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

 I'm probably not the first to suggest...Submitted by tyroneking on September 30, 2007 - 10:39am.
Make class notes on A3 paper - use a mind map format and lots of coloured pens because it'll really stay in your memory that way. Active remembering also helps - so after class transcribe your notes again to either paper or to Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net). The Freemind page also has links to Linux based View your Mind and Kdissert, both of which export to LaTeX. Again, active remembering is the key thing, so you might want to talk about your lecture material into a tape recorder and then wipe the tape when you've finished - sounds weird but it's something my psychology lecturer called Mcall's Mystic Monitor. » POSTED IN:
