The best way to deal with fleeting notes is a pen and paper.<p>The next best solution is Tap [0] (disclaimer: I am the founder).<p>I had a few revelations related to these kinds of notes:<p>In order for them to get collected, they need to be collectable from anywhere (if not pen and paper: email, sms, browser, whatever).<p>The note system should accommodate many different types of information: links, tasks, events, transactional information, formulas, etc. Plain-text doesn't work because over time you'll develop more and more sophisticated systems. Without a standard notation system you will lose the ability to process and analyze your notes and the information they contain.<p>[0]. <a href="https://www.tatatap.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.tatatap.com</a>
