Things like formulars might be better off on individual 3 x 5 cards. You might also be better off using the tree technique or being a very analytical person, the cronin? technique might be more your style (not sure if I got the name right I'm still in middle of research for another article on notetaking. Had hope to have it written today but my computer lost the data again.)
Being analytical numbers oriented by nature Mind mapping would be more difficult to apply. This means a different note taking might be more useful. As already suggested you might try freenoting. http://www.winwenger.com/freenote.htm have a look at that and see if that might help. You can also devise your own.
