️ About note taking

Over 50% of people keep their notes in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. This is wrong. These are apps for writing but not for keeping, organising, and, most importantly, finding notes later.

You should take notes in a dedicated note taking application that will:

• automatically save anything you write,
• keep all your notes in one big file,
• let you organise and interlink notes,
• sync notes between devices
• search across all your notes
• share and collaborate on notes
• combine pictures and text

Keeping notes on reading and for writing is one of the things the Reading and Writing Lab is interested in surveying. Recently there has been a lot of innovation in the note taking space and there are many interesting and powerful applications to choose from. They all have different strengths and weaknesses.

Over the next three days we will feature three prominent note taking applications that would be a good choice for any one who keeps notes in Word.

1. Onenote
