- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoYeah, physical paper, to my endless annoyance, still wins in some cases. I suspect it's because not being on the screen isolates it against context switches.

- lou1306 6y agoNot sticky notes, but plain old notebooks are what works best for me. About 10 years ago, moleskines + GTD [0] or Bullet Journal [1] were all the rage, but I only started appreciating such a system in grad school. Personally, I use a very informal system, somewhat influenced by Bullet Journal: * Write down almost everything could be relevant to your work/research * Use spacing to separate notes and use dates as headers. (I find dates to be better than page numbers for referencing, but your mileage may vary) * If a note is a "task", put an empty checkbox next to it. Tick the checkbox when the task is done. * When empty checkboxes are too many and/or scattered across the journal, strike them out and rewrite them, under today's date (this is known as a "migration" in BulletJournal-speak).
