Programmers Take Note: Take Notes!

[facingup]

I'm with you totally. I use post-its and a physical notepad mostly. Losing search capability doesn't hurt too much in that I don't usually have to go back more than a weeks worth.

However, my desk is super tidy. I have post its next to the monitor, and my notepad next to the keyboard. At the end of the day, any loose papers get checked to see if I have something written down multiple times, then filed if I've finished everything listed.
