Four parts:
== Emacs Org Mode ==
- all capture
- all notes in general that I take while working (live) on a computer
- all meeting notes
- all drafts - usually via org-babel
- planning
Also, a type of code analysis where I make the code column 1 in a table and use columns 2+ for notes
This is sync'd via git across machines. Version Control + diff's are useful, but multiple branches for this hasn't been worth the additional complexity.
I've got a specific emacs daemon just for org. It's got a special -name argument that tells my window manager (xmonad) to bring up each window as a pop-up. That integrates with chrome and org capture to capture web bookmarks right from the chrome bookmarks bar.
== A paper notebook (leuchtturm 1918) and a grossly expensive fountain pen (MB) for all deep analysis. ==
- Good thinking is a lot easier when you look at paper instead of a screen.
The tactile feel of that pen on that paper feels so smooth and free that I write substantially more, and faster. I can only explain it like typing on your favorite mechanical keyboard vs using a blackberry to write long essays.
== MindJet for brainstorming. ==
So far, awkwardly on a Nexus 7 and a BT keyboard. I'm still looking for a better mind-mapping setup.
== GTasks (android app) ==
With Google's "Tasks" list for my to-do lists and random thought capture on topics I'm still not ready to properly sit-down and mind-map.
