How to calculate in chess notation?

Hey guys, I wanted advice from strong players if they calculate using chess notation like c4 Kd3, etc in their mind or calculate as I go here he goes there, and so on? if you calculate using chess notation could you give me some advice on how I can also learn to calculate using chess notation? I don't face much problems in the standard calculation but when I solve endgame puzzles that are very long I feel lost because of my inferior way of calculation.

Not really. At least i don't. Just try visualizing better
You don’t use the notation consciously for calculating. In other words it’s useless in that sense.
