Every time I see posts like this, I feel like I should take more notes. I do write some down, but I rarely use them afterward.
I'm curious, what do you actually do with your notes? How do they help you in real life?

Other things include planning and documenting projects like travel planning. If I write it down now and have it in one place, I'll look at it at the planned time I'll use it (during the trip).
Another example is info I had to watch a YouTube video for that can be paraphrased. Cleaning and descaling my espresso machine is a good example. It's a few textual lines and I know I do it once every few months, so having it essentially cached in my notes comes in handy.
If I can't Google it (at least in a reasonable amount of time) and I suspect it may come up again, I'll jot it down. If I can't see any way I'd care about it in the future, I don't bother jotting it down.
