Three journals/sets of docs:

Active - Currently doing/note taking on current task. The idea is not to recall later but for the task at hand. This is physical.

Reflective - After completing a task take the active notes and refine and update them for someone other than you. This is a git repo my team has access to.

Aspirational - Ideas, concepts, all that jazz. For me this is lots of mechanical drawings etc that I want to CAD up, interesting phenomena that could be reproduced with code, far fetched ideas to solve the world's problems, nothing is off limits. This is a physical notebook and the one thing I'd grab if my house was on fire.

Google has some good resources on technical writing[1].
