I use it daily. Create notebooks for each topic, sections for each subtopic, and pages for each ‘chapter’. Wisely use the layout of the page to section off text vs visuals if you use any. Use attachments and hyperlinks to connect text. That’s how I use it. It seems to work, but I would love for this tool to become a little more advanced

Example of a page in a section: working session (a different activity/phase, separate from project SOW and kickoff phase)

I have 1 page per week with a table containing my categories that I fill with details, and a section for next week's to-dos. Anything verbose like meeting notes go free form at the bottom of the page. Keeping everything in one visual space helps me keep track of all the various discussions, meetings and deadlines I have. Makes writing my weekly status easy. Also a good way to jog the memory on Monday morning.
Works great for me.

If you use microsoft teams, you can link up one note to a shared project folder and share notes with your teams. Like a shared white board that helps keep everyone organized and accountable!

Small thing, but when I discovered you can I indent pages within a notebook that made it far easier to keep organized with multiple pages under a header

Just found out I didn’t move on to the next round and while I’m sure some of it was my performance, hard to not just be absolutely livid with my parents here who still don’t get it.
