I’m asking because I’m wondering if there’s a more efficient way for me to handle my notes at work. Currently I just use a txt file in Notepad++. I use this file to track all of the stuff I have to do, such as tasks for stories I’m working on, next steps for projects, discussions I need to follow up on, questions and ideas I want to bring up, etc. The way I organize the document works pretty well for me, but I’m just curious how other people do it.
There are a billion ways to organize your stuff. I used org-mode a lot in the past but it’s a bit difficult to setup, especially on Windows. Nowadays, I use a mix of GTD, https://johnnydecimal.com/, Markdown (with Sublime Text), and https://taskwarrior.org/. Don’t forget calendars too (like the one on Outlook) because you can freely add meetings or things to do inside this application.
You have to find something that works for you, there is no perfect solution. You can also ask the same question on !experienced_devs@programming.dev.
