I use an e-ink tablet called Remarkable. I used to carry around a Leuchtturm1917 but it was difficult to get information out of a paper notebook and into my other tools.
It's been an absolute game changer for me.
I handwrite messages on my Remarkable (which actually makes the pencil sound) and then email things out to Roam Research, Trello, etc.
If you are considering a Remarkable, here's a $40-off link. (Full disclosure, this works like Dropbox so I also get a kickback.): https://remarkable.com/referral/...

@laurenproctor32 Hand taking notes is the best form to jot down all ideas in the way they came.
Tool Finder - Find Productivity Tools
Has to be Mem right now, however - I'm actually not as much for a note-taker in general.
Apple Notes and Notion
WorkHub
@sabahkemalcans @jan_beisheim Thank you for the recommendation.
Notion is my relatively new favorite.
OneNote is actually quite decent too.
Post-it notes to keep important info in front of me.
SideNotes for Mac for catching all these little things throughout the day. (snippets, screenshots, shortcuts, links, quotes, ...)
Apple Notes for everything else.
@qudsia_ali Cool.
I started using my first mac with sidenotes installed. I can't imagine working without this app. It's easy getable and I use it many times a day.

Notion and e-ink tablet ☝️ Highly recommend if you like handwriting

@joannakurylo Both are great Tools. Thank you for sharing
I find Apple notes the most convenient, but maybe that's just because it's right there on my dashboard.
My friend (and I) use a program called Idenati to keep track of passwords, etc. He loves their notes feature. Might be worth a try 🤙

@paul_vanzandt For mac, apple notes are good. But I am looking for my windows laptop. Thank you for your suggestion on ''Idenati''. I will try it.

Notion! It's the only app where I feel the notes won't get lost, and they are mine. Used to use a moleskine for years when I worked as an architect.

@jamesstirrat Notion is an excellent app as I can use it on my windows and mac laptops.

Would also say the desktop app makes a massive difference here. I probably would use Apple notes if there wasn't a Notion desktop app.
For quick notes I’ll use the apple notes but if I am taking meeting notes I’ll make a Notion document

@pablo_fatas Nice. Thank you for sharing.

Definitely Notion!

@yna_sakov Thank you for sharing.
Notion and ReSkript! :) Notion is great but lacks a good editable and exportable document editor.
WorkHub
@martina_hackbartt, I have not used ReSkript. Thank you for suggesting it. I will try it.
For mobile phone 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽, and 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for PC are the two I love the most!
Weavit of course. You have to eat your own cooking !!
Microsoft OneNote

@peter_agar Good for windows.
