That book is pretty cool, it's on the topic and if you haven't already taken a free kindle unlimited trial you can read it for free. To directly answer your questions, everyone agrees pictures and diagrams are great, but not if just directly copying everything from the book. Most agree verbatim copying of anything is bad, always reword. I found some sections I just don't want to take many notes for, like subnetting. I know I'm just going to have to drill those until I can do them in super short times, therefore taking detailed notes seems pointless. In the book, the author makes the case that questions make some of the best notes. He also goes into some bits of info about the relationship between hindsight bias and short term memory, and how they can lull you into a false sense of security in not taking enough notes. The TLDR of his method in relation to notes though is: ask questions, and answer them. Include anything you think you might not already know. Avoid using the same language as the book, even though that slows you down. Definitely also write down questions even if you don't immediately know the answer.

Read William Glasser's classic educational book The Quality School. There's no such thing as a bad kid and there's no such thing as a lazy/unmotivated kid. All children are motivated by something, just often not in the direction we desire them to be motivated. The key to good teaching is to hone in on what motivates them - that which is 'needs satisfying' to them - and work from there. A lot of it has to do with control - most students need a modicum of control in the classroom to be motivated by the activities put forth - their needs satisfied by such control.
If you click on that Amazon link above, you can read the first few pages of the book, which in and of themselves are very helpful.
Also, watch School of Rock with Jack Black and see an entertaining and extreme example of a teacher discovering this process on his own. For students to succeed, they must feel the work in important to them - in their own lives. Without that component the best you can hope for is a quiet classroom enforced by rigid authority. Get the kids to internalize that what is occurring is important to them as individuals and your discipline problems will disappear. But to 'get there' you must first start with discovering what is important to them. You probably need to do a time out from the curriculum and do a couple days of group discussion, bringing out what will be seen as important to them as individuals and the group as a whole, and settling on some norms based upon that discussion.
If you are praying about it - pray to know what is important to your students and ask for guidance as to how you can channel that which is important to them into your lessons.
