Obsidian is one of the best apps I discovered recently and almost immediately become a core part of my workflow despite its early stage. It's a personal knowledge system built to last: proprietary formats provide advantages but end up locking you in it – especially when it's about a monthly subscription. Obsidian is built on plain Markdown files that can be accessed by any app and are unlikely to become obsolete. The files are local, though you can put them in any cloud (in the future Obsidian will provide an additional paid sync option). The devs are great and have been great at receiving feedback and adding the right features.

The best way for me to take notes was to have a leather note taking portfolio with a steno pad inside it. I would take fast notes on the right, and index on the left. Here I would rip out pages if I had to and throw them away. Then in the pocket would be a college ruled journal. I would take that out and summarize everything each day. This one I kept on my bookshelf. If I had to do it today, I would use a guillotine cutter to a page feed to a scanner to an OCR system.
