Paper is great for transient stuff that is relevant for at most a week or two, but it really goes downhill when you try to capture information you'll want to revisit in the future. Paper is great for todo lists and in the moment notes, but not so great for knowledge base building.

I used to struggle with a lot of tools before too and now use org-roam for longer term notes. The linking model helps a lot with just _writing_ the stuff down and not worrying about how to organize it too much in the moment.
