I use a Boogie Board with the smart pen for that. It's probably one of the most extravagant luxury items I've ever bought($160 or so) for something that only gets occasional use, but it's amazing for mostly write only notes that I might theoretically consult again. It really does seem to have benefits for any activity that's primarily about actual thinking or creativity, as opposed to busywork or digging through documentation. I'm guessing a lot of the benefit is that screens are associated really strongly with the habit of procrastinating or scrolling rather than focusing.
