You've got a wealth of information pouring past your eyes and ears every day, and whether you're in school or you're just a lifetime learner, taking notes is an effective way to catalog and cement what you've learned. A simple notebook and paper used to be the only practical solution available, and while it's still an excellent option, modern note-takers can also take advantage of technology to turn their brain into a steel trap. That's why for this week's Hive Five, we want you to share your favorite note-taking tools—physical or digital. Keep reading for more details and to nominate the note-taking tool you love best.
The first round of the Hive Five voting takes place in the comments, where you nominate your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: Note-Taking Tool Goes Here. If you don't follow this format, your vote may not be counted. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.
About the Hive Five: Our new feature series, the Hive Five, asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get—"Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every Thursday, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's Hive Five best alternative file managers.
