I still haven't figured out a better way than my pen & paper journal that I now keep. I've tried every app out there, but it seems like the best way is still the pen and paper for what I want to accomplish.

My life revolves around work - therefore what I take notes on is to do lists. My personal life is now a list as well. Namely to do lists for work, personal life (groceries,etc), freelance projects, job #2, personal worky stuff (updates to my website, etc), hubski.

I'll note here that "journalling" in the truest sense of the word is now kept track through facebook. Feelings, photos, what I was doing, are mostly displayed and recalled later there. Deep interpersonal thoughts and feelings are lost now. I am considering that it may be important to have a personal reflection journal, but it's not a priority of mine right now.

I have Evernote which works for somethings, especially links and articles that I want to find later. But for work, work, and more work, there is no easy way to have the to-do lists with notes that get added throughout the project. Plus that satisfying strikethrough when it's been completed. I am done, but when I need to recall what it was or the folder # or what size screen it was on, I can easily go back and find it.

Whenever I have these lists on the computer I end up deleting them to clean up (therefore no recall) or the note taking process when I'm in a meeting or having a quick conversation never makes it to the computer. I personally find it rude and annoying when people are staring at their phones and typing furiously during meetings or desk conversations.

That said, I'm sure there is a better way, but every time I try to switch it fails miserably and I don't have time to miss things on my lists.
