All through high school and most of college, I took notes on my laptop. Once I got into grad school, I gave that up and started taking notes in a notebook by hand; I was the only person in the CS department who took notes by hand, but it helped me to recall information, made it easier to review my notes later, and gave me the freedom to draw whatever diagrams I needed.

Also, writing notes on post-it notes or on a whiteboard are basically what makes completing any project that takes longer than a day possible for me.
