My note-taking strategies haven’t changed (I still group my notes by article and then mark my observations with bullet points), but my organization has improved. Here’s what one of my notebooks looks like now: Because the notes are stored in a single app, I no longer worry about losing important notes from a meeting or flipping through dozens of notebooks to study for exams. Then I found Evernote:Įvernote is a note-taking app that allows me to create and sync notes (whether typed, recorded, or photographed) across my devices. In my case, I used to shove my notes into a drawer, where they were promptly lost and forgotten. I see it everywhere–the caricature of frazzled academics taking notes on endless scraps of paper, a trail of ideas flying behind them in the wind.
