Discussion on: How Do You Take Notes?

I switched to handwritten notes, but on an iPad with Apple Pencil. I use an app called GoodNotes, where I keep folders and notebooks. One of the app's features is that it has global search, even for handwritten notes. So, I get to handwrite them still and retain them better, but since the app has global search, I can just search for something, update it and all is well.

I moved my to-do list out of apps and used this for those as well. I find that handwriting them and then marking them as done by highlighting gave me better satisfaction than just simply ticking them off as checkboxes :)

Hey B., that is an awesome idea! Now, I have another reason to invest in the Apple Pencil for my iPad. I am going to download this app because it sounds awesome. Thanks for your comment!!
