I'm hanging over this for a long time too, util I dive into the https://orgmode.org/, yes! It's all about "organize your life in plain text", I think this is the answer.

Most of the notes you carefully and "secretly" took, are nothing more than some useless information for others, but it helps you to understand the things you're taking or just make yourself to understand your own idea better.

From my perspective, I do not think some note taking procedure would help me to become a better person, to become better, one has to put hard working and generates good ideas, not just pass the exercise or get an A in you exam.
