OneNote is also good at this. though not as good as I need (e.g. I would want recognizing shapes).
But my point is different: Digitizing quick notes leads to a very different workflow. It creates incentives to create notes of permanent type (“disk”). Creating these takes more effort and reduces your RAM instead of expanding it so to speak.
I’m wondering if there could be a visual equivalent of the memory palace technique for note taking?
I think that would be worth exploring and might also explain why notes work for some people and not for others.
I do not have a strong visual imagination but I am very good with concepts and abstract relationships. I often connect topics on paper, place text close to other, or use lines and circles to group things.
