How do you take notes?

By the title I thought you meant for school. For quick notes I love to use sticky notes and paste them on my monitor (desktop monitor is just to my right, I have a laptop too) or index cards. If you check my back pocket it more likely than not that I will have an index card with written notes.

Thought this was going to be related to school and answered wrong. Everyday note taking I do on my phone, in class I use a notepad although I would prefer to do it on a Laptop but unfortunately don't have one.

For college I use this:

I never really take notes for anything. Except for groceries then.

laptop with Word and notepad++ (school)

otherwise general use, sticky notes

post it notes or the pad of graph paper I usually carry around during work. Whatever paper is nearby when I'm doing whatever.

I like paper on account of you can draw pictures in em too, easy like. I dooo use puter though too but never my phone.

I rarely if ever take notes. I'm not sure if this has adversary affects on my keeping tracks of things or not. But if I do, I use notepad and my phone.

i'm a mental note kinda of guy, unless it pertains to school, then I'll jot down key concepts.

I write stuff down. Helps me remember it better.

Usually on my mac, the notes application. Pretty simple.

Like what kind of notes

Phone and tablet is much more convenient if it's a certain kind of note notes

Paper, computer, and/or just off of memory....

I use composition books. I can't take notes on a notebook; I tried. It's simply not "immersive" for me.

any notes on a laptop or phone, I can't read my handwritting

Science has proven that taking notes on paper is more effective than with other methods.

I disagree though I have heard the same thing. Even if I write neat the spacing between my notes is awful. At least on a computer I can format the text with bold lettering, changing font, moving text around, even add neat graph pics from online.

What if you need to add another note to a previous topic and there is no room on the paper? just draw arrows? Or just copy and paste it neatly on a computer.

Put a '1' prefixing the previous note, circle the number. Put a '2' prefixing the continuing note and circle that number as well..

I use stars, arrows, or citations.

Example.

John Tyler was the first president who obtain office without being elected(1). John Tyler was playing marbles when told he became president of the united states. First Term was obtain via death of President Harrison (1).

If it's something that I want to remember to do, then I use the desktop sticky notes. Otherwise and school and such I always use a notebook.

Never took notes in High school or college. Did very well.

If we're talking school, I still use pencil and paper. For general things, I have sticky notes and a small pad of paper nearby. I occasionally put things in my phone.

Back in college I usually had a composition notebook for each individual class. As far as informal notes in everyday life, I usually just voice dictate it in my phone, as I always have it with me and don't have to worry about losing the paper later.

On paper unless I want to write down a url address or sth I stumbled upon while working on my computer.

Notebook and pencil

I use a notebook...no not that small computer, an actual notebook.

In school and University (serious notes), I use paper.

Small reminders and things I use google keep on my phone.

I'm a composition notebook and pencil kind of guy. It allows me a lot of flexibility in how I write notes, calculations, etc. The latter would be borderline impossible to write in text in a computer quickly and with appropriate symbols (the entire fucking Greek alphabet soup, caps and lowercase) , and writing calculations out on virtual paper always seems messy as **** when I see other people do it - and I doubt that I'd be an exception.
