Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?

All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.

      This is pretty much ditto to my status. I loved logseq’s paradigm of easy linking and transclusion from the journal dumps.

      Are you trying to do something similar with org-roam? I still haven’t figured out my way around with the org (roam) ecosystem

        If by transclusion you mean hyperlinks & copypasta, then yes. I’m looking at using Zotero as well. I still haven’t really gotten the hang of Emacs, never mind org-mode or org-roam. It’s a lot. Too bad I didn’t pick up Emacs decades ago instead of vi.

          Yep, that’s what I meant. There’s an org-transclusion package aiming to reproduce logseq’s behaviour but editing from the embedded copy and updating the source isn’t as seamless.

          I also use Zotero standalone for bibliography but I wanna move everything to emacs. There’s org-noter and bibliography support in org(roam).

          But you’re absolutely right, it’s overwhelming, the amount of things one can do and the learning curve is steep
