I used to use Notion until I hit that free block limit. Then I moved back to using Google Keep and Trello. I take my thoughts and store them in Google Keep as rough drafts. I then take these drafts and put them in the specific Trello cards that I have. I have a board specifically for personal goals like health, wealth, education, family, etc. And I store and arrange my keep notes in there. Similar for side projects, ideas and inspirations. For note taking I use a speech-to-text Gboard input to google keep, so if I happen to have any shower thoughts, its quickly recorded.

Work wise, everything is in email. I write meeting notes directly in the email and send them out as soon as the meeting is over. I bring my phone and a bluetooth keyboard to these meetings, fire up my gmail and start writing. Why my phone? My laptop dies out in 2 hours. My phone can last a day and more on a full charge.
