First, let me tell you about my living situation and environment. I believe those two are very important in making these kinds of decisions. I live in a very tightly neat society. I meet my parents, and friends most often. But I was really good at hiding my situation. That made my problem worse. Why? Because, no one knew what I was dealing with. Everyone would realize I'm missing for a couple of days but they all figured I was busy. But I was going through hell.
I have tried various ways of threatening myself. Seeking professional advice is out of the question for me as I live an average life in a developing country.
So I gave up. But one day I decided to take a walk. It gave me a breather. So I did it again, this time longer. By the time I came up from my long walks I would be tired so I would eat and fall asleep.
This continued for months and years. Each time making my walks longer and longer, untill I would get so tired that all I wanted to do was eat and sleep.
I have been doing that for more than 3 years now. I feel active now and I have added Taekwando to my exercise too. At the same time period, I got the courage to marry my girl friend. Now we are having a baby.
I don't believe that I don't get depressed any more. Or may be I was never depressed in the first place as bad as other people. But I don't lock myself in my room for days thinking about death anymore.
1. Better organization. One note organizes my files into notebooks and pages. This is really important to me to prepare study notes, as I find arranging the notes just like the technical books' table of content I'm reading.
2. To easily apply Cornell(two columns of hint and description) note taking method.
3. To search easily. Once I studied a book and took my notes well, there is no better way to search and recall.
4. Sketch with my notes. This helps me represent ideas I study into my own mental model. Also great for representing my startup ideas.
5. Record myself into the note reciting the material.voice memo.
6. Doing all of the above on my computer and phone and finding everything in place.
Again, there might be work around for doing all this. But once you get into Evernote and OneNote you find it really hard to go back into text files.
