David Allen the author of Getting Things Done said “your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.” This is why good note taking is effective.
During the course of a day a huge quantity of thoughts go through our mind and some of them are worth acting upon. Having a good note taking app with you at all times means that you can effectively select and preserve the good ones for later action. How many times have you had a good idea or noticed something important only to have forgotten it a couple of hours later? That two in the morning idea that has disappeared by the time you get up.
Having a good note taking app on your phone and using it makes all the difference and effective people make use of it all the time.
It doesn’t matter which app you prefer. My personal favourite used to be Apple Notes but I am now moving toward Evernote because of the scratch pad but just use the one that works best for you.
Taking good notes removes the lottery of whether you will remember things or not and makes life so much more effective.
