Make sure you're noting "doubt", "indecision", "confusion" when the noting stalls. Have bare awareness of phenomenon before you note. Note any "rehearsing", "planning", "thinking", "imagining". A good thing to do is to note all day and notice how "imagning" makes you feel in your body especially in regards to likes and dislikes. Do this while you are following any of your habits.
Ultimately practice and time will make you better at it. Labelling will never be as fast as the sensations but bare awareness of the sensations is the most important part. Labelling allows you to see how one phenomenon can affect another making you react. If your having trouble coming up with labels you can study the 4 foundations of mindfulness and make a large list of the things that happen for each foundation and practice just 1 foundation at a time until you are good at each one then note anything as it happens. The consciousness (knowing part of the mind) is registering this stuff but you have to acknowledge it and fully experience it. The knowing part can see things like "interest", "attention", "intention to pay attention". The imagination part likes to project on top of things to find what is addictive or aversive so it can react. Your job is to see the reaction, avoid spinning in thoughts about why you like or dislike something (clinging) and keep consistent. As you get disenchanted with fixation/addiction/wallowing/rumination those mental habits start to atrophy and mental peace is more common. You want the amygdala to react to what is happening now as opposed to mental movies because it will react to things that aren't happening.
You can switch between noting with verbalizing/ping-pong noting with others/silent noting with just bare awareness
with acknowledgment (Daniel might use a beep or use "uh-huh")
Here's a good summary of noting and some of the pitfalls:
