There’s no single best method

From outlining to the Cornell method to free-form capture, the best note-taking method is the one you’ll actually use consistently for the work you do.

Capture first, organize later

A common thread across methods is reducing friction at capture, then organizing afterward — which is easier when AI can structure messy notes for you.

Make notes recallable

The real test of any method is whether you can find and reuse notes later. Search and AI recall turn notes into lasting value.

Amplify your method with AI

In Wyatt, whatever method you use, the assistant can structure, summarize, and recall your notes, and turn follow-ups into tasks.
