> it creates some other kind of mental load Agree with raytracer, that it works contrary to this. Writing things down in a system that you can reliably go back and check, tells your brain to calm down about this thought. If required, you can always reference it later. You will need to classify points as either tasks or general information you want to store for later. The cool part of tools like Roam, Obsidian, is that you can create bi-directional links. So if you are intentional about this and if you're referencing something related later, you will come across this point and it may be useful then.
