Meetings and Conference -> I take notes in plain text, and prefer sublime text/Atom, VS Code (:))

Brainstorming -> This generally involves making diagrams/flows etc. -> So I click images -> to eventually consolidate into say Evernote notes. I recently moved to making notes as markdown files, and have been exploring capabilities of VS Code, Sublime, Joplin, Notable apps/tools around.

Way of taking notes: It all about points and subpoints for me any day. Any supportive diagrams/images, are definitely a plus.

NB:

  1. For quick short notes on the go -> Google Keep, and I use their tagging feature very much.
  2. Retention for me is maximum, when I write/draw the notes by hand, using paper and pen/pencil.
