Ask HN: How to take digital notes? I am at that stage of my career where I'm constantly in meetings or holding discussions. I need to get better at taking digital notes but cannot find a good resource that's easy to ramp-up on. I find it hard to concentrate and type at the same time. Here are the situations that are particularly difficult for me : * Doing a one-on-one with someone * Summarizing a meeting / discussion that I am leading * Notes around new things I discovered online or offline (through hallway conversations) * Anything that was given to me in paper form few mins before the meeting Some annoyances: * Not all software is approved for usage * Anything with online sync (outside of the company) is a no-go * Paper-based notes aren't searchable (esp if you're looking back few years) * Currently on a simple `.txt` file setup that I brain-dump once a day for 15 mins |
