If I'm on the go on my phone and there's a cool idea in the podcast I'm listening, then I take a screenshot of my locked screen as it shows my audio player (with the button shortcuts). And then later on I go back to those screenshots and I know which podcasts and which moments had important ideas.<p>If I'm doing active listening, i.e. listening to a podcast or watching a talk and actively taking notes, then I use <a href="https://sidenote.me" rel="nofollow">https://sidenote.me</a><p>For example: <a href="https://sidenote.me/note/0gcKho/nailing-your-first-launch-adam-wathan-microconf-starter-2018" rel="nofollow">https://sidenote.me/note/0gcKho/nailing-your-first-launch-ad...</a>
I've actually begun using iOS voice memo app more often. I just add to a weekly recording whenever I come across something interesting. Recording can't get easier than this. Easy to passively listen and read. If i have a hard time summarizing it into a couple of lines, i know I dont know it well enough right there. I move the interesting ones into relevant google docs when I get the time and clean up the recordings.

I use TaskWarrior[0]. Low friction..<p><pre><code> task add +read "Book title. Mentioned in interview [link for the resource] by X with Y. Useful because [reasons].
</code></pre>
Then I annotate the task<p><pre><code> task 180 annotate (triple quotes)(multi line thoughts)(triple quotes)(return)
</code></pre>
I also add notes there. I also used markdown files and MKDocs [old link: <a href="https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/" rel="nofollow">https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/</a>]<p>This stuff served as the seed of our knowledge base where I work.<p>- [0]: <a href="https://taskwarrior.org/" rel="nofollow">https://taskwarrior.org/</a>
If I'm on the go, I'll just take screenshots of that point in time and if I remember, I'll go back to that moment and take notes on it, google search it, or something.<p>If I can stop what I'm doing (if I'm on a walk), I will pause and take notes. With audiobooks, I can bookmark and take notes in Audible. I do wish I could see the transcription because I always worry Audible didn't capture the right portion of the audio so that when I go back to listen later it takes me a while to try to figure out what I bookmarked/clipped. Whereas in a physical book, I know exactly what I highlighted. Does that make sense?
If you use an iPhone, and listen to podcasts with headphones that have buttons: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/airr-highlight-podcasts/id1355926315" rel="nofollow">https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/airr-highlight-podcasts/id1355...</a><p>A triple tap creates highlights at the current location. If the podcast has transcripts, even the surrounding text is saved. It integrates with readwise.io too, so you have export/reminder options there as well.<p>Unfortunately nothing like this for audiobooks yet.
Hey there’s this website I use listennotes<p>It’s pretty good as it transcribe the audio and I usually capture interesting
links to resources shared in the podcast to my pocket app.<p>Last but not least I have a README file on github as TIL where I put stuff I discover from podcasts or just in general
