I’m asking because I’m wondering if there’s a more efficient way for me to handle my notes at work. Currently I just use a txt file in Notepad++. I use this file to track all of the stuff I have to do, such as tasks for stories I’m working on, next steps for projects, discussions I need to follow up on, questions and ideas I want to bring up, etc. The way I organize the document works pretty well for me, but I’m just curious how other people do it.

    I’ve found Notion to be quite good. I just started with a blank page, then added the date as a heading, a smaller heading for each project, then todo boxes for each task. I tick them off as I go. Then, the next day, I copy yesterday’s todos and paste it above, change the date, then delete the crossed off items. This gives me a history log off what I did on previous days, so if I forget what I did yesterday I can just look back at what I ticked off that day.

    I used to use a paper notebook but found it annoying because I couldn’t add a task in between other tasks. That’s the benefit of a computer; I can move things around
