6 techniques for taking notes with mobile phone

There are three main note taking techniques with mobile phone.

1.Typed Note
Typed note can be saved in sms drafts or mobile phone notes. Usually they are short. To type faster on mobile phone don't look as you type and use right arrow to use same key for two different characters.
Typed note can be taken anywhere. Nobody will be disturbed if you type on mobile phone.

2.Voice clips
When you record voice clip tell everything that is in your head. It will ease recognising what was note about when taking note in noisy environment and notes will be more comprehensive.
Additionaly record environment sounds that will allow you to recognise what was position of note.
To improve voice clip use also camera that will record environment in which clip was recorded.

3.Fotos&video
Pictures will help you remember things and share interesting things with friends. You can take pic of your monitor or some flyer. Pic can be taken in second. If you have an error message on computer screen that dissapears in second you can take a pic and read it latter.
If you have an long url address you want to remember (like when uploading a foto on web or file)
it's time to take a pic!

4.Callendar&alarms
useful for events that will come and continious events (like time to get out of bed, time to leave for school, etc.)

5.Contacts
Sometimes you want to ask someone about something. You can write some notes to your contacts and when you meet this person you can (elegantly) check what was that you wanted to ask?

6.Written notes
Writing phone's system codes on battery sticker is not half as fun as sticking 5€ under battery.
Not to even mention writing notes on sim card.. :)


When you latter process notes also time and order of notes can help to understand better the circumstances of these notes and their meanings.
