"Granted I don't have much cause to take notes these days, but to the degree I do I wind up doing it by hand simply because it's still faster to do things like make lines and charts by hand. The trick IMHO is not to end it there though. At the very least I snap a picture to digitize it. But my preference is to recompose it entirely in digital form when I have the time. Digital is still superior as it's easier to index and organize, and allows me to move things around, insert things and add the details I didn't have the time to jot down as it was happening. (Evernote is a godsend for all of this and perfectly designed for this sort of workflow)" - Eric P
