I don't understand the question. Or at least I don't see what you hope to learn from the responses.
Pretty much every aspect of note-taking is a deeply personal choice based on what you are doing, what the subject is, and what you want the notes to represent in the end. And probably changes over time, of course. You can learn about tools and methodologies but at the end of the day, these are just options to make your note-taking possibly more efficient, they don't help you take better notes, that only comes with experience.
IME you can't be "taught" how to take effective notes any more than you were "taught" to walk or function in society. You just figure it out after a while.

You're old. So am I.
Nowadays parents get their children diagnosed "on the spectrum", this both excuses the lack of ability to function in society and also provides benefits. Nobody is expected to figure it out any more, in fact in some circles it seems fashionable to either be "on the spectrum" or to have a child "on the spectrum".
Ask a benign question about note-taking and recieve a "kids these days", "back in my day", "everyone wants to be a victim" bullshit. The discourse on this site is certainly lacking.
You're right. I really went off in the wrong direction with that, when I see other people doing that I call them trolls. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I must be becoming some jaded old man!
Not op but I enjoy trying different note taking processes
One take away from this thread is to try going all in making my notes into anki format as i take them. Currently my workflow has the anki creation separately and I never get around to converting the notes.
I also wish that I could narrow myself down to 1 tool, rather than todoist, googledocs, and anki it would be freeing(and more effective) to only use anki
Now that I think about this, creating the anki on the fly will force me to actively read and might improve the note quality in general.
