I generally find note taking slowing me down in my thought process.
If your goal is to not get slowed down then you could try seeing the paper as a canvas you can use in any way—not just in a formal ‘note taking’ way. Add visual memory to your brain. A bit like talking out loud—use the air and the acoustic memory as memory aid. Or like a conversation where your partner bounces ideas back and thereby adds memory (albeit with a filter).
