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

 Use Engineering Paper to Take NotesSubmitted by birwin on September 30, 2007 - 12:47pm.
I'll just pile on with everyone else and say use paper, but I'll add a suggestion for the kind of paper to use: Engineering Paper. http://www.amazon.com/tag/engineering%20paper The paper is a light green with a 5 squares per inch grid printed on the back of the paper. The grid shows through to the front to give you both horizontal and vertical rules. It's great for giving even indents in your notes, and the grids really help when drawing diagrams. You can get it in pads or as loose-leaf. I took notes in all of my classes with engineering paper. I finished college 15 years ago, but I still keep a pad of engineering paper on my desk and in my briefcase for note taking and brainstorming. » POSTED IN:
