> Write it, and you forget it. For me, writing by hand means remembering. I still lug around an actual notebook to all meetings and take notes by hand. I approximately never look at those notes later, because I remember everything important that I wrote. I've tried every variant of taking notes electronically and the result is I don't remember any of it. Counterbalancing, it sure is easier to grep a text file than search on paper pages in my notebook. But, having the info in my head is still orders of magnitude faster than grep, so taking notes on paper wins for me. |

When you're writing about a subject or meeting notes, sure. When you're writing a 30-item to do list, your brain will say "Nope, everything is on that notebook, refer to that".
As I noted in my original comment and elsewhere, I'm a heavy pen and paper user. I finish approximately two notebooks a year, plus I do my thinking/research on their dedicated notebooks.
Personal knowledge base and other digital notes are just distillations of these notebooks in a synced/searchable form, and I'm slowly making these public, as I have time.
