I have landed on journal (ordered by timestamp) + occasional topics ("spatial") pattern of blob notes.

Doing topics is too hard initially and you end up hitting some point where you feel like you need to refactor. Doing "journal" dated entries mean you are allowed to copy the entire entry again and rewrite it without thinking about refactoring.

I would imagine that due to the way paper and pen work, in the old days things must have been a bit like this "no erase/no refactor" method.
