This is a very negative impact on our productivity, selecting the part of the "resources" of the brain to memorize information on current tasks instead of their implementation. Now very few people use to conduct the paper notes, is much easier to make notes and write in special applications, the more they have on any platform and represented in large numbers.
Apple gives us a built-in Notes in OS X and iOS, which are fairly easy to use and thanks to cloud-based synchronization are a great tool. But it is not perfect. So let's look towards alternative applications that could replace our native Notes.

NoteSuite also an application for plain text notes, but unlike Simplenote it has formatting support. The application interface has a "tabbed" mode (rather simpatiny), which contributes to the simultaneous operation of multiple notes and allows you to keep necessary items close at hand. Due to the formatting, you can create lists, which can be used as NoteSuite simple To-Do-manager (of course at a stretch, but if you need a solution all-in-one, why not). There is also a iOS-version (though iPad only) that is synchronized with Mac'om through iCloud. And NoteSuite has a browser-expansion to create notes (by Evernote webclipper type).
