I’m missing a key piece of context here—when you say “doing something good” are you referring to educational or research reading; or do you mean any type of personal project which may or may not involve background research?
I may have some practical observations about note-taking which may be relevant, if I understand the context.
I specifically am talking about solving problems that nobody knows the answer to, where you are probably even wrong about what the problem even is. I am not talking about taking notes on existing material. I am talking about documenting the process of generating knowledge.
I am saying that I forget important ideas that I generated in the past, probably they are not yet so refined that they are impossible to forget.
Thank you for the clarification. Do you have a process or a methodology for when you try and solve this kind of “nobody knows” problems? Or is it one of those things where the very nature of these problems being so novel means that there is no broad method that can be applied?
Here. There is a method you can have. This is just a small pice of what I do. I also probably haven’t figured out many important methodological things yet.

Also this is very important.
