At least in my case, it is difficult to overstate how unlike linear “notes” those scribblings actually are. They aren’t remotely consumable outside the context in which they were created. It really is treated like swap space for working memory. I do go through all the old papers when I discard them but 99% of the time there is no discernible value. The thought process that created them is strongly non-linear, which does not lend itself to naive linear consumption at all later date.
