I have a single notes.org file (not an agenda file), where I do exactly what
Eric described and I have defined keys to get to it fast: no more "where did I
put that scrap of information" - well, not true: if I were perfectly disciplined
that would be the case, but since I am not, I sometimes have to go hunt down that
scrap; but the process is painful enough that once I find it, it goes into notes.org,
no ifs, ands or buts ;-)
