How and why do you take notes? (beehaw.org)

Kind of a broad question. I wonder why people take notes - Is it for studies or learning? Is it just to remember things? Is it to make your own map of your knowledge? Is it because you just want a place to vent out your feelings into the void?

What do you use to accomplish that? App? Paper? A chat room?

I take note for almost everything from Journaling about my day, keeping information about work, assignment to making some sort of 'wiki' for my personal world building materials. I have ADHD so keeping note help me lifting some burden out of my brain. (Which they tend to forget a lot) I also learn and remember better when I write thing down.

I kind of not settled what I want to stick with yet but I don't think I will find one fit all solution for my needed. Currently I keep all sort of note digitally since it's easier and faster for me to find and access what I need. Currently testing joplin and obsidian!
