Mika,
Just to clarify, I don’t print stuff out to keep in a notebook. I use a notebook for things like brochures, business cards, junk mail, things that are already printed and in my hand. I find it’s easier than scanning it and I like having some inspiration that isn’t on the computer. The most important thing, obviously, is that you do whatever works for you. Evernote is a great choice.

For #7,8,10: I use EverNote Free. Personally, I prefer to stay away from printing stuff and taking paper notes. Web clippings and electronic notes, like emails, are searchable. Also, a problem I’ve had with bookmarks is linkrot (see wikipedia).

Mike-HID,
Thanks for the feedback. I agree the web clippings are helpful, but I wouldn’t say that they help me to retain more of what I am reading. They may make it easier to go back and find it later, but if my goal is remembering more of what I am reading, writing it down does help.

I find taking notes works best for me when trying to remember a block of text. I just keep writing it out over and over again and eventually i memorize it
