Ask HN: How do you organize your notes?

I work as a Senior Developer at a large tech comapny across many different projects. I have also recent started the transition to an SDM role. One thing I'm finding is that I have reached my capacity for remembering all the different items I need to follow up on, tasks that need to get done, notes from 1:1s, and long running project ideas/growth ideas.

I've started taking more notes, but without a good system for organization I am not getting much value out of them.

I'd be curious to hear what works for the rest of you. Specifically: - What tools have you found useful for note taking (I bounce between vimwiki and OneNote)? - How do you organize? By project? Tasks? - How do you structure the notes? Do you have a template? - How do you deal with "scratchpad" style notes? Do you ever come back to them? - How often do you revisit your notes?

Any other general good note taking practices or methodologies that you have found success with would be helpful.
