For me, pen/pencil and paper is for throwaway notes when I need to distil an idea down or slow my thinking to focus on something I can't quite reason about in my head fully. It's more of an unloading mechanism that gives me more space to think than my head allows alone. It's not actually something I use for note taking at all, for this I tend to just use OneNote/Obsidian/Confluence (whatever I need to at the time).
I would like to explore using stuff like Zettlekastan note systems with emacs a bit more for actually holding onto a web of knowledge that I refer to. Though this is a different ends, and so requires a different means.
