Notes On Note-taking

I am a prolific note-taker. I have been taking notes daily for 2 years now. My 3 years of note-taking have amassed into thousands of lines in a big biiig text-file. Most of these notes are just one-off comments on what I have done on a particular day and what I plan to do. Sometimes I also describe how I am feeling and reflect on life.

Lessons learned

• most of the notes are shit, useless noise
• a good organisational system is important to make sense of your notes
• searchable notes are really great (i wish mine were more searchable).
• if u want commit to keeping a daily journal then maybe try to coalesce your productivity system into a diary.
  For example, your calendar may double as diary.
• i layed down some formatting rules but over time I figured out that those were shit and uninformed.
