How do you take notes?

Great read this morning on how Tim Ferriss takes notes, and boy does he take ‘em: he has an “an eight-foot stretch of shelves in my house containing nothing but full notebooks.” That’s a bunch of notes! Our little community here takes notes too, mainly in Microsoft OneNote since it’s tablet-friendly and continues to get more effective with the new 2007 release and various power-toys. It’s not for everyone though; some folks swear by the equally useful EverNote application while others prefer paper-based formats ranging from lavish Moleskines to throw-away Post-It notes and everything in between.Give Tim’s approach a read if you’re interested in some potentially new note-taking strategies and be sure to comment here with your own approach, tips and tricks! Me personally: I utilize a variety of methods but typically stick with OneNote. The ability to have multiple notebooks in the latest version helps keep me organized! Oh: if you’re scratching your head over who Tim Ferriss is, he wrote the wildly successful book entitled “The Four-Hour Workweek”. I haven’t read it yet it, but I plan to… right after I finish writing my book tentatively called “The Hundred-Hour Workweek”. It’s a “don’t do this this…” type of approach. ;) Hey Tim: give a Tablet a try; if it can read James’ handwriting, it can certainly read yours!(via Steve Rubel’s Micro Persuasion)
