I'm at roughly 2 years, and I totally agree. If you make the friction to create a note high, you won't write anything down. I find tags sometimes helpful, but the only structure I really stick to is to create a daily note every day and start writing down what I need to do. It replaces a previous habit of creating a YYYYMMDD.txt file in Vim.

I sometimes organize book/paper notes in a specific folder, mostly to keep things separated out from the daily notes.
