  I keep mine in OneNote. I've started to now export notes from OneNote to markdown which I store with the source code in git, if it is a software-only or hardware & software related project, e.g. https://github.com/justinlloyd/retro-chores. But I still retain all my notes and diagrams and sketches directly in OneNote so that they are in sync with the various computers/displays available in the kitchen, workshop, studio, office, laptops, RV, out and about on my phone and various tablets. If I sketch something on paper, it is "scanned" in with the camera on my phone, and then added to OneNote. I take a lot of reference photos and in-progress photos which also go into OneNote.

  An alternative would be a large LCD screen with clever graphics and a physical overlay. For example here at https://github.com/JustinLloyd/retro-chores and scroll down until you find the images with the screen displays, e.g. https://github.com/JustinLloyd/retro-chores/blob/master/lab-notes-images/image012.jpg

  I don't know the answer to your problem. I've gone through periods of "lack of creativity" in my own life, usually when there's too many "life experiences" happening around me and my day job is spilling over in the number of hours it needs.

  I will say that WFH has helped immensely, at 6PM-ish I turn off the VM that is my day job computer and flip over to whatever it is I want to be working on, or go in to my workshop. I have designated areas in my home office for - this is where I write, this is where I do electronics, this is where I write code, this is where do my day job, this is where I do woodworking. That compartmentalization prevents other activities from spilling over. Limited social media hours, just like limited TV hours, is also another boon.

  I write a lot of what I call "lab notes" about my thought processes as I work through ideas, example here https://github.com/justinlloyd/retro-chores for a current project, take lots of pictures of things as I research, and see where it leads me.

  I also abandon a lot of things too, when I am no longer feeling the spark. I'd rather have a hundred abandoned creative projects than a few that I feel guilty about not working on, or not feeling the urge to work on.
