I use visual studio code as my editor and I make notes using markdown. Initially it was a bit difficult, but I got used to it now.

I use,

  • dash(-) to list the points,

  • [ ] for todo item and after completing I make it as [x].

  • For important items, I make it bold using **.

I commit the notes to my private bitbucket repo, and as it's markdown I get pretty clean UI when I refer my notes later.

Do you have this in a synced folder so you can take notes across machines?

I sync the notes using 'git' on my private bitbucket repos.

very creative way, at the same time, if you are working at the same IDE it would be very easy to just jump to next file and update your notes, I like it.
I use usually libreoffice spreedsheet , I've made a table with the routine that I do everyday, and the goal for the day. so every day has different sheet, and every spreedsheet file has 30 sheet for 30 days. I find this very productive and make me more consistent with the tasks

thanks a lot
