Effective note taking as developer (Video)

#productivity thursday, june 03, 2021

In this video, I’m sharing some note taking tips that made me more productive while developing or while learning a technology.

Some recommendations:

Put temporary working note into plain-text files, for easy access and copy-and-pasting
Keep your thoughts, hypothesis, and next steps in these clipboard files
Have a single place for these files and make them accessible via keystroke (e.g. i3 scratchpad)
Keep a logbook of insights and things you’ve learned that day
Write small summaries with reminders and pointers when learning a new technology
