For me it's a combination of two factors. I recognize that well-written notes is a really valuable thing to have because there's a ton of things I need to know about and I won't remember it all, and I know that it's a lot of work to codify things well because I've tried and failed. I strongly suspect that, for me, "taking notes" is the problem. I want to believe I'll remember things, so note taking actually represents a failure on my part rather than the virtuous thing that I know I should do.
I think the answer for me is actually to share what I write with my team more. I'm quite good at documenting things, and the reason for that is because I'm writing docs for other people. If people mention seeing something in the docs then I tend to write more docs. If no one mentions them for a while my documenting dies off until I need to write more. If I could easily apply that mechanism to notes I might be more inclined to write things down.
