My Note-Taking Path History and Evolution

Last updatedUpdated: by Simon Späti · CreatedCreated: · 1 min read

My path so far with note-taking:

  1. Forgetting everything
  2. Taking scattered and very detailed notes on multiple devices, apps, and paper
  3. Improving during my studies with OneNote, where notes related to work or study go into separate notebooks (no notes for personal notes yet).
  4. Starting to create a personal notebook for travels, personal research, etc.
  5. There is still a lot of confusion about:
    1. Where to store my notes
    2. Changing of the folder structure
    3. Finding older notes is complex and rarely happens
  6. Switching to Obsidian with a new open format and a different spirit and capabilities.

  7. Starting my Second Brain with Quartz
    1. Constantly updating my long-time wealth of personal knowledge by adding notes about my health, journals, cooking, books I read, and everything related to my life.
    2. I started to connect notes and sophisticate my system in a way that I can confidently find it later in my life span, the moment I need it.
  8. Start using Vim and, more importantly, its motions for fast and effortless note-taking.
  9. Sharing them publicly with Quartz.
