Honestly, I still stick to a notebook that I carry around with me all the time.
I write my daily goals, to-dos, etc. on it in the morning and carry it around with me all day. Any meeting notes or things I need to remember I put in there.
The downside is that it isn't searchable. However, I have found I hardly ever go back to my personal notes for things from several years ago (even when I used Evernote) and instead go to the things like Wikis for a product, comments in a user story in Jira, etc. This just means that important notes that I wrote down from a meeting I have to put in a place closest to the context it was about - which is technically duplicate work.
I don't mind it, however, because I still write down what I think was important on any given day, and if it was really important I have copied the note to a more permanent place closest to the context it was about by the end of the week.
Great conversation starter! Fun to read all the approaches and tools in this thread!
