For people who take a lot of notes

​One of the nerdiest things I take creat pleasure in: filling a whole notebook

Here's a pic from me in 2020 celebrating my completed notebooks.

Before you ask, yes, most of my notes are digital. 

I also digitize all of my physical notes.

I only take physical notes when I'm conversations with people because taking notes on your phone or computer really changes the social dynamics. 

People think you're not paying attention and getting distracted by social media when you take notes digitally.

Tip for people who take a lot of notes: take photos/screenshots of them and set up the photos as rotating wallpaper on your computer.

That way whenever you see your desktop, you get a little reminder of what you wrote notes about. 

I actually use it a bit like Twitter. Whenever I feel the urge to be distracted/look at something else, I just quickly look at my desktop and get a little dopamine hit of random information I thought was important enough to write down.

For example, here's my desktop image right now. Random notes about English history, Byzantium history, and my visit to a temple in Malaysia. 

About 10 minutes ago, it was notes from something completely different.
