky notes to keep track of where I am in the book. I don't have a good system for searching between notebooks, but I keep the notebooks restricted to a topic. For example, I presently keep three notebooks: the first is my to-do list for my personal life (including my shopping list, etc.), the second is something similar for work (focusing on the current project I am working on), and the third is tied to a particular side project I am working on. I keep them in my backpack and have them marked so I can easily tell which is which.
