None of my note taking is amazing but I'm quite happy with the state of it. Most of my personal notes end up in Google Keep as that has a bunch of nifty sharing/reminder/etc. features built in. At work I take all my notes in a "diary.md" markdown file in a pinned VSCode tab. I started taking bullet-pointed daily notes to help remind myself about what happened the previous day to make standup meetings easier... it has helped tremendously past that too though, as I now habitually take notes for meetings and other goings-on as well. To start, the basic process was: 1. Set up a diary.md file in its own folder, open it in my main VSCode window, and pin the tab 2. Set up a VSCode Markdown snippet for "td" (for 'today') -> generates requisite headings, with the current day's date and the first bullet point for note-taking 3. Set up personal private git repository in the diary folder so that my notes don't die if my laptop does 4. Set up bash alias "gpn" (for 'git push notes') -> auto commit my notes with some "automated macro commit" message and push to remote 5. Each year I start fresh and rename the old diary.md file by adding the year number to it and filing it away in the repo/archive folder. If I'm working on a bigger project I'll set up a separate Markdown file in the same repo and make project-specific notes in there, while keeping the standup bullet points in diary.md - otherwise for message drafts or more general meetings notes I just add them under subheadings inside the day's "diary entry".
