Record yourself on the forehead or how not to forget the importance of

Anyway, we have to take notes. Some people prefer paper, someone suffers a paper, but loves his fountain pen, while others do not see the point of getting dirty and entirely rely on computer - what there is common sense these days. Today I would like to talk about how difficult it is to do good "notes in the margins."

At first, Often notes are now reduced to collecting quotes that are unsubstantiated. The quotation is of course great, but I'm sure that it is necessary to add his thoughts, at least a couple of words: why and what you save it, and to what categories information generally applies. Otherwise, you will soon forget, and what actually ...

SecondlyIf you are not viewing your notes regularly, not counting the virtual or real "notebook" to their inbox-om - you are pretty mediocre spend time collecting them. Keep the information in store (eg - links) is quite strange when so advanced search tools, it is easier to find, yes and information when you need it to be fresh as a May foliage, and your link to the time may have go bad. One application of records "for later" is still there - these records will be useful to you where no network is not that hard to imagine, given the GSM coverage.

ThirdlyYou will hardly help tool that does not allow you to quickly find the right. Even stored in the file notes are not very useful if they need to get a pick and shovel. And what kind of book catalog in which there is no index, or even stickers on important pages?

FourthOften even the right tool can be used not to the full extent. For example - Evernote - excellent isntrument gather information, but how many shortcuts do you know? Win + A and print Screen? And how Ctrl + Alt + N or better yet - Ctrl + Alt + V?

A notorious Outlook, do you know how fast make a new note?

Or maybe you have configured tion Autohotkey so that Notepad was on hand? My looks like this:
^ # N ::
IfWinExist Notes - Notepad
WinActivate
else
Run "C: \ Documents and Settings \% username% \ Desktop \ zametki.txt"
Return

And we're driving your notes and recordings? And what is even more interesting to me - whether you do backups of paper, yes you heard right, paper records? If so, how? I personally suggest a scanner / camera + Evernote.
