I’m much the same. I only keep note of:

- Stuff that has a lot of details that rarely change (all my insurance policies, what they cover, the policy numbers etc.

- Details that are “hot” in my mind right now that I might need in the same detail later (the steps to refill my boiler, the exact type of door handle I bought for my bathroom door when it broke, so I can purchase the same one once my kitchen door handle breaks)

With anything else (like, notes on books I read, notes on work I did) I either:

- Make too detailed notes which take too long - Make too short notes that don’t hold any value - Never feel a need to recall them - Never remember to recall them if a situation arises

Still interesting to read how other do it.
