notes down
Scribbles for later
To note down is to write something briefly for future reference, typically as a quick record rather than a formal document: She noted down his phone number on a napkin.
The phrase emphasizes the casual or hasty nature of the writing—jotting rather than composing.
Let me note that down before I forget.
