  • Ask HN: What is a sustainable methodology for taking notes of your learning?
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Jul 2022
    I keep a relatively large amount of notes (1), which are fundamental to my learning.

    My notes are essentially books in markdown format, which I can open with the editor/IDE I use when working on any project.

    My opinions are:

    - the vast majority of the effort is spent on cataloguing knowledge when adding new notes (that is, keeping each book consistently structured); this is something that no tool can do, and as a consequence, any tool will probably do equal.

    - a consequence of the cataloguing effort is that the brain better remembers the topics stored.

    - searching is where the other effort goes; I've found that as long as the books are consistently structured, and one puts a bit of effort to make concepts easily findable, a textual search does well. probably, a tool to do fulltext search may help in some cases, but I rarely find the need

    For things that require rote memorization (say, System-V x64 calling conventions), I use Anki.

    I take notes almost only for computer/science related stuff. If I had to catalogue diverse topics, I'd probably just use subdirectories.
