I use digital text notes and digital paper notes (using a Remarkable tablet in the past, now using Supernote instead)
However for much of my life I still struggled to get more out of the system than the mere act of committing the note, which often is enough to make something stick in my memory for longer. (Especially writing a physical note on my Remarkable tablet)
So just that committing of a note was worth it.
Still, notes were one way for me for me, ideas and thoughts did not get revisited.
A few things changed all of that for me.
For my digital text note system, Logseq.
I finally found a system where I am able to amend, see, change, work with all my existing notes when creating new notes.
Now a new note uses blocks from other notes, I revisit old info more and more.
My mind works wonderfully with this.
Logseq is an infinite outliner, a bi-directional note system that allows for true in place transclusion (put editable excerpts of notes into other notes always editable)
Also Logseq has an incredibly flexible and powerful query language that is just nuts. I love it.
And then recently I switch my physical handwritten notes from Remarkable to Supernote.
Why?
Oh my God
Supernote let's me create inter note links!
My own handwriting, I can just select the vector text, and link to any page of the note or any other note I have to make a link.
It's such a powerful addition now my notes are becoming so much more powerful.
Links are great, they let me easily revisit old info when adding new which I find is awesome.
The Supernote is kind of on a wiki level with its link capabilities which I used to think was top tier but since Logseq bidirectional linking blows wiki based out of the water. However I can't see how to add bi-directional to Supernote easily? They are making a Linux based version soon so perhaps when they do if I upgrade I could write a script to add that functionality?
Anyways. Going back to Remarkable or paper without any handwritten note links is not possible. I've been spoiled.
Also I am working on a script to auto convert and retain links to my Supernote and integrate into Logseq but haven't succeeded yet. One day!
