Finding things later is downstream of deciding what you want to remember, which isn't going to be clear on the first pass through. The act of taking the note is supposed to be more intense than sitting there and thinking "yeah I'll remember that".

So my workflow is to take notes from my notes repeatedly, until I've distilled what I want out of them. Having a variety of stationary is part of this, but I'll also use text editors or spreadsheets. That is, I think, the "bicycle for the mind" use of the computer. If I start acting like an archivist that has to publish cited works or a student grubbing for the grade by dotting the i's and crossing the t's, then I get away from the thought.
