If you are writing anything detailed and in-depth, often times writing is also a way to get things out of the working memory for us to find space to expand the original idea. We can revise, condense better when we can see and visualize things rather than hold the idea in the entirety in high fidelity in our working brain. I am super skeptical of organizing notes though, if your working memory has not managed to process the idea and come up with an outcome which is shareable in a given window, its unlikely that revisiting it, linking it upto concepts in a document ever brings the rewards. Would love to see someone publish an MRI of the brain as we are writing versus the phase before it. Do we see increased activity in some centers and do we see that activity reducing post writing? Is that true for any creative endeavour?
