>"for most people most places."

This is, to say the least, not something you are able to speak to with certainty.

As someone who has been note-taking in a variety of formats, via a variety of mediums for the better part of my 40+ years on this planet, I can assure you, the system that works best is the one that works best for the individual. Universalizing something as intimate and personal as idea capture is, again, silly. I have been a writer my whole life, friends with writers most of that time, a graduate of two writing degrees at two different schools, and a teacher of writing. If you think you've somehow unlocked "best practices" when it comes to note-taking, you're way out of the convo. There ain't one.
