This is, to say the least, not something you are able to speak to with certainty.
As someone who has been note-taking in a variety of formats, via a variety of mediums for the better part of my 40+ years on this planet, I can assure you, the system that works best is the one that works best for the individual. Universalizing something as intimate and personal as idea capture is, again, silly. I have been a writer my whole life, friends with writers most of that time, a graduate of two writing degrees at two different schools, and a teacher of writing. If you think you've somehow unlocked "best practices" when it comes to note-taking, you're way out of the convo. There ain't one.
- joe8756438 4y agoRegarding what works best for the individual: I completely agree! Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not suggesting there is any universal solution to note-taking. In fact, my work is all about enabling people to build different systems. I'm curious whether more notes are taken by hand than typed or otherwise. But, this is much less interesting to me than what is done with the things that were written.
