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 have to agree with wood.tang....there are benefits to paper...Submitted by misanthropic777 on September 29, 2007 - 3:02pm.
Lifehack.org recently wrote a post on why you better remember what you write. It has to do with the different mental path that written information takes compared to other methods. I was writing in my blog as well about this (blog.protoscholar.com) after I caught myself essentially rewriting my notes as I study for an exam. It helps, although until I read the lifehack post I didn't know quite why. » POSTED IN:
