Note Taking Tips?
Adam Schoales | Sep 29 2007
I'm in my first year of university and trying desperately to come up with the best way to take notes on my mac... I've been looking into notae and yojimbo (I like the tagging features alot, but dislike that I can't put in pictures and such) but have heard good things about journler and devonthink. The problem with Notae (which I used today) is everything is in SQL databases which is going to make it difficult. Plus most of these apps REQUIRE you to make a new database file rather than a bunch of text files which it will database and collect, etc. I've also heard wiki's are a great way to take notes but have no clue how to do so on my mac. So please, if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'm sure there are many like me who also would love to know any suggestions for great apps for us Univeristy kids. 105 Comments

 Another vote for paperSubmitted by galfridus73 on September 29, 2007 - 6:24pm.
I have to be another supporter of taking notes using paper. I'm speaking from experience. I've tried taking notes on PDAs, smartphones, laptops, etc., but there is nothing that is as easy to organize (or as forgiving) as paper is. I know you might not want to drag a spiral notebook around, but try looking at something like Levenger's Circa system ( http://tinyurl.com/l6w8s ) for a less confining type of notebook. Then, when the time comes to organizing your notes you can either use the notebook (and, with the Circa stuff you can move pages around) or then you can move things to your laptop while studying. » POSTED IN:
