How do you keep notes?

Are you using an extra app for a note-taking purpose, or directly using the phone's own app. Is there a specific reason for that?

I use Roam Research for most of my notes. If I want to jot something down but I'm on the go, I still use Apple's Notes app.

I use Nimbus Note. Used to use Evernote but their lack of innovation and basic stability issues caused me to move after years of usage. Have been on Nimbus Note for a few months now and loving it.

Used to use the Notes app for mac because it was simple & quick. Moved to OneNote because I like how you can start writing anywhere but don't need most of the other features and find it slow to paste into sometimes so may end up back with Notes.

I am building a note taking app. To be frank, so far I have been using whatsapp's blocked contacts for posting own notes

@sanalck007 This comment gave me two feelings at once. I wish you success with the app you developed, very good news. I'm also sad people are blocking you :D

@sanalck007 LOL You should add yourself and send yourself notes!!!

@kdrnp hahaha. An alternative (if no blocked contacts): Make a group with somebody and remove them/ Then that is gonna be your kingdom.

@sanalck007 You might want to consider Telegram's "Saved Messages" - you essentially message or forward something to yourself, including media/attachments if you want

For creative content and strategy; first white paper than Notion, but for quick notes; Google Keep (:

Notion is the best solution.

@isaac_hernandez1 I don't think Notion is the right app for taking quick notes, you click too much.

@isaac_hernandez1 I also use Notion. I love the app because of the variations of widgets. But sometimes it's too slow. I used to use the desktop app but it crashed , so now I am using the website. Do you know any alternative to notion , as good as it?

@orvil_d_silva @isaac_hernandez1 Hey, You can try One Note. I find it much easy to use for quick note taking and it is also a bit smoother than Notion\

@orvil_d_silva @theshubhagrwl I feel comfortable with Notion, but I also use a notebook to write down things and even for planning every area of my life as well and it works very well for me. I have a workflow with both tools.

@isaac_hernandez1 @orvil_d_silva I use notion daily to keep personal and work related notes. Lately discovered that notion does not have end to end encryption hence considering to move to something like https://obsidian.md/ which keeps all data locally. Haven't tried it yet. Another alternative that i am aware and haven't tried is https://www.zoho.com/notebook/

As for me I am an old school person - I make notes on paper with a pencil. To make it less waste solution I use already used paper, eg. test prints. If I am out of paper or my notes / to do list must be send later to show progress of my work I make notes in most simple tool I can get in my operating system or directly in software I am about to use to report my job. For my private life I use paper calendar to make notes and to do lists.

@jan_mazurek You've explained all the steps to note-taking, Jan, thanks. Obviously, even if you use used paper, the paper should not be used, in my opinion. But I also can't stop myself from using paper completely.

@jan_mazurek @kdrnp Got to say, there is something so great about taking notes by hand. Even with all the bajillion tools out there, nothing beats having a by-hand checklist of things to do (and the feeling of crossing each of them out)
Jan Mazurek
@kdrnp @sach_r35 most important here is fack I write / draw by hand, not point chars at keyboard (screen or classic PC one) It makes me to remeber that

@jan_mazurek Well, if they're temporary notes that you don't wanna save/archive physically for later, you could use a whiteboard or something like Rocketbook, and archive digitally.

I use google docs because it is basic and easy lol.

@jack_davis7 You are right for desktop, I couldn't be sure for mobile :)

I use Notes app for iPhone and Mac. It is synchronized and you may separate your personal and work notes. I find it very useful!

@kdrnp I dont use such function, but you may read about it in this guide - https://support.apple.com/en-ca/...
