The Linus Pauling (chemist, 1901-94) research notebook collection is awesome https://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/coll/pauling/rnb/index.html
An example: Almost illegible handwriting, describing a child's seizures cured by cayenne pepper, immediately followed by a note on diffusion theory.
Random, scatter-brained, sketchy. This is so relatable!
TIL that @Chris Aldrich described back in 2022 an index‑card notebook for note‑taking on the go: https://boffosocko.com/2022/12/01/index-card-accessories-for-note-taking-on-the-go/ . Fast‑forward to today and the concept is real: you can actually buy an index‑card notebook on Amazon for around $10. It's an incredible reminder that it's not unusual for completely unconnected people to converge on similar concepts when they're considering the same underlying problem. What’s even more interesting is how far the idea has evolved. I recently wrote about this in my Substack article: https://sevetech.substack.com/p/why-index-cards-are-still-the-most?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer It’s a quick look at how index cards have grown from loose notes into structured systems for PKM, Zettelkasten, 2×2 frameworks, UML sketches, and even LLM‑ready prompts, all made more practical with the new Index Card Notebook format.

One of the quiet superpowers of the PaperStackPro notebooks is the set of digital extensions that come with them. They’re intentionally simple: no learning curve, no login, no app to install. Just scan a QR code and the tool opens instantly in your browser. The idea is straightforward, give you exactly the information you need at the moment you need it, without pulling you out of your workflow. These tools are designed to support your notebook, not replace it. Current tools: Weekly Planner Webapp: a lightweight task page that mirrors the structure of the notebook and saves locally, so your list survives refreshes. ISO & US Week Calendars: convert week numbers instantly and navigate dates with zero friction. Ordinal Day Lookup: check today’s day‑of‑year number. AR Tracing Tool: a browser‑based camera lucida for sketching;. Substack Reply Bookmarks, available soon. The last one, we’re currently refining, is especially relevant for Substack users. Substack makes it surprisingly difficult to find your own replies to other people’s Notes. There’s no central place where they’re listed. The upcoming Fleeting Bookmarks tool solves this by giving you a simple place to paste those URLs so you can return to them later. It works for any link, but it’s especially useful for Substack conversations that would otherwise disappear into the feed. Like the rest of the toolbox, it’s private, local, and frictionless. A small utility that fills a real gap without asking you to adopt yet another app. More tools will be added over time, always with the same philosophy: minimal disruption, maximum usefulness. https://sites.google.com/view/paperstackpro/home/digital-toolbox
Have you ever wanted a simple weekly to‑do app that works on phone or desktop, something lightweight, but still able to preserve your task list even when you refresh?
The Weekly Planner Notebook now pairs with a minimalist webapp. The notebook gives you a long‑lasting place to map out your week, while the app is there when your notebook isn’t around, letting you jolt down tasks quickly and keep the same structure wherever you are.

For capturing ideas, I generally use the reminder feature on my phone..
"Remind me to blah blah blah"
I have #Reminders synced to #Omnifocus.
But i do have a pen and paper next to me all day when i need to think something through before committing to it.
I find it hard to think on digital. I use digital more for documenting what i've already thought out.
Do you review how you use AI tools? And if so, how often?
I've settled on a quarterly cadence - long enough for experiments to play out, regular enough to catch problems early. Five questions I return to each time, including one about cognitive risk.
I'd be curious how others are approaching this. My Q1 2026 review is here if you want to see the format: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/my-ai-quarterly-review-q1-2026/
