Hi /g/, what tools do you use to record and organize your thoughts.

>>56412373
Plain text or paper
OneNote might be nice but I don't have a surface tablet

>>56412373
On linux, I use zen.
Windows, just notepad.

>>56412666
so you literally type it in? no stylus or anything?

>>56412640
i'm doing pen paper also but sucks for searching and you can't increase the size of a page.

>>56412776
Doesn't solve the search problem but a binder with reinforced paper works very well. When you run out of paper you just add more.

If you want something a little fancier than plain text you could look into using makrdown

Just recently started using Zim myself.

Has everything I need; tagging, folders, basic formatting, attachments, and a spell checker.

>>56412776
Number your pages, tag important keywords on each page and make an index. Use the index if you want to search.

Vim.

vim doc/notes
i
*enter notes*
<ESC>
ZZ

>>56412373
I keep them in my head while I still can. I don't write them down or store them electronically because the NSA or a thief might get their hands on it.

>>56413148
I do this as well, but not because of NSA but because of laziness. Need to get better.

>>56413123
This
I use

:r !date

literally every single day when writing notes and logs.

Try a notebook
they've been around forever and their battery life is phenomenal

>>56412373
Use org-mode in Emacs. It's really amazing.

OneNote 2016. Lens for mobile looks amazing and I love the audio/video search function. The quick note feature where you can use your webcam or mic to record a note is tops. Speech recognition is like wut wut.

TheMacs and .txt files.

Before that, Notepad++.

Take advantage of tabs and splitscreens.
