![]() There is no direct integration between the two, minus text being exported from Nebo and imported into Notion. ToolsĪll of that being said, I've found two applications that meet almost those exact requirements: Notion and Nebo. The goal is to take all the handwritten data from the ingest phase, convert it to text, and get it organized somewhere. It's less about form and more about function. My organized notes are typically a glorified spreadsheet with lots of bullet points and structured data. I'm not a fan of free form note-taking applications. The downside is that searching through my scrawl hasn't always been easy. On the other hand, when I write notes out, part of my brain goes back to high school and college where I know I need to remember the information for later use. My memory retention with typed notes isn't the best: I tend to forget everything since I know it's stored away somewhere else. My handwriting is horrible but I like to write out my notes. Going back to my comment above, I'm looking for ways to improve (1) my data ingest and (2) my data organization. There's a whole slew that I've tried and quickly moved away from. Trello, Apple Notes, Joplin, SimpleNotes, etc.It's too flexible with notes being scattered everywhere, it's not always the most intuitive UI, and it never seems to fit in with the workflow that I'm expecting. The result in the end is always the same: I don't like OneNote. I've told myself the integration with Outlook was an awesome boost to productivity. I've forced myself to use it for months at a time. I've tried multiple times to like OneNote. The abundance of integrations was also nice, but the core product started leaving a lot to be desired. It also lacked a lot of the flexibility I was looking for: tagging and keywords only go so far. However, I started to feel like development had stagnated with OneNote eating into a lot of the business. ![]() It also doesn't help that my handwriting is horrible and I can't always decipher what I was trying to write. I always tell myself I'll transcribe the notes: instead I end up with cryptic phrases that seem to be written in dead languages. I still use it quite a bit, but I'll eventually end up with yellow legal pads covered in scrawl. If I had to look back, these are the applications and methods that I'd previously used: It really comes down to two major functions: (1) ingesting the data and (2) organizing the data. This could range from customer meetings to internal notes to product documentation. Most of my jobs over the years have required copious amounts of notes. This article covers my latest iteration of productivity tools and methods, with my latest being Notion in combination with Nebo. ![]() This can range from spreadsheets, to note-taking applications, to the good ol' pen and paper. Every 6-12 months I try to revisit my note-taking and productivity tools to find areas of improvement. I'm a fan of finding the minimal amount of effort required to produce the maximum amount of results.
