Take better notes, by hand (brianschrader.com)

Brian Schrader describes a mostly paper-based note-taking workflow: use a simple four-part system for links and PDFs, app-based quote capture, and—most importantly—handwritten notebooks. He recommends dating entries, adding page numbers and an index built from topic changes and quotes, and using the right page for main notes with pencil on the left/margins for follow-ups. The goal is to make later retrieval easier while also improving engagement and recall by writing by hand.
