I've tried Evernote, Apple Notes, the Remarkable Tablet, vimwiki, and I keep going back to handwritten notes on paper.
My current workflow for notes is: I take notes on the notes app on the iPhone or my Mac if I don't have my A4 Moleskin notebook handy. And then I transcribe the notes on the Moleskin whenever I can. Another recent addition I have to this workflow is a Brother VC-500W label printer. I use it to print QRcode stickers for URLs that I stick on my notebook.
- _eigenfoo 6y agoHave you considered linking notes from one notebook to another? E.g. if you named each notebook and numbered pages, you could just point to "page X in notebook Y", and wouldn't need to transcribe. Would this be something helpful to you?
- woadwarrior01 6y agoI run through about two A4 192 page Moleskin notebooks in a year. Every entry is dated, and back references are essentially in the form of “On $date, I wrote ...”, so the lookup is sub-linear time.
- grugagag 6y agoYes! The act of transcribing allows for reorganization and better recall. What i find amazing about plain paper/notebooks is that we remember visually where to find info. Manually searching by flipping through the pages also further helps cement the information. Search functionality is useful in some cases but for essential notes it is a bit overrated IMO
