Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?

All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.

I have an entire Second Brain on OneNote organized into sections pertaining to many things. There is no tagging system. I have recently gotten into Obsidian. It is fully free and there are ways to get around the subscription to sync feature. It has tagging, uses primally markdown which I am now learning more of and so many free plugins like kanban style boards and spreadsheets. I had previously used links in OneNote to link to Google Sheets but now I will move some important info to Obsidian. Where you can link within and externally plus so many more features, and for all platforms.
