- sydthrowaway 5y agoI tried this, but the system falls apart when I want to jot down a few notes quickly. Maybe I should give reMarkable a try.
- Jwarder 5y agoI wonder how much trouble with notetaking stems from people trying a one size fits all method. Personally, I have three tiers of notes. A physical notepad for meetings, random ideas, test results, that sort of thing. My goal is to write down items when I suspect I'll forget them in the next 30 seconds. At the end of the day I'll take 10 minutes review what I've done, with the physical notes as a starting point, and log my activity and open questions per project. My goal at this point is to keep enough context to answer the inevitable "WTF was I thinking?" in a few days. Usually just taking the time to outline things means I can remember the key points. Finally there is a team wiki where I record details per project. Feature wishlist, customer requests, work with other departments, Q&A. My goal here is to make sure my replacement isn't totally lost after I get hit by a bus.
