Paper notes

I recently discovered [13]Tom MacWright's blog, and I read some of his
|
|
blog-posts, and found one about [14]paper notes. I highly recommend checking it
|
|
out.
|
|
|
|
In 2018 I discovered [15]bullet journaling. I've been trying to write
|
|
consistently ever since, with a somewhat success, but always miss some months/
|
|
weeks every year. I've used this to remember what I've done for specific days,
|
|
what appointments and events I'm attending or going to attend. And it works,
|
|
but I usually don't write in it everyday, I write every two or three days,
|
|
depending on how busy I've been that week.
|
|
|
|
And when it comes to notes in general, I've been trying to use my reMarkable 2
|
|
to write notes about work related stuff and other "discoveries" I come upon on
|
|
the interwebs. But I always seem to forget it when going to work and I think
|
|
it's a hassle to take in and out of my backpack and remembering to charge it.
|
|
|
|
And like Tom, I bought nice notebooks for my bullet journaling and managed to
|
|
write a lot, but suddenly I abandoned it. I never brought my bullet journal to
|
|
work or when I travelled, it was just too much of a hassle, and what if I lost
|
|
it?
|
|
|
|
Then a few weeks ago I found a Norwegian store that sells Field Notes, which
|
|
fit my back pocket perfectly, and I thought maybe I should try to keep a small
|
|
notebook with me at all time. So I bought six, because I'm going all in.
|
|
|
|
And I've written notes everyday, and I've had a blast, it just works. Whenever
|
|
I just remember something I just write it down and forget about it. In meetings
|
|
I use it for the same thing. I use it for todo-lists for the day or future. The
|
|
other day a colleague and I were going through a presentation we were preparing
|
|
for the University of Bergen and I wrote down all the comments and ideas I came
|
|
up as we were presenting for each other, instead of trying to remember all of
|
|
them in my head. And man did that work wonders! I made it into a list and we
|
|
adjusted everything and nailed the presentation!

|
|
|
|
Like Tom, I treat them as append-only, and when I started doing this, it came
|
|
naturally for me to only write down my notes in the paper notebook instead of
|
|
having to rely on a digital notebook. No more needing to organize my notes, if
|
|
it's more important and useful in a project sense I add it to its specific
|
|
place when I get time. I flip through my notes every now and then, and weirdly
|
|
enough, I started to flip through the notebook instead of checking my phone.
|
|
|
|
And now, after a week I flip through my notes and add what's interesting to my
|
|
bullet journal and keep the other stuff in the field notes. It's quick and
|
|
easy, and I don't have to spend a lot of time trying to remember what I was
|
|
doing earlier that week.
|
|
|
|
Again, I highly recommend reading [16]Tom's post, and checking out his [17]blog
|
|
in general.
