Handwritten notes on my paper calendar or in my journal/diary/notebook or on random scraps of paper; since I generally keep track of things spatially, this approach works better than digital notes, which all get flattened to a nebulous point in my mind. CTRL+F is wonderful, but the barrier to getting to the file in the first place is too high. I'll keep using this for archiving notes I think I'll want to access later, until I finally grow out of that and realize that a thought I had three years ago is relatively unimportant. I'm not there yet, and still compulsively comb through my notes, saving some and discarding others.
For awhile I was chucking notes into Obsidian but now I'm in the process of transferring it all of my phone to text files on my laptop and using paper more again. The shine is off Obsidian; takes too long to load, and the Find action is too out of reach. I like the act of writing by hand, anyway.
