Taking notes by hand makes you better thinker and more organized.

I use my notebook like everybody else, but list of topics I wanna check late and don't wanna forget, I do like Japanese Mangas, from the last page towards the first page.

So I check which topic I wanna check at the end of the notebook, then I go back to the first pages to cover it, be it a task at work, a hobby project, etc.

And of course, work has its own notebook, hobbies has its own notebook, DIY has its own notebook.

That way I keep things organized, and allows me to draft thoughts before spending time actually looking into them.
