helps for complexity in large tasks. Not really with small tasks (since you spend more time making and reading notes than doing the work). Programming is an example where notes can’t save me, I just need to hyperfocus or I won’t get anything done.

I do it because it helps me visually separate SQL keywords from table and column names.

Helps especially when your SQL is embedded in another file so there is no syntax highlighting.
