I personally don't attach any weight to note-taking as part of my identity or care about how other people do it. It's just a way to remember stuff. For example if I do personal therapy for an hour I'll take notes on what was discussed so I can refer to it. Otherwise I'm going to forget most of it and the therapy session was wasted. If I'm losing weight I'll plan exercises to do and record my weight. Etc. etc. It's not that complicated or meaningful. I've noticed if I really care about and love a subject I don't need to take notes. Those things are easy to remember and revisited often.
