Sam's method of throwing away paper on the floor for the housekeeper to pick up shows his blatant attitude towards the housekeeper, doesn't it. I have my own method for notetaking and didn't find anything extra or special from Sam.

While i appreciate that the video got me into thinking of my own systems and kinda storm options… but I dont understand why videos like these are less about the system per se and more about the tools?

What if you want to remember something related to an URL?

Spiral pocket notebooks are versatile but not durable. The wired binding often bends out of shape. A small, hardcover notebook lasts longer.

you guys put soo much effort and mindgames into making the world worse

How different it would be if you would have the Supernote A6X2 E Ink tablet, which is also pretty small, which replaces all those lots of papers and can hold all of them at once?

Can you detail how you get the notes into Notion? Thanks for this review & help!

I thought I would contact 3M R&D to invent some hard plastic-like material that functions like a computerized sheet (imagine that it is a flat tablet looks like a acrylic sheet) but can be kept inside a cloth pocket (extra flat). The writing on the surface can be erased after you send the writing to a cloud. I thought that 12+ years ago. Now we are in the era of nano productions, right?

why not just use loose leaf paper then instead of ripping paper out of a spiral notebook

Great outline. Are you able to do a video of your process where we can get an idea of the prompts and workflow you use

Thanks for this! Subscribed!

I keep several notebooks handy, but none in my pockets. I'm not going to stick a paper notebook in my pocket. My goal is to reduce what I carry on my person to the absolute minimum. (1) Rhodia A5-sized (flips open vertically). It has perforated pages. I figure out what to do with the notes, tear the page out and toss it. (2) Same thing, but Rhodia's large sized (A4? Not sure.) just because sometimes I like a large medium. I write a bunch. I transcribe what I need. Tear out and toss. (3) William Hannah leatherbound ring-based notebook: journaling. That's it (4) Larger-sized glue-bound notebook for creative writing. I fill these with stories and poetry. Eventually they are tossed out once everything lands in a computer. (5) I have a Supernote coming. That will be an experiment to replace number 4 and maybe number 3. We'll see. (6) My phone: Joplin and sometimes Google Keep. THAT'S all I carry in my pocket. I do carry a pen everywhere I go: Parker Jotter. Best pen on the planet, hands down. You can make it gel, ballpoint, or rollerball. Up to you. My 2nd brain and writing platform on the computer: Joplin. I have tried everything fairly extensively and Joplin is the only one that really services my needs.

This is excellent! Thank you.

YT. Good show. Very pleasant good voice good topic. Just a quick thought. I dispense with as many fabric type bags as possible preferring the reusable, heavy duty, clear plastic resealable food type bags. They’re sturdy, much lighter, last forever are totally so cheap and you can see what the heck is in it instead of opening it and rooting around.

I'm a pen and pencil freak, what was the white pen in your tech pouch?

I use a top bound spiral 3x5 notebook all the time for todo lists, etc., because it weighs nothing and easily fits in any pocket. And you can use both sides of the sheet because the top bound spiral doesn't get in the way of writing. But for longer but also portable notes there is the top spiral bound 4x8 inch 70 sheet Portage Reporter's Notebook, which has a stiff back for holding in one hand, and fits in a back jeans pocket. Hands free carry, just not in a shirt pocket like the smaller one. I use them bare, because any fancy covers just get in the way. They are big enough for brainstorming as well. Of course for that a big spiral notebook gives you twice the room to scribble , describe, and surround a project. But they are not what I call portable. The Reporter's Notebook is a good compromise for any portable note-taking need, whether tear-off reminders or extended notes. And they are only a couple of bucks apiece. Last time I got a dozen for 20 bucks.

why would you even think of publishing these video , who need such information , its individual choice.

The snickers bar comment lol

Heh I just learned that Sam Altman is a one-sided note ripper like me!

What brand/model is that thin wall charger?

When you say “agency” what do you mean?

I love sapiens! & anything Yuval Harari! Great loadout of your gear & use. I particularly like actualI-use gear & not just promo videos. Thx!

Never met a spiral notebook where the spiral was equal to my lifestyle. They might last a day before crushed.

Can you tell me about how you use notion with your books

What’s your note taking strategy in your books

Glad the algorithm let me see this

Why the two mics though? :D

Yes!!! It's Bill and it's an EDC video - great combination!! :)) Will watch this a little later with a nice tea :)

Great video Bill, thank you! I purchased the notebooks from your link. 😎

I just wanna say I am five seconds in and I am in love with your set the colors visuals. OK now back to the rest of the video.

using this approach from the ages. It's simple, straight-forward and handy to use.

Leaders are readers and note-takers.

Bill, another great and helpful video! The Discovery call bit you spoke about from 10:00 onwards, really spoke to me this morning, and gave me a few ideas for my own work - so, many thanks indeed for that! :)

Just rewatching this again - it's an excellent video Bill that's got me buying more spiral notebooks that I love :) Many thanks!

I’ve been using the bullet space pen for decades , it’s great because you can always have it in your pants pocket and it will never leak nor put holes in your pocket.

Eye opener to me such 19 min content can be done talking about stuff like using one’s note pad (and trying to fit in different size pens for 2 mins that was a highlight). I got click baited assuming that he is going to tell about some path breaking notes taking method.

Question? Isnt genious note taking more about the organization, but about which pen to use and explain that again and again.

Brand ?

Honestly field notes are not worth it unless you have the spare cash. Yes they have some great looking covers, but that’s about it. I’ve found notebooks in my local bookshop and on Amazon which are pretty identical for 1/3 the price. It’s just not worth it.

Bro has the p*rn hub text package lol

Wow! SamAltman knows his pens. Good choices. ❤

Surely not ideal for me. Everybody is unique. I am more visual so not possible to take any notes with such a simple notebook and simple pen. He is i guess a KISS type.

This deserves lot more views, it's very simple and effective strategy. Thanks for the tips Bill

Napoleon hill, a great author indeed, exceptional wisdom you can observe in his writings. If we only learn from the perfect then we learn nothing, as thee perfect never exists! I will try the notes, I was looking for something like that, thanks.

I took notes with pocket spiral notebooks for decades. Primarily because they were cheap, portable, fit in my shirt pocket and easy to search. I retired a year ago and kept my most important notebooks until recently. It was fun to review my career flipping through them.

Hey Bill, I was fed your video in my Browse feed, but great insights and breakdowns here. Recently purchased both and have already used Expert Secrets in a client webinar. It's a gold mine. Great content, keep it up!

I compile some of the notes as freely as possible, some with the precision of a clock. In its smallest pocket, there is an A7 notebook that is weatherproof and resistant to ink pens. There are scattered comments if it is not possible to write in an A5 folder. I have in the backpack (EDC) one folder: 1) A5 leather folder with an A5 size annual calendar (pre-printed). 2) Self-printed note pages (Cornel principle) adapted to your daily needs. Each day consists of its own page exactly like the clock. 3) For free narration (BUJO) and ideation, Cornel pages in A5 size. Pages with folder perforation, so they are archived monthly in an A4 folder. Most of the notes are unnecessary afterwards, so I don't carry useless papers with me. Bujo pages are composed continuously according to the need and content. For archiving important and memorable things, a diary number to facilitate later checking.
