I like to write down snippets of code and detail how they work so I can come back to them later (though that’s another reason to blog as well). I’ve become a better, more organized programmer. I’ve paid for it, and I’m still a fan of it after all these years. If you need something that syncs without thinking about it and can pull web clippings, there is a strong case for you to use Evernote. I created my first note on February 15th, 2014, and it’s incredible to think about how much has changed in the creation of over 1,650 notes (roughly 22 notes a month). Enter EvernoteĮvernote has been my choice for years now. I can then execute on actions like creating calendar items or sending off my “As per our conversation…” emails. Post-call actions include expanding on the shorthand I wrote and adding additional thoughts to the existing notes (though I mark these as amendments to differentiate from items on the call versus items thought of after the fact). To become an obsessively good note-taker, I knew I would need an all-digital solution. This problem, coupled with the fact that I was printing less and less each passing day, meant that I was struggling with paper notes. Taking another call about a note, I couldn’t remember what I wrote down exactly. However, I had a few key moments where leaving my paper notes on my desk proved to be devastating. Ripping up old printed paper and writing on the back, all clipped together with an alligator clip, seemed to be a sudo-eco friendly way of recycling printed documents and take notes. Rather than attempting to remember that I have a project due Tuesday, I have to change some CSS for my client and that I have another call set up for the following Friday, it’s all written down.Įarly on, I used scrap pieces of paper as my primary note-taking tool. Note-taking is a fantastic way to get your mind to empty with the information required. I note who’s on the call, what the main topic is about, and then break things down based on questions and answers that everyone mentions on the call. Every call I am on has a note attached to it.
