vimwiki, every day, nearly every hour of the day. It's just a very long text file at this point; I only branch out to a separate page for specific projects or tasks. Not very structured, but very easy to find whatever I wrote or thought about at some point in the last few years since I've started using it. I tried Obsidian, briefly, out of curiosity, but didn't see the point of changing my current routine...

By accident I took a very cumbersome approach and found out I unconsciously settled with it, so I refrained from cleanlier solutions ever since: I take notes directly on the titles of events on google's calendar. It wasn't a conscious strategy, I used google keep before, but one day I needed to take a quick note and make sure I would not forget it so google's calendar was the way to go, and cumbersome as it was it just worked, and unconsciously I forgot of google keep existence ever since. So the virtue of this is that I always keep important notes on the loop until I settle them on a proper document (always Obsidian, it's just perfect). I only have to look on one app for everything, the calendar, so I make sure I don't forget anything, without thinking about it, specially if notes are linked to events. It turns out this is just a rediscovery of the good and ol' agenda, so I really hope google improves taking notes on the calendar in the future.

Analogue for the win…. writing and putting thoughts to paper/animal skin/cave wall is thousands of years old. It’s therefore likely that the two process (thinking and expressing) are closely aligned speed wise.

Good quality paper and pencil for posterity :)

I love handwritten stuff. I still have all my notes from my high school.

Only when I was preparing for National Eligibility Test (which recruits you in a college here), I did a lot of typing to attach a lot of references and citations. I still have all that work too, all of it is related to old and medieval English Literature.
