I play PC, and I have a notepad up and can switch to it if I need to jot something down to research later. I also just have an actual note pad and pen next to me. I even use my phone which has a notepad, and I can watch YouTube and review xiv content. What I would really like is coordinates for certain mobs and ingredients in game. But that is what my phone is for too, to check the Eorzea Database.
