I used Cornell spiral notebooks throughout college and grad school, but they weren’t named that back then. They just were “really wide margin” sheets, with no box at the bottom of the page.

Anyone here use - or have an opinion of - Information Mapping techniques for note-taking / documentation?

Without going into the “how-to” details, that site suggests that a disciplined approach to creating, storing, and distributing snippets of “information” in a corporate environment is a good thing. (Makes some broad claims about benefits.)
But is that something applicable to personal note making / outlining?

I’m too lazy. I do it on paper or my reusable (erasable), anyway my method is uber freeform & not very amenable to digi/docs. Below link is from my bookmarks folder called Outliner. One easy upgrade is to to have outlines in the main 2 vertical sections.

They brand it cornell now, and no one to pay royalties to either.
