If you go to the Dollar Tree - they have tiny composition notebooks that fit well in your back pocket. A pack for $1 - or I guess, $1.25 now that they raised the prices. I carry a pen that fits on my keychain. If I'm out and about I can jot something down. If I use my phone to take notes, they never get looked at. The act of taking it out of my pocket reminds me if I wrote something that I need to follow up when I'm home.

At home/office I have rocket book. I don't use the app, though. Throughout the workday I jot down notes. At the end of the day/week I will consolidate anything important to the front of the notebook and erase the pages.

I have an ipad, but taking notes with the pen just doesn't feel right for whatever reason. I've yet to find a solution I like for longer term notes (i.e. when reading a book).
