I've been trying to get my son to take notes forever. He doesn't, except in one area -- his video channel ideas. He's gotten pretty good at pulling my phone (he doesn't have one) and sending himself a note via our family slack.
We were skiing last weekend and I had a really good idea for him -- I shared it with him and he said, "Get your phone out, write that down!" I said, "There's no way I'll forget, it's too good..!"
Neither of us can remember what it is.
Parental touche, hardcore.

I remember working for someone a couple decades ago who would go on long road trips to his vacation house and use a voice recorder. He'd record hours and hours of his thoughts, and then have his assistant transcribe the recordings.
One thing I've struggled with -- I have a lot of ideas. I write a lot of ideas down, but I do less well at capturing the level of detail that made the idea exciting at the time. That's what I'd like to develop further.
