I’m using Scrivener to take notes for college classes. My handwriting is atrocious so I wanted to use my laptop to take notes that I can read. Scrivener works great because I can break everything down into the individual chapters we are going over as well as any assignments are kept in the corresponding chapter file. I don’t have to flip through pages of notes or scroll through a Word file to find what I need because with the search function I type in what I’m looking for and there it is in front of me.
I’m also working on how-to-budget and save money books and Scrivener works great by breaking down all my ideas and items I want to talk about into sections that can be worked on individual and then later compiled into the whole.
I really, really like Scrivener (except for the bullet list bug I keep meeting).
