I am a bit conflicted about the note-taking part. If you keep writing notes, at some point you will have to search through all of them to find what you need. So you not only spend the time to write the note, you still have search for the solution and there's the risk of the solution becoming outdated (eg. maybe the problem now has a better solution due to new versions of software)

That's where org-mode (or some similar outlining or mind-mapping) comes in. It reduces your search from N to logN. In general I find that logN is faster than solving the problem from first principles again (N!).
