I've been using google keep to take notes and remind myself to review them with spaced repetition (more about spaced repetition https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html)<p>Nice things about using keep for this:<p>- access from any device<p>- nice UI<p>- supports images<p>- reminders to review a note<p>- half decent text editor<p>- searchable<p>- categories<p>- free<p>cons:<p>- mixed in with other notes in the default view<p>- hard to export for review in other formats<p>- have to manually set the interval (e.g. using reminder tool to set 3 days from now, then 1 week, then 1 month ect). This is tedious<p>- not suited for larger documents<p>- not really suited for flashcard style of studying<p>Other things I've tried:<p>- folders with text files<p>- ankiweb
Whenever I learn something new, I make notes in word. I keep thousands of such word Notes files on my HD. I have some dating 15+ years back. Usually your brain does the remembering, w/o even you know it, but when something I learned comes up either at work or in my personal life, and i am a bit rusty remembering, I can always find it in my files - refreshing my memory by reading my notes file.
