I use multiples things.
I really love to write a diary with a pen. Just problem is that it is not well organized and not easy to search.
For organizing and searching, I currently use notion. It is bit heavy for note taking but really good for organize my thoughts and etc.
I also use keep from google for quick note-taking.
For cleaning my thoughts, Writing blog is very helpful for me
I'm all-in on Roam Research. It's like having a second brain, helps me connect dots like never before. I use it for everything - meeting notes, planning sprints, jotting down random ideas, even personal journaling.
I used Roam Research and Notion to organise my to-do, journal, habit tracker, and notes.
But I always have a pen and notebook ready to jot down things during a call, or while working or talking.
As a software developer, one of the best things is creating something that you need yourself :). Despite being a long-time (since 2017) Notion user for structured note-taking, documentation and project management, I felt a gap in intuitive, agenda-focused platforms for personal journaling and daily planning. That's when I decided to create Penjo. It's my digital notebook that mirrors the intuitive nature of traditional pen-and-paper journaling using Apple Pencil, but with the added benefits of modern digital organization with features like iCloud syncing and Apple Calendar.
What excites me the most is that Penjo is a living project, constantly evolving based on users’ feedback and my own observations. I am planning new features like iPhone app support, handwriting recognition, and search to make it even better. There's something incredibly satisfying about realizing what you need from an app, and then having the skills to bring it to life. Penjo is that realization for me. :)
As a college student, I currently take my notes in a variety of ways, depending on the subject and the professor. For most classes, I use a laptop to take notes. This allows me to type quickly and easily, and I can also use the laptop to search for information or to access online resources. However, for some classes, I find that it is better to take notes by hand. This is especially true for classes where I need to draw diagrams or take a lot of math notes.
I use Notion, and I take notes for pretty much everything! I have a task list as long as my arm, and I'm always adding notes to tasks as I think of things, like content ideas, podcast guests, articles I've seen that I don't have time to read right now so I paste the link for later, etc.
@claire_shaw do you find the tab switching while recording your notes in Notion while on your browser/desktop cumbersome? And how would you feel if there was a browser extension that lets you access your Notion notes and edit them on any browser tab/window without having to go back and forth to your Notion app?
Hey @upen946 what are you thoughts on browser note-taking? Is there something you’re using for that.
For example, taking information from the web and putting it in Notion or Google sheets. How are you currently doing that?
1. apple notes, simplicity at its core. direct, intuitive, it's my go-to for capturing raw thoughts, lightning-quick. 📝⚡
2. notes for inklings, insights, learning. extracts from books, podcasts, tweets. they're often still simmering, unclear - but that's the charm. they're sparks, not fire, catalysts for intellectual growth. 📚🎧
and there's something enchanting about revisiting old notes, witnessing how past musings link with new ones. it's like a dialogue with my past self, excavating wisdom once overlooked. 🕰️🔍
note-taking is less about storage, more about engaging with the material, processing it, making it mine. it's a way to learn, to think, to understand. so, how do you weave your tapestry of thoughts?
