I've found Logseq the easiest tool for taking quick and journaled notes. Since outlining in plain/markdown text is really quick and I don't need to think on text formatting or organization, just write, and fold if I want to have focus on something (plus it's open source).

So I have a daily template like this:

- Meetings (where I take notes about my meetings)

- Tasks (where I set the daily tasks, if there are unfinished tasks I can move them to the next day, but the idea is to set tasks that can be done in the same day)

- Notes (any quick notes that doesn't deserve a full page, like quick annotations)

Then for more long text I use Notes.app or Bear.
