Better note taking is not the problem, it's better thinking

The goal is to think effectively, have a better way of using the knowledge I'm wasting (I feel like I'm learning something but then I can't recall most of the things I read).

What can I do to come up with new insights? (specific knowledge)
For instance, what can I do to use my attention more effectively?
Evergreen notes are an investment

Most people who write this stuff have little experience with note taking (Most Zettelkasten intros want to change my life!).

a giant foot-shaped snail with a house on its back. the house is still in construction, with a big crane towering above it The image is a stylized black-and-white illustration. In the lower left corner, there is a small, cozy-looking house with smoke rising from its chimney. The smoke, however, does not dissipate into the air but instead forms a dark, looming cloud. Within the cloud, the silhouette of a large, menacing face is visible, with its eyes and nose peeking through the darkness. The creature, perhaps a cat, appears to be watching over the house ominously, creating a sense of foreboding or unease.
