there are lots of different types of note takers out there and there are lots of
different personalities that go with note taking today we're going to dive into four traditional
types of note-taking personalities and which one might suit you which will improve and help tailor
the selection of application you go with so a big thank you today to Miro for sponsoring this video
Miro is a powerful tool for teams to collaborate together in real time perfect for remote teams
hybrid teams and in-person collaboration now you can find a link in description below but
we'll be using Miro throughout this video to demonstrate the personalities so let's dive
into these four personalities and they are called the organizer the note taker the Sketcher and The
Collector so we're going to demonstrate this in a bit of a matrix and then talk about some apps
that might tailor best to these experiences so the first is the organizer and the organizer is
really what it says on a 10 somebody that likes to traditionally organize their setups and this can
be done through a wide variety of ways folders tanks and labels are commonly associated with
that type of organization now commonly tools that are best suited for something like this are more
traditional tools like PKM and also like Evernote and those sort of traditional Nimbus notes
Etc that are more suited to having those setups and systems that are normally passed down through
things and systems like GTD getting things done by David Allen so if you're an organizer and you've
already seen this kind of thing on the back of your mind these tools might be best suited
for you although do note that in the future the traditional tools will typically probably grow
out of organizing as a concept due to Artificial Intelligence coming in and making it a lot easier
to make those systems and processes of obsolete but obviously time will tell the second type of
personality in note-taking is the collector it's somebody that just wants to collect things across
their day whether that's inspiration or audio visuals and things like that and then what they
do is be able to resurface it be able to come back to it and find it for later and this is normally
through search and through be able to maybe even mood board it together and sort of find
that in the storage so these applications probably more suited for those that are much more visual
so my mind is a good example of a note-taking application that's suited to that Evernote also
has powerful search for multimedia but also so does many of the other sort of platforms that are
sort of very much fixated like Dropbox which has Dropbox paper as part of its assisting practice
so collectors and much more to do with the finding of the tool and that can help to make the decision
until to be able to work out whether the type of the way that you use it helps to match the tool
that you're using so the next personality is the Sketcher and this is typically someone who likes
to visually demonstrate stuff this could be through flowcharts diagrams actual sketching
and much more like that now there has been many different tools that offer an experience like this
like if your team mirror might be a good one for you but in terms of note-taking experiences this
is commonly best for like apps like good notes and apps that are designed around that sort of
notability that those sort of visual systems are traditionally best with iPad but there are
a couple of others that are growing in popularity like Muse and many more that are a really visual
sketching and it is also really not to take apps off the card but there are more popular tools like
remarkable and Kindle scribe that can help you visually demonstrate stuff and still incorporate
that note-taking aspect so if you see yourself a Sketcher these sort of applications can can
be really popular for that I know somebody who routinely follows a channel he loves mind node
as a solution to do flow charts and sketching but there is always Miro as well if you're looking
at it on the screen and being like wow this is pretty cool next up is the Note Taker now this
is somebody who likes to use notes taking quickly and easily but also likes the ability to use voice
dictation text to speech and maybe even some of the artificial intelligence features and these
applications tend to be pretty available most of them like notion is a good one of these craft is a
good one of these men also a good one of these and they're all types of applications that are really
designed to make you quickly capture them Evernote another good one you know bear is a good one
they're the ones that just get it in and be up to you know find and Source it for later but they're
the ones that are much more focused on the text element of this so they're not necessarily about
capturing visuals and documents and stuff like that or organizing it in coordinated ways they're
looking about taking a note and building depth in them and those are typically good applications to
come along with the Note Taker that personality in style so hopefully you found this video helpful in
finding the type of Personality that you are maybe it helped to refine your process and
finding the best note-taking application for you if you're interested in Mirror you can find it
