How do you use your language learning notebook?

I'm curious, how everyone here uses their notebook when studying a language? I used to write down new words I learned, mostly with example sentences/comparisons to similar vocab, notes, etc; and I feel like it does help when I write things out by hand, and having a notebook is genuinely so great. The problem is... it takes so much time. Working full-time, I find it almost impossible to keep up with that level of detail. I spend so much time making notes, I barely have time for anything else, and it just feels so inefficient... I tried moving to Anki, but honestly, it is just not as much fun (while it does have some benefits in reviewing the material) I don't really want to give up using a notebook, since writing things down helps them stick, just trying to find a better balance... Did anyone else run into this problem? How do you use your language learning notebook? What do you write in it/hot do you manage it? I'd love to hear what has worked for you!
