Thanks for sharing your system! I've been a digital note taker since 2014. I migrated to a analog note taker a month ago and my head is so much clear with the things I got to do.
This is by far the best work-notetaking-on-paper youtube video! I love it! There is so much structure and minimalism that it is clear right from the start. Have a nice evening/day.
This is great! I'll try this out! Just a bookmark note for myself when I refer back to this video 2:55 Notebook type 3:35 notes example 7:07 MTDL and trasnfer to MTDL 13:15 numbering pages Thanks!!
Thank you so much! I've come back to similar conclusion again and again. I do a wierd thing to store notes, videos and websites, tags or other thing... I use my contacts/ contact groups to store these things because Google contacts stores unlimited contacts for ever. Mine go back 20+years. If my phone gets wiped/factory reset, googie sets all my contacts back up every time. So, I'm sharing this because your video resonated with me, gave me peace of mind to accept what I know has always felt like my intrinsic way and resolved my mental battle of not just accepting it. On the contract... say I want to make a group that houses the video, I select a name or word I'll easily remember to use in the contract name then ALWAYS add a bogus 10 digit number (which could be a system number/pg number), I always just use my area code then one number and lots of zeros, tha same one for all and add in the web or RUclips link, a map, whatever... then in notes: copy/paste works great, I note say; video 1) the first video : and the title or what its about, dates... anything I want. For contact image I might screenshot the web or some part of the video that I'll recognize immediately . Then when I need it, I can go to the contact group and scroll through ot type in search what name/word I can recall and Bam! it's there. So if I go for a visit to a friend's or something and talk about a subject I suddenly want to share with them all I have to do is go to contacts type in a tag word and I've got instant share-ability. Maybe you'll find a way that it works with something you do. I found your video valuable and I just wanted to share something I thought what's valuable and useful in return.
I have watched many videos and this being first one explaining the best method of note taking I could use whilst at work. Many thanks for this, excited to start using it!
I got sick of keeping and losing valuable notes over the years and switched to iPad with paperlike screen protector so it feels like paper now I can store millions of notes and find them in the search field even handwritten pretty cool. I agree that u shouldn't type or have a laptop blocking the client's views that's why iPad was a choice for me and handwriting. Loved your to do format of squares and circles. very cool. keep up the good content
You can use Samsung S7+ tablet, write your notes with pen, you can insert a picture later, in between your notes. You can cut parts, place it where you want. Then you can also save in evernotes if you wanted. Or you can save it to cloud
Joey, very nice video. I understand and believe in the benefits of the paper-notebook system. I am surprised to find the after adding the information to an electronic note-taking system (like Evernote), that you are still referring back to the paper-notebook. I love the square / circle technique. Here's are a couple ideas: * Instead of drawing a simple line through tasks when they are transferred, draw a line with an arrowhead. That kind of implies that the task went somewhere. * Have you considered having one paper-notebook for each customer? - - - Hopefully, you would say you have so many customers that would be impractical. * If you aren't doing so already, consider adding the event date to the index page entries. - - - I find that we humans can sometimes find things by "when" they happened. You posted your video 8 years ago. Are you still using the paper-notebook system?
Writing it down never goes out of style! I have a whole planner set up for meeting notes and sketches. I've tried all kinds of tech, too, and nothing sticks the way writing does.
Thank you, thank you!!!! I love the idea regarding the numbering of pages and having an index. Love it. That saves a lot if time. I am going to try doing that.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I´ve been trying to figure out how to deal with several projects and an ever-changing and on-going to do list and I´ve been struggling coming up with a good system that works for me... I love analog, although digital is great, too... and finally there is someone, who actually tells me it´s okay to use an analog system and an analog master to do list that works... the point you make at the end of the video is really good, too... I´ve never thought of it that way... anyways, thanks for the advice - I subscribed and am excited to see more of your content :)
Really weird... been using this technique since mid-90s, complete with the "checkboxes" for TO DOs. Ditto Evernote and Trello. Weird... totally weird. We related?
Hi Joey, found this really useful. I use Evernote (badly), can I ask if you just put everything personal, business etc into one notebook then just tag effectively as opposed to split into many notebooks please?

Great information here Joey, I’m wondering if you have any updates/tips/improvements on your note management system. Thank you
Great video!!! Thanks sooooo much for explaining your process to us. I love taking physical notes, but was really missing that master todo list part.
Great process!!!

Or you can write on paper and scan it into OneNote as a backup….which doubles as a searchable backup as well

Just the information i was looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Good tips. Like the index idea.

TOC is a great idea...

Really helpful, I struggle with organising and note taking and have just started my first consulting projects. This really helped.
Wow! You are a note-taking ninja master.
Just saved this video to Evernote. Great tips
Where can we get that notebook you are using or do you know the name or brand of notebook
Where to buy that but book?
Really weird... been using this technique since mid-90s, complete with the "checkboxes" for TO DOs. Ditto Evernote and Trello. Weird... totally weird. We related?
