Some of the best #advice I got early in my PhD was from
@rockt
urging me to set up a good note-keeping system. 1 year in my notes have helped me in so many situations! It took a few iterations, and I'll share the things that were most helpful for me personally here ⬇️🐊 1/13
@LauraRuis @rockt Great thread, thanks for sharing! My setup is similar and I agree regarding the need for having a good note-taking system. I personally use Joplin and keep all my papers in Mendeley (& read on iPad with Papership). I started doing this 3 months ago and it has helped me a lot! I don't have the same note structure as you, instead I like to make survey notes explaining various topics, and notes about anything I come across. This whole system works like a second memory for me.
@ashishgaurav_13 That sounds great too! Indeed a second brain :)
