I find writing things down in a notepad (that I barely ever look at again) helps with retention and reduces it looping in my brain as much (relieving it to think about and process new things). Anything more complex than that (e.g. notion) is probably overkill/productivity reducing.
- ravenstine 4y agoThat's my essential philosophy with note taking. I tried different note taking apps and having lots of structure and organization in favor of just using Notes.app on macOS and just sticking any random notes or written things in there with no actual plans on coming back to those notes. If I do, I use the search feature and hopefully I provided enough detail in the target note. And if I didn't, well then maybe what I wrote down wasn't that important anyway.
