Each day I (and I assume most knowledge workers, devs, creatives) read many articles, papers, code snippets, AI responses, discord messages etc.

At the end of the day some of this information is most likely lodged in your brain and the digital version can be discarded. However some of it should be retained manually in some system - or at least I feel it should.

What approaches do people use to consolidate and store this information to allow all tabs etc to be closed for the next work day?

If it's interesting enough, and/or "big, will read later" then I save a local copy (pdf, html, plain text or even an image).

Mostly organised in logical-to-me directory structure.

Local storage beats online-only in many ways, imho. Online content rots away over time. Whereas backing up local files is easy.

Beside that: browser bookmarks, simple note-taking app, and (last but not least) pen & paper.
