The problem for me isn't that I can't find a note taking app that works. My problem is I don't know how to take notes. I always read on people favoring apps and using xyz for the past decade.

So true! org-capture is an absolute godsend.

A tip if you're designing something like this. Be fast, responsible and keyboard first. The time to take a note (flush your brain) shouldn't interrupt your current task and should be as mechanical as poss…
