For the software side of things, I was frustrated enough to develop what basically ended up as sticky notes in 2D+3D (shameless plug: https://www.temin.net/). I use it for note-taking quite a bit.

How I experience those notes in Temin is different to other software, but my methodology is basically unchanged:

- Even if it's just text (I doodle/sketch a lot) I actively consider using a pen before a keyboard.

- If it's something external I'm trying to remember/integrate I experience it (listen/read/watch/do etc), then take notes.

I think some of the allure of note-taking software comes down to the idea it can eat your vegetables for you when it comes to methodology. It can't. Software can add value to your notes via how experience/relate/link/query etc them, but if you put garbage in, you will get garbage out.
