How do you use your Notes tab?

Post by Dr Brad » Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:20 pm

I've had troubles in the past managing my RS time when it comes to recurring resources/challenges. Hence, I set up my Notes tab to help me keep track of when to revisit these items:
notes.png
notes.png (61.58 KiB) Viewed 5970 times
"0 GMT" means it resets according to Jagex time. Typically on or after 7pm Eastern time for me.

"24 hr" means it resets 24 hours after I did the item last.

I typically link getting daily sand (80) from Bert with buying seaweed in Catherby (80). This also involves a quick stop to get 150 flax.

I also link harvesting/planting calquat trees with picking up free pineapples (40) in Brimhaven from pirate (with Karamja 3 gloves)

Ofc, I keep track of Tears and the Skeletal Horror via the quest list.

Since the notes tab enhancement, I've only used it for one thing. When I was no-lifing Soul Wars, I was hopping around SW CCs to get winning team calls. Depending on which SW world I was on, and which CC was more accurate at the time (it would vary WILDLY), I would need to know what CCs I used successfully so that I could go back to them. Almost all of the CCs in my screen shot are now inactive, as it's been a while since I no-lifed SW.

Note: #S_W_Allies was a very well run IRC channel for team/world calling until internal politics destroyed it. Typical kids stuff. lol

I use it to help me remember the tough things like:
"Socks first then shoes"
and
"don't stick pebbles in your nose"

For real though, pretty much empty except for a chat or two for soul wars that I don't play.

Mine just says "deep pain" in case I forget who I am.

[size=85]I'm bitter that Jagex has spent $50+ million of RS subscriptions developing other games instead of improving RS. If you're reading one of my posts and I even allude to Dungeoneering as a "skill" instead of minigame, keep that in mind.[/size]

If I stumble across a penguin before I actually do pengs for the week, I list where I saw it and what it looked like.

I also keep track of far off goals that I may forget about (get master white knight rank, for example.)

I had not hardly used the Notes tab at all, but I now use it in the same way that you do, Brad. I had always kept track of times in a notepad application, but this is more convenient. Thanks.

None at all to be honest. I've far superior and advanced tools (like notepad) than the one ingame.

I had an awesome signature, but the internet went bankrupt.

I only used it once awhile ago to remind myself of a few irl things. Not even for in game use, seems rather silly to me.
[b]Classic:[/b] Combat 084 - 1134 Total Level.
[b]Pre-Eoc[/b] Combat 121 - 2288 Total Level.

Retired fall of 2012. Goodluck Koa! :)

It is always interesting to see how different people plat!

Personally, I us the notes to track what day I did Miscellania, and to note prices I paid for items I am merching. For example, right now I only have two noted on the list...
Misc 1/20
BGS 27.8m

I am not really merching the BGS, but I have flipped a few in the past, and so I am just remembering what I bought it for in case I decide to sell it.

I used it to take notes of events that I deemed "important" before the Adv. Log came out, and the habit continues lol
EX) Date that I decided I wanted to get 99 anything, date that I completed WGS, so on (:

Also, I have a couple notes about what cc's to go to for minigames
EX) xxdeathx, ecoelf, w2lostsouls, 1 elite sc
