Pen + paper/stickies for taking notes at my work station Google keep for anything I need to access from multiple devices

I've tried a seemingly endless list of note keeping techniques/apps. Always end up wasting time trying to perfect a workflow when it's just not a good ROI.

I use notion.so and it's by far the best note taking app that I have ever used. No more botched copy-pastes with weird fonts or colours like with OneNote or Evernote. Notion.so forces a clean structure on all my notes and it works with markdown by default (you can also export markdown).

On rare occasions it might fail to get the photos from a copy paste'd article, but I can easily solve that with: fuckyeahmarkdown.com

There are a ton of other features that this web app (+desktop app as well) offers, but it would take a a long block of text to explain.

- Kanban boards - Unlimited subfolders - Bookmarks - To do lists - Spreadsheets - Templates - Etc

I'm not going back to OneNote or Evernote ever again. They were so clunky for me that I wouldn't even go back to read my notes, especially on the horrendous OneNote web app. Not to mention that the infinite space/scroll (unstructured) approach by OneNote was actually a big headache for me due to the fact that I was writing my sections of text all over the place.

My preffered choice is iA Writer - a markdown editor. Available for MacOS and iOS which stores the notes automatically in iCloud.

The most important thing for this is that it uses iCloud transparently for me. So I can also navigate to the iCloud folder with all my notes and ‘grep’ them in case I need.
