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

I use the mindmapping technique for making notes using floating topics for info that I cant at the time, see where it fits in. You can do this on paper or with one of the many apps out there. I've had quite a lot of success with MindJet MindManager but apps like Freemind are equally as good. Its more of a technique that you feel comfortable with that makes good notes. If I'm in a meeting that is extensively technical and has client input, I record everyone and produce the notes later. In that way they are definitive and no one can ever dispute the original discussions. It also means I can contribute effectively without worring about noting the salient points. Always soundcheck first :-) Scooby » POSTED IN:
