I agree, one of the ideas that I started applying from the book "steal like an artist" involved having an analog and a digital desk for work.

You have creative ideas and brainstorm at the analog desk, then document, iterate, and refine your ideas at the digital desk.

It seems that no matter what ideas I come up with for capturing creative moments, it becomes vastly simpler if I just use pencil and paper. But I have started finding ways to capture with tech in a low-friction way.

One of them is using the Voiceliner app during times where it's not convenient to write things down. It also forces me to express my idea in natural language.
