This is the key thing, I think, and it's why most methodologically-heavy notes apps fall by the wayside, because they get in the way.
- Jeff_Brown 5y agoDaily processing is incredibly powerful, but once you've got the knack it's not hard to take useful notes that you won't refer to again for months or years. When I solve a tricky problem i file the solution under whatever keywords are relevant, and if I run into that problem again I can generally find it. (In the rare case that i don't, it didn't take long to file the answer so I'm unharmed by the note taking, and indeed likely helped nevertheless, as putting it into words helped my brain understand its properties.)
