<div dir="ltr">I've gone around and around with various tools. I've used OneNote a handful of times - it worked great in college when I was taking tons of hand written notes - I had a windows tablet that let me take notes electronically and OneNote was extremely good for this task. It allowed handwritten stuff and typed notes as well as "special" stuff - graphs, equations, sketches, etc. to all live harmoniously together. Evernote does this as well - to a certain degree. However - these are proprietary and pay for and come with that certain level of pain in the ass that I grew tired of.<div><br></div><div>So - now - I have a combination of a simple text file called "notes" that gets synced across my PCs and phone. Sometimes the simple thing "just works" and doesn't require any special BS. Grep + text = easy. I also archive _lots_ of stuff to gmail / google photos. I've gotten used to enough of the googleisms to be able to search and find what I'm looking for extremely quickly. I also keep hand written notes on a legal pad but these are typically more transient in nature (what's the IP for this thing that I need to go triage right this minute? or phone numbers for the insurance agent that I just looked up online but only need for the next week or so while I get quotes, etc.) Once those things become more permanent in nature I add them to my notes or contacts or appropriate documentation, etc. </div><div><br></div><div>I also find myself keeping lots of "super important and not public" information in my password vault - keepass. That's encrypted and synced across my devices as well. ex: I keep copies of my tax returns in there. </div><div><br></div><div>FWIW,</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 9:43 AM Aaron Brown <<a href="mailto:aayore@sofree.us">aayore@sofree.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

remembered: Mattermost, Slack, and HipChat all - I think - have the
option to send direct messages to yourself as a form of note taking. I
think most/all of them have a `/remind` command that can trigger
notifications, too. Usually I just DM links I want to remember to my
friends...<br>
