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?

Help me remember, help me with to-dos, and grocery lists. I have interviews I need to keep track of, possible moving plans if I get an on-site or hybrid role, comparisons of tablets, etc. etc.

I currently use Google Keep since I am all Google'd at home, but for quick notes etc. I just use pen and paper. Anything important will go into the Google Keep. However for the move planning (which is more of a contingency plan) I'm using a Google docs template that is like a report. This way it's a little more organized.

I'm thinking to move to Apple ecosystem, so I may end up using their app - but for now, Google Keep works well.
