A physical notebook has been excellent for me for capture and increased retention/recall.

Where it falls apart is locating informatoin.

For this, logseq has been invaluable, having no set standard or way than scribbling my notes the same way in logseq, with completely invented hashtags that only I remember (yay) I never have to tag much on my own, thanks to the auto-tagging plugin, I just type the word and it does it on it's own as long as I've done this.

This kind of a work journal is more of a log, it doesn't quite hit the spot of "where do I put a longer form document" similar to what Obsidian, Notion, or Anytype might allow. That's probably a lack of my looking into it. I have seen people install a Logseq vault inside a Obsidian directory to have the best of both worlds in one storage and that seems quite elegant and simple for a solution.

I'm more and more considering a Remarkable or Supernote... as I do like the writing and drawing.

If anyone's using an ipad mini to make their note taking life easier happy to hear as well, the screen is a tad small, it can be partially reoriented, etc, but mostly these days, note taking is about workflow too
