Pen and paper is criminally overlooked when it comes to note taking. I personally use a little hard cover blank book, date the upper corner, and list what I work on as I move through the day.
The "friction" of having to write things down means that you only write down the things that matter vs having a perfect log of the day, which makes reviewing easier.
Finally, if theres any end of date notes or things to highlight for the next day just star or underline them.
No push notifications, no alerts, no pings, no monthly fee, secure, and helps to improve your spelling and penmanship.
How do you deal with stuff that should be on the list, when you are not at the desk? I was using a notebook too, but I got frustrated, because my notebook was not with me all the time. My phone is…
I’m generally having this as a work log which is always at my desk.
I understand the frustration of not having it 100% available, but I use it as a way to keep work/life balance. If I’m at my desk I’m working, elsewhere I’m not. If I have an idea on a walk and it’s not sharp enough to last until I get back then it’s probably not worth writing down anyways.
