IMO, notes are anything that's worth writing down.
I have cheatsheets full of Excel formulas for complex transformations. Without it, I'd be forced to look up the ad-ridden website I originally pulled it from, on a work computer that doesn't have an adblocker.
Same goes for stuff I do rarely enough that I need to look up instructions each time. For example, I don't deploy websites except for personal use, so I usually need to re-read Digital Ocean docs to set up my stack on a Linux VM, assign SFTP users etc. Those articles are extremely long and full of related page links. Once I have my core setup steps down, I can just put those into my note.
Besides that, I have notes with images for clothes shopping. Instead of wasting time browsing in-store, I can quickly see whether they have any of the 10-12 types of clothing I usually buy (tops, bottoms, shoes, 4 subcategories for each).
