I've been using Day One for my daily journaling, and it's been a game changer with its intuitive interface and robust privacy features. It's incredibly user-friendly and makes the habit of journaling both easy and enjoyable.

At work, I use Notion, and for personal note-taking, I primarily use Obsidian.

I use Evernote and an old-fashioned notebook. I read an article the other day in The Economist, that handwritten note-taking actually has advantages. The article stated: "Handwriting—which takes longer for nearly all university-level students—forces note-takers to synthesise ideas into their own words. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing. But those taking notes by hand also perform better on tests when students are later able to study from their notes. The effect even persisted when the students who typed were explicitly instructed to rephrase the material in their own words. The instruction was “completely ineffective” at reducing verbatim note-taking, the researchers note: they did not understand the material so much as parrot it." Here is the link to a cached version of the article in case you don't have access to The Economist: https://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?...

Evernote works for me just great! And I need to take notes the whole day long, first - in college , after - at work. With the first one I need a little help now, so hopefully these guys https://stateofwriting.com/uk/re... will be able to provide me some support in this case.

I use an app called Graphite by Syncodec, it really is not that popular with only 1000+ downloads in the Play Store, but it gets the job done extremely well, it was exactly what I was looking for in terms of UI and features.

I still stick with the pen and paper! Taking a bit of time away from the screen helps!

I use Obsidian. Its graph view and canvas features are amazing and give a lot of clarity when trying to make sense of your notes.
