How To Take Good Notes

I’ve always loved taking notes. I’m trying to think when it really hit. But I would write so much. I love making bullet points. I love deciding the hierarchy, especially on the fly. I love synthesizing information. 

I’ve larger graduated on to typing on a computer and speaking but writing will always have a spot in my heart. And an invaluable, specific purpose.

Best Note-Taking Applications

Notion

Evernote

Microsoft OneNote

Google Docs

Zapier has a great list of note-taking apps. 

Audio Notes

Otter.ai

Recorder by Google

Free on Android. Local transcription and analysis. Limited features. Lots of opportunities to grow with power of Google behind it. 

Video Notes

These are definitely not note-taking apps but an easy way to record video to store and manage them better. This is a great example of the technology needed but not the focus of helping people with actual note-taking. 

Loom

“Say it with video. The expressiveness of video with the convenience of messaging. Communicate more effectively wherever you work with Loom.”

Vidyard

Video to Close the Distance. Keep a human connection with customers and coworkers when you can’t be there in person. Vidyard is the best way to add video into your emails, website, and everywhere else.

Wistia

“Let your videos do the work. Video marketing software that makes it easy to find, engage, and grow your audience.”
