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 know this has come up in other posts but as a grad student I use pen and a notepad then head into VoodooPad. Truthfully however I just go over my notes and hardly ever type my notes in. I'm using Process 3 from Jumsoft for organization and not Outlining for reading notes, paper, and research. I throw all my files into there so at least I have them together. But my ultimate tool right now is CulturedCode's Things. Still in beta but my golly is it a good program, you have a convert - I love this program. I have yet to have a professor who allows being recorded so that' simply not an option. Pen and a pad - Cornell Notes system rocks. » POSTED IN:
