When I hear something in a podcast that I want to save, there’s a very cool app called Airr that you can use to capture snippets of a recording. I use Pocket to read and highlight articles and web pages, and I just use the Kindle app on my iPad to highlight books that I read.

Sometimes I will take my highlighted books and articles and make notes about that content, which helps me to develop my own thinking on and understand of the subject.ĭK: All sorts of different things: bookmarks, PDFs, screen captures from webinars, links to videos and audio, liked items from Twitter, and my own notes, reflections, and ideas.ĪS: I collect a whole host of different kinds of information including articles, websites, images, links, videos, quotes or excerpts from books or other sources, forms, templates, checklists, and more.ĪK: I am a sole practitioner handling only one type of legal matter. I find I don’t take as many notes outside of work as I used to, but occasionally I will take notes from conferences I attend or other online events.
