In practice I've found it takes ten times as long writing in a way co-workers can understand as it does writing personal notes. As such I'll mostly write personal notes for my own reference and make a judgement call about where I put in the 10x effort to communicate to co-workers. Your approach seems to couple problem solving with communicating with co-workers. Sometimes that's an advantage - often not.
