This writer loves to take notes. Handwritten notes. Digital notes. Mental notes. You get it. Not exactly a shocking revelation for a writer to admit. It's the where, how and why we take our notes that has the maker community most interested.

In our complicated world of endless items to remember, to-do lists to check-off, lessons to learn, and feelings to work through, note-taking isn't just about scrawling in old jotters. There are tons of note-taking products ranging from simple, laser focussed apps to full-on brain replacements.
