  I've settled on something similar and just use Apple Notes. I find note taking to be a lot like a camera, use the thing you have on you. For me this means it must be easy to take a note from any device at any time. I know it's locked into Apple, etc..., but being able to draw notes on the iPad, quick type notes from my iPhone, or type (and search) across all of those from my Mac is what finally made it 'stick' for me. Notion looks interesting, but too flexible can often be a problem. The danger is it's easy to slip into the thought that organizing equates to getting things done.

    Nice thing is the iPad has thumb recognition on the home button, so I just placing thumb turns it on and notability is already on screen. It’s really close to the utility of paper with few of the downsides, the one thing I miss is resistance when using the pencil, I keep thinking about a remarkable 2 because they apparently have a closer to paper feeling but they cost as much as a new iPad does and the iPad is a more capable device generally.
