Imagine yourself sitting on the frontline and taking notes while the priest is speaking. I bet, not only the faithful surrounding you, but the priest too, will get distracted. The better option would be to recap the homily just after your get our of the church and discuss with your neighbors to ensure that you have not left out any point of discussion. This will also contribute to the participative attitude of your neighbor.

The short answer is that there is no problem in taking notes at Mass.
In my diocese, the candidates for the sacrament of confirmation are actively encouraged to take notes on a priest's sermon during Mass. Albeit it is for homework assignments throughout the diocese. No one pays attention to it here. I have even seen adults doing it.

The short answer is “no,” there is no problem if someone takes notes during the homily. (There are no norms regarding this, so there is not much in the way of sources, but anyone who wishes to remember the homily in detail is welcome to take notes.)
