Interested to hear what people have to say. Thanks!
P.S. I use OneNote for this but since it's mostly text theoretically I could use anything

The real magic (for me) is highlighters. I highlight in my journal. Green = Requires action, orange = some kind of policy or process thing, blue = plan for later, or something I want to come back to or a stray idea to try out later.
Indentations happen to expand on the previous line. Hanging words are pushed over to the extremity of the page. I sometimes write sideways on pages as almost literal sidebars. There's an entire page of a handdrawn command line, colored with lines to output explaining a provisioning script I was rewriting earlier this year.
End of the day I then write a summary in OneNote (coming to really like this program--first time back in a Windows shop since 98SE), and later toss the critical stuff that needs to be de-silo'd into the team wiki.
Works for me, utterly baffles everyone else-but folks seem to love how obsessive I am about updating the wiki. Onboarding new devs is HILARIOUSLY fast now. So...there's that.
...I'm kind of obsessive about journaling..sorry for the wall of text. Saw the topic and got excited.
