Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?
All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.
Usually just remember stuff. I’m terrible at taking notes - I either forget to take any paper/pen or I don’t know what’s important and don’t make any notes.
If I get an action item I’ll write it down or stick it somewhere on my work phone. It probably won’t make much sense so I’ll need to remember what it was about anyway - it just serves as a reminder that I need to do something.
At my first job somebody showed me a system that I needed to use, step by step, for a task that I needed to do to cover them the next week. I took no notes (didn’t even occur to me), she was surprised that I took no notes, but I remembered it all and did the task.
I’m not sure my memory is quite good enough to trust these days, but back then it worked fine.
