How do you take notes?

Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?

All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.

  • I mostly take notes in markdown on Obsidian. There's a bunch of nice plugins too that can add to your workflow. I don't really use the linking functionality much cause I don't find myself using it a lot even when I do it (and my notes aren't that complicated). I always try to do only point form notes since any longer and I find that it becomes hard to read.

    For personal notes I mostly make use of the Kanban plugin. You can make each card an individual note file and then jot stuff down in those to keep track of relevant information.

    I mostly use the quick switcher plugin to navigate by he name of the .md file. So everything is only "roughly" organized in folders with minimal nesting.
