Ask HN: What do you use as a scratchpad for your notes?

To my fellow engineers, what do you use to jot down and organize your note/thoughts/learnings? I see a lot of people using Google Docs, Evernote, or Sublime, but I've never liked any of them. Do any of these work for you all? Is there a better option out there?

    I mostly use paper and pencil. Sometimes I write plain files placed in a directory on my computer, though.

    a scratchpad.

    ie a physical notebook. the act of writing reinforces memory.
