[SFS] Note Taking - What do you recommend

[David L. Willson]

I take notes *everywhere* on *everything*. 

I talk to myself in Mattermost, at work and at SFS. Thanks Aaron for mentioning that! I write on and in a journal. Currently, that's my SFS grid-pad. I take pictures with the device I still call a phone, even though making actual "phone" calls is the function I'd miss least. I talk to (Voice Recorder) and draw on (Markers) my phone. I email myself. 

I write on my hand. I talk to myself in the shower. 

I am currently listening to "Getting Things Done" again. I want to *read* it someday. Does anyone own a lend-able copy? 

As I did the first time, I'm finding that the most useful concept, for me, is sorting things into: 

- things I do something with: 
* ASAP - goes to my journal, if I can probably finish it today, or to a GitLab Issue, if I probably can't. 

* some specific time - goes to my Zimbra Calendar at home or my G Suite Calendar at work. 

* later maybe - goes to an email folder that I open and dump like an inbox at the beginning of next week, next month, or next year 
- things I file: 

* reference/archive - I used to folder-ize. Now, I don't bother. 

* trash - Yes, I still delete things. I'm so old-fashioned. 

And now, I'm off to try /remind.
