You can organize your notes while you take them, after you take them, or both. Organizing your notes is the key to using your notes effectively later. Consider two-in-one devices like the Microsoft Surface, which offer the ability to jot things down by hand with the convenient stylus, the Surface Pen. While this doesn’t mean you should never use a phone or computer to take notes, it’s a good reminder than a hybrid approach might be the most beneficial for you. It’s been proven time and again that handwritten notes engage the brain differently than notes taken on digital devices, which can yield more effective retention 2. Why type or write when you can rattle off your ideas to transcribe later? Or take advantage of speech to text technology for faster turnaround. Sometimes inspiration strikes while you’re online and the easiest approach to notetaking is sending yourself an email-or drafting one that’ll wait for you to review later. When using Word, your best bet is OneDrive. If you prefer to take your notes in Microsoft Word or similar word processing apps, you can still organize your notes in the cloud. Microsoft OneNote provides a user interface that looks like a notebook, for notetakers who want to move to the cloud but feel like they’d miss their old pals. The flexibility afforded us by the cloud means there are whole apps dedicated to notetaking that sync across your mobile and desktop devices and offer browser-based access. A favorite for those who’re working on research papers, notecards can also be handy for jotting down facts to study later. Collect, organize, and share your ideas in a digital notebook.
