Possibly off topic but after years of trying I'm finally on a good streak at 750Words [1]. What's really changed the game for me is filling out my entry in vim. I used to be bummed with copy pasta entries because I couldn't see my typing speed and distractions ya know just lotsa words / minute but it's worth it with how good it feels to bust out entries in vim with often shift downs like a type writer dinging along without a whim.

I always carry little notebooks that are for songwriting, general notes, grocery lists, and anything else that comes to mind.

Drawing notebooks, books full of notes on non-fiction books and videos, clipboards with graph+plain paper, voice memos, and a huge amount of random note apps and websites.

For collaborative projects I usually write a markdown file while I'm doing something worth documenting. Easier distribution to team members.

Interested to try a physical notebook for a personal project though. A progress dairy of sorts.
