For me, it helps to slow down my thoughts and aides deep work. I draw diagrams, connect blurbs with arrows, and “link” to other page numbers.

This is still missing the "what" for me. What do you write down about the work?

Is it a plan for what you're about to work on? Is it a breakdown? Is it facts you learn as you work through something? Is it a minute by minute journal of what you've done? Is it just interesting details? Is it to-dos? Is it opinions you're trying to clarify?

Diagrams I get, my desk is covered in scribbled diagrams to help me visualise something or communicate it to a colleague.
