I struggle with this. A kind of premature optimization. I get around it by taking really messy handwritten notes in a notebook (I guess this is called a dirt notebook, but I just call it my dirt notebook).

I get around this by making a deliberate attempt to organize my notes after I take them. I will usually try to turn them into a word doc with a lot of word art, but if they need to be in a repo or something, I will go with markdown.
