I have a big problem – where to keep notes. As a writer, I have lots of notes about various things – scrawled on chunks of paper, the backs of envelopes, a stack of notebooks and more. Of course, then there’s the digital notes – in Scrivener, iCal, Google notebook and Backpack among others.
Having tried nearly every program, paper idea, and online note keeping system I’ve heard about from others and found in my own research, I’m still at a loss for a true companion to the way I work. See, my most often used idea catcher are Post-It Notes. This is because I can stick them where I can see them and be reminded quickly. Problem is, there’s only so much space on my desk for sticking them. They get lost, trashed, stepped on and otherwise mutilated too easily.
So far, my favorites are Scrivener and Backpack but sometimes getting to them when I need them is highly dysfunctional and they aren’t really so great about reminders and all that other stuff like grocery lists and the like. I want a simple, effective system that handles everything. Preferably a program that sits on my desktop.
Any ideas? All suggestions welcome! Please save me from drowning in Post-Its!
