Notice: This is a guest blog post written by James Vaughan. It was first published on his blog in May 2018. ‘I’ refers to the original author.

I’ve gone through quite a few revisions of my note-taking process and now that I’m in my final year of school, I think I’ve finally found a system that I’m going to stick with. In this post, I will describe this system and explain why I like it so much.

tl;dr: I write notes in Markdown with Vim and Vimwiki on my computer and with Markor on my phone, keep them in sync with Syncthing, and view them as web pages and PDFs that I generate with pandoc.

You might be wondering what things I’m taking notes on that are important enough to warrant a whole post on how I take them. Right now, the main thing is lectures for classes, but I also take notes on:

• books that I read
• movies that I watch
• important conversations
• interesting things that I learn about people
• projects that I am work on
• recipes
• ideas for future blog posts
