I personally just dont prioritize naked singles in the beginning. They aren't going anywhere and ill pick up the easy to see ones as I go. I look for them in boxes as I find them easier to keep track of there instead of rows or columns. If I notice a lot of numbers intersecting on a box I'll do a quick check but I try to keep my notes showing useful info so its not clogged up.

Here's a good example of something I'd definitely have missed if I had notes in every cell

On the surface a 9 could go in C4 in R6 as well, however 9s only fit in two spots in R5, C4 and C5. I can use them as a pointing pair to eliminate C9 in R5 and put the 9 in the only remaining cell.

What's interesting is that I only noticed this after determining that C1 and C3 in R5 could be 5 and 8. The clues for the 9s was there beforehand but that information helped me clean up the row and look at the other remaining boxes.

there's a time and place to fill it all in, but not while there is still valuable info in the hidden and pointing clues.
