How to take notes with photos, audio and drawings
Sometimes text isn't enough: a photo, a voice note or a sketch say in an instant what would take lines to explain. The best notes mix formats.
Why mix formats
On a site visit you take a photo and write on it; in a meeting you record a voice note while jotting the key points; for a quick idea you sketch. All in the same note, without jumping between ten apps.
A scheme that works
- a clear, searchable title;
- the text with the essentials;
- supporting photos, annotated if needed;
- audio for details you can't write down in time.
Finding them later
A note's value is being able to find it again: sensible titles, one note per topic, and everything synced between phone and computer.
