With my wife, I do it a little differently. Once a week or so, when the kids have fallen asleep, we’ll lie in separate beds—Johanna next to the baby, and me next to the 5-year-old. We’ll both be staring at our screens. Unlike the notes I keep with Torbjörn, these notes are shared. They are a bunch of Google docs.
This reminds me of the note-taking culture we have at Manifold, on Notion (which I would highly recommend as an alternative to Google docs—much more structured, easier to navigate and link between things, prettier!)
For example, while we do our daily standup meetings, we’re all jotting thoughts into our meeting notes, and often move between linked documents. To track who has been having which thought, we’ll prefix a particular bullet point with your initials e.g. “[A] Should we consider moving to transactions?”
And +1 on Google docs not being ideal. (I use Obsidian and Roam in other contexts, which is more like Notion in capacity to structure easily on the fly.)

That’s nice!
