Very similar to what I have done. It's very powerful to have a lot of notes in one system like Evernote. Mine goes back to 2006. Likewise, I don't use it for document collaboration or any of the sharing functions – just personal notes synced.

Nowadays I create one note per day. I feel like I take a lot of notes – 500-4,000 words a day.

What balloons the size is I often find myself more in a transcription mode when I'm having critical conversations or interviewing people. Remote work makes this easier.

I've also developed a small number of short-hand annotations. eg. "(" for my inline thoughts, "[" for questions or topics I want to get to in a meeting.
