1 Introduction
1.1 Summary
I also wrote an article about electronic notes before, titled: Still using handwritten notes? Or use TXT or Word to take notes? NoNoNo, you need a suitable electronic note! , But looking back now, I always feel that it is not finished, and the writing is not detailed enough.
Therefore, I decided to settle the content of the original article again and summarize it again. I hope that through this article, I can bring you some insights and help!
1.2 Background analysis
It has been 530 days since my first day of work. Time flies. But one thing that I regret very much is that I didn't find out earlier and use electronic notes effectively. It wasn't until after I joined the work that I started to use it well. Now I just want to say, it's so fragrant!
To be honest, when I was in school, I used Microsoft's OneNote to take notes, but at that time, I used it on the PC, which was not particularly important. I didn't say to write down what I learned, the problems I encountered, the experience I summarized, and so on, and then record them. So even though I was using this software, I didn't use it well.
Therefore, this article will first analyze the advantages and disadvantages of traditional note-taking software, and then compare it with electronic note-taking software, so that the advantages and disadvantages can be seen at a glance. Of course, these are purely personal opinions and suggestions. Whether to adopt them depends on your own ideas!
2 Traditional way of taking notes
2.1 Handwritten notes
I feel ever since to go to school, take notes most common way is to take a notebook and write their own up little by little, that is pure handwritten notes . Moreover, I remember that I also use different notebooks according to different categories, such as one for math, one for English and so on.
So what are the advantages of using handwritten notes in my opinion?
- Exercise for writing . To prevent us from forgetting the writing, it can also help us practice writing.
- Exercise to summarize and refine content . We can't write down all the things that others say, we must pick important points to record; handwriting notes can exercise this aspect well.
- Handwritten notes are very real-time . For example, I was suddenly called for an interview by the leader. At this time, I took a notebook in my hand to record relevant content in real time and make a summary.
- Habit . This should also be considered a traditional advantage, after all, handwritten notes for so many years are a fine tradition!
- …
Correspondingly, I also want to talk about the shortcomings of handwritten notes in my opinion
- Low efficiency . As far as I am concerned, handwriting is indeed very slow; and sometimes in order to take notes, I don't think about the content of the conversation at all, but simply record without participating in thinking.
- Storage is difficult . My collection habits are very poor. I don’t know where to keep my notebooks from junior high school, high school, and college. Even if it can be saved, there will be a little cutie in Wan's family. After operating the notebook, the picture is too beautiful~
- Difficulty finding . Handwritten notebooks do not have a convenient indexing function. I can only find them from my own memory. I find it very inconvenient.
- Low frequency of use . I take notes by myself, and only have a greater mind about what I am currently writing. I rarely think of the original notebook and read it. Merely relying on memory, I really don't remember exactly in which notebook a certain knowledge point is written.
- …
Suggestion: Every time you finish manually taking notes, you'd better organize them in your free time and save them for backup!
Benefits: easy to search and find later; don't worry about losing; increase your own knowledge repository; follow-up similar problems can quickly follow the analogy and so on!
2.2 Use TXT and Word to record notes on PC
I found that some friends around me like to create a TXT file directly on the computer desktop, and start to take notes and write things directly. Or create a new Word document and start recording.
In my opinion, this habit is not very good; this method is also not suitable. Talk about the shortcomings I think
- Difficult to classify . There are many files on the computer. If you do not have good classification habits, it is difficult to find them quickly.
- Searching is difficult . If you don't have the right tools, it is difficult to find a certain file yourself. If the naming method is a bit messy, it is even more difficult to find the documents you need.
- Files are stored on the desktop, easy to lose . In Windows computers, the desktop is usually in the system disk. If you store files directly on the desktop, in case the system hangs someday, all files will be GG.
- …
Tucao so much, this method still has advantages
- Fast and can be offline . It is very convenient to create a file locally; secondly, if there is no network, this method is obviously very useful.
- Relatively safe . The files are stored directly in the local hard disk of the computer and do not need to be connected to the Internet, so it is relatively safer.
- …
2.3 Summary
The above two methods still need to be divided into occasions. Good steel is used on the blade, and professional tools are used to do professional things!
In view of the situation of taking notes locally on the computer, share a useful tool: Everything ; official website: https://www.voidtools.com/zh-cn/
This tool can easily find the local files/folders of the computer, but if there is no special need, don't let the software connect to the Internet, otherwise it may cause file leakage and other problems!

4 summary
Looking back and summarizing, the real emotions are revealed!
- Using a good electronic note is really like a magic weapon to help you overcome obstacles;
- Isn’t there a proverb that often says, “A good memory is not as good as a bad pen”. This is true for original handwritten notes and the same for electronic notes;
- Recently, I feel that my brain is getting more and more useless, and I can't remember some things. This feeling also from the side, the importance of taking notes, after all, the human brain enmmm, then humanity is the greatest place to use tools , it would need to make good use of tools around is.
