Nah, but I'd just overcomplicate everything as usual. There's a reason why every piece of tech I get is hardly working software-wise after I play around with it.

Like, when learning something, and I start taking notes, I start to overcomplicate how they should look. I keep thinking of more and more stuff to add and cover with my "format", and then I keep forgetting the proper "format" so I keep going back through the notes just to figure out... I don't know... how many different headings I have and their applications.
And then I can't continue for certain reasons because, say I used red, green and blue pen + yellow, green, pink and orange highlighter, but one of them has run out, and I don't have a replacement, but I need the red pen because how else am I going to do sections, and now I've run out of time.

And when it comes to the first part, I am too lazy to write a cheatsheet for easier consistency.

On the other hand, I may not do it, and then I'll never look at my notes again.

And look, I am back after over half an hour, I forgot to actually post the comment...

I am a pro at making things much harder than they ever need to be, then screwing myself by burning out on any project because I had to do it the right, hard way, or anything else is cheating and lazy.
