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

 Do the organizing laterSubmitted by jd_ on September 29, 2007 - 3:09pm.
wood.tang already beat me to it, but pencil and paper are my weapon of choice. This is a no-brainer for me since I study graphic arts, but I think I'd stick with a low-tech solution regardless of the class subject matter. For me, the point is to make capture as easy as possible. The organization can be done later. There're plenty of personal wikis which can be great for storing and revising notes. Just don't try to juggle one in class. » POSTED IN:
